CREATION #4

4.38 Polar ice caps. There is no widely held mechanism

for the formation of ice caps. Antarctica is a

desert. The canopy flood theory offers a

possible explanation. Other ice age features

are better explained by the flood also (frozen

mammoths, Spokane gravels).

5. Age of the earth. Lines of evidence indicating a young

age of the earth far outweigh evidence for an old age of the earth.

The best scientific methods produce ages which correspond with

Biblical ages of the earth.

6. What is evolution?

6.1. Evolution is a philosophy which affects all areas

of life.

The key philosophic question is "Where did

we come from?" The two currently popular models of

evolution stand in absolute contradiction with each

other. From the ancient ideas through the modern models

only the major concept -origin and propagation of life

forms without God -remains unchanged. Evolution provides

the humanist with an answer to this apart from God.

6.1.1. Many specialists work in the context of assuming

evolution to be true while they are not really aware

of why they believe evolution.

6.1.2. This leads to turmoil (Marx, Hitler) and

dehumanizing man (Ps 8.4).

6.2. What are the ideas of the origin of life?

6.2.1. God stated that He created life forms that

reproduce after their own kind (Gen 1.11,21,24,29).

6.2.2. Ancient Greeks had attributed life to processes that

work apart from God: Thales (600 BC), life arose

from the sea; Heraclitus, life was transposed;

Aristotle ( 300 BC) proposed an evolutionary

scale.

6.2.3. Paul recognized that people ascribed God's

creative power to idols (Rom 1.23) and god's of

animism.

6.2.4. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1790) - evolution through

inherited characteri
