Complex world demands an intelligent creator
Does the fossil record support evolution?
Fact 1. All life in the fossil record appears abruptly and fully formed, showing no intermediate fossils revealing change.
Fact 2. Fossils of dinosaurs with soft tissue prove they are not millions of years old but fit into the Biblical young Earth.
Fact 3. Darwin himself was puzzled by the lack of fossil evidence to support evolution.
Fact 4. Are mutations the result of evolution? No mutations are always a loss of information and never an increase.
Fact 5. Dr. Stephen Gould, a famous paleontologist, stated “The absence of fossil evidence ... has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution.
Fact 6. It s universally accepted that “life only comes from life.” That rules out the possibility of life beginning by random chance. Further to that the amazing complexity of our human bodies, and indeed all forms of life down to the simplest cell, surely demands a highly intelligent designer as well as a creator which is precisely what God claims to be. This creator has revealed Himself through his word the Holy Bible and through the Lord Jesus Christ. This God has revealed Himself as Love whereas in evolution there is no love but only survival of the fittest.
Consider these mind-boggling facts scientists have discovered: In a single human cell of DNA there are three billion letters of information. In our bodies we have 75 trillion to 100 trillion cells. Such complexity demands an intelligent creator who has revealed himself both in his word and in the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, life only comes from life and Jesus in John 14:6 declared “I am the way and the truth and the life.”
