Is there science that disproves evolution to be wrong?
First there are some preliminaries
It is essential to “blindfold our prejudices” and shed the baggage of our
misconceptions. The only sure barrier to truth is the presumption that you already have it…20th century science has
vindicated the Biblical perspectives of reality (the finite universe; the discovery of the nature of time, the realization
of hyperspaces...and more!).
There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against
all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation before investigation.
— Edmund Spencer
Age of the Universe
Just
How Old Is The Universe?*
Have you ever noticed and wondered why the Evolutionist keep
changing the age of the earth. Because true science keeps proving that there is not enough time for chance to work. By adding
more time to the evolutionary scenario they have now created for themselves more problems to answer.
So how old is the planet on which
we live?
Valid Question! Let’s follow the evidence and see where it leads.
”Since the present popular
evolutionary position is that the universe is 15 to 25 billion years old, we should check the evidence to see if this position
is true. The following is a brief and partial list of some "puzzling" scientific facts which indicate the universe and the
earth is not billions of years old. The evidence indicates that we should think in terms of thousands of years instead of
billions of years”.
The Top Soil Factor
It takes around a thousand years to produce one inch of
top soil by the forces of erosion such as wind and rain. If the earth is billions of years old and the process by which top
soil is created has been functioning all the time (i.e., uniformitarianism) there should be a thick layer of top soil on the
earth's crust. But there is only an average depth of six to nine inches of top soil on the earth! This amount can only explain
thousands of years of erosion. Where is the top soil created by billions of years of erosion? Where did it go?
The
Ocean's Floor
Perhaps the vast amount of top soil created by billions of years of erosion has simply washed into
the ocean and can be found in sedimentary deposits on its floor. If the earth is billions of years old and the erosion rate
has been steady and of such a degree to explain where all the top soil went, the sediment at the bottom of the ocean should
be miles deep. But the sediment on the ocean floor only has a 0.56 mile average thickness! This depth can only explain thousands
of years and cannot represent billions of years of erosion. Where is the sediment created by billions of years of erosion.
Where did it go?
Meteor Dust
When meteors collide with the earth's atmosphere they disintegrate into
dust which settles on the earth's surface. Given the present rate at which meteor dust is settling on the earth, if the earth
is billions of years old there should be at least fifty-four feet of meteor dust on the surface of the planet. Since the depths
of top soil and ocean sediment do not contain billions of years of meteor dust, what happened to this dust? Where did it go?
The
Helium Factor
As radioactive materials disintegrate, helium is released as a by-product into the atmosphere. Given
the present rate at which helium is released into the atmosphere, if the earth is billions of years old, there should be enough
helium in the atmosphere to make us all talk like Donald Duck. There is only enough helium in the atmosphere to explain thousands
of years. Where did the helium produced by billions of years go?
The Salty Sea
Given the present rate
at which salt and other materials are being washed into the ocean, if the earth is billions of years old, what should be the
concentration of salt in the earth's oceans? There is only enough salt in the ocean to explain thousands of years of erosion.
The concentration of such minerals as nickel as well as salt in the earth's oceans would be many times greater if the earth
were billions of years old. Where has all the billions of years of salt and other minerals gone?
The Shrinking
Sun
The sun is shrinking as its energy is flung into the galaxy. Given the present rate of shrinkage, if the sun
is billions of years old, it should have disappeared by now. Or, if the sun is billions of years old, in order for it to have
shrunk down to the size it is now, it would have been at the beginning so big that it would have engulfed the space now occupied
by most of the planets in this galaxy. If this is true, then where did the planets come from?
These are just a few puzzling scientific facts which will lead any open-minded person
to the conclusion that the universe is a lot younger than billions of years old. We should not let the religious prejudice
of the evolutionists force us to accept their doctrines by a blind leap of faith when the scientific evidence does not correspond
to their theories.

Foundation (P.O. Box 141455, Austin, TX 78714). For a more complete discussion, obtain a copy of The Illustrated Origins
Answer Book by Paul S. Taylor (Films for Christ).
Death of Darwinism
Advances in microbiology, DNA, et al., have dealt the death blow to
Darwinism. DNA is a digital code. Darwinism cannot explain the origin
of life because it cannot explain the origin of information. Irreducible
complexity refutes chance as a designer.
Yet more young earth indicators
Moon Dust: The lunar surface is exposed to direct sunlight, and strong
ultraviolet light and x-rays can destroy the surface layers of exposed rock
and reduce them to dust at a rate of a few ten-thousandths of an inch per
year. But even this minute amount during the age of the moon could be
sufficient to form a layer several miles deep.” (R. A. Lyttleton, astronomer
and consultant to NASA, 1956.) Only a few thousand year’s worth
found. Neil Armstrong, Apollo 12, was concerned as he stepped out…
The vehicles prepared for landing on the moon were equipped
with special snow shoes because it was assumed that if the moon was billions of years old there should be an incredibly thick
layer of dust on the moon created by such things as meteor impact. They discovered only one-fourth of an inch of dust on the
moon! This amount of dust can account for only thousands of years. If the moon is billions of years old, where did all the
dust accumulated during this time go?
Earth’s Magnetic Field: Earth’s magnetic field half-life is calculated to
be 1,400 years. Based on measurements taken from 1835 to 1965 estimates
an age of less than 10,000 years. If extrapolated back 20,000 years,
the joule heat generated would liquefy the earth. [Thomas G. Barnes,
Origin and Destiny of the Earth’s Magnetic Field, Institute for Creation
Research, 1983. After revisions for magnetic reversals, etc., Dr. Russell
Humphreys confirmed these results. (John D. Morris, The Young Earth,
1994.)]
[What do evolutionist do with that? They don’t talk about it. This is only more “sci-en-tif-ic”
proof against evolution.]
Mississippi River Delta: Approximately
300 million cubic yards of
sediment are deposited into the Gulf of Mexico by the
Mississippi River
each year. Analysis of the volume and rate of accumulation and dividing
the weight of the sediments deposited annually, the age of the delta
appears to be about 4,000 years old. (Henry M. Morris, ICR.)
The Bible, speaking of the sun
Ps 19:6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto
the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
150 years
scientist found that the sun does follow a circuit. Scientist use to say that this verse proved the inaccuracy of the Bible
because they knew that the sun does not make a circuit around the earth. Scientist
has since found that the earth does make a circuit within the Milky Way Galaxy.
The jet stream:
Ecclesiastes 1:6-7 (AMP)
6 The wind goes to the
south and circles about to the north; it circles and circles about continually, and on its circuit the wind returns
again.
7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the
place from which the rivers come, to there and from there they return again.
Job 26:7-8 (AMP)
7 He it is Who spreads out the
northern skies over emptiness and hangs the earth upon or over nothing.
Job 38:19-20 (AMP)
19 Where is the way where light
dwells? And as for darkness, where is its abode,
20 That you may conduct
it to its home, and may know the paths to its house?
[4] How, except by divine inspiration, could Job have known that light does not dwell in a place, but a way? For light,
as modern man has discovered, involves motion (wave motion). Traveling 186,000
miles a second, it can only dwell in a way.
Oceanography
Job 38:16 (AMP)
16 Have you explored the springs of the sea? Or have you
walked in the recesses of the deep?
Last 100 years found fresh water springs on ocean floor.
Jonah 2:6 (AMP)
6 I went down to the bottoms and the very roots
of the mountains; the earth with its bars closed behind me forever. Yet You have brought up my life from the pit and
corruption, O Lord my God.
Mid Atlantic
ridge: Jonah knew that there were mountains that were not found until the last 100 years.
Rainbow.
Job 38:24 (NKJV)
24 By what way is light diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

Peter 3:10 (NKJV)
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens
will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in
it will be burned up.
Colossians 1:17 (AMP)
17 And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).

Biology: God told Moses that he was to circumcise the youth on the 8th day. Prothubamin a clotting agent
highest on eighth day.
Sphericity of the Earth
It is he that sitteth above the circle [literally a sphere, khug in Hebrew]
of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth
out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in....
Isaiah 40:22
In another remarkable verse, Job, the author of the oldest book in the Bible, seems to understand that
the earth is a sphere: He has inscribed a circle [khug] on the surface of the waters, At the boundary
of light and darkness..
Job 26:10 NASB
Plants
have a body. Animals have a body and a conciseness of life and man has a body and a conciseness of life and a conciseness
of God.
Oceanography
Matthew Fontaine Maury
Matthew Fontaine Maury was born in Spotsylvania
County, Virginia, in 1806. As an avid Bible reader, he was struck
by the reference in Psalm 8 to “the paths of the seas. He also noticed that Isaiah wrote of a “path through the
mighty waters.” The pursuit of this enigma became Maury’s lifetime quest.
He entered the Navy in 1825 as a midshipman. By 1842 he was placed in charge of the Depot
of Charts and Instruments, out of which grew the U.S. Naval Observatory and Hydrographic Office. To gather information on
maritime winds and currents, Maury distributed to ship captains specially prepared logbooks from which he compiled pilot charts,
enabling him to shorten the time of sea voyages. In 1848 he published maps of the main wind fields of Earth. Maury was ultimately
able to produce charts of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, a profile of the Atlantic seabed,
and the first modern oceanographic text. He is internationally recognized as the “Father of Oceanography” and
Maury Hall at the U.S. Naval Academy is named in his honor. All because of a remez, a hint of something deeper, in
a verse of the Psalms.
Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
Let me explain this verse. Call someone on the phone.
The Human Brain Network
A highly organized network of uniquely adaptive communication channels;
if only 1% of the connections were specifically organized pathways,
it would still represent a greater number of connections than the
entire communications network on the Planet Earth.
The Water Cycle
The earth.s water cycle, elucidated 300 years ago by Pierre Perrault and Edme Marriotte, demonstrated
that oceanic evaporation was the source of rain clouds and river waters.10 This fact, and other aspects of global weather,
was anticipated nearly 3,000 years earlier in the Bible.
Jet Stream Ecclesiastes 1:6-7
Evaporation Job 26:8, Eccl 1:6-7, Amo 9:6
Source of River Water Ecclesiastes 1:6-7
Fresh-Water Springs in the Sea Job 38:16
In Conclusion:
The Bible is unique in many ways:
- The manuscripts are very ancient and have been preserved with unparalleled
purity.
- It evidences a supernatural origin in its anticipation of contemporary
scientific knowledge.
- The Bible proclaims a message of salvation which is based on faith
and not good works.
- It is the only holy book that authenticates its message is from an
extraterrestrial source.
- Time is relative. The Bible describes God as inhabiting eternity (Isaiah
57:15). Thus, He can authenticate His Message to us. How? By declaring the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). We typically
call this .prophecy (2 Timothy 1:9).

Genesis
1:1 begin
In you
and me we will find 13 of the basic elements found in common dirt. The difference is in the way that Adam was made. God formed
him out of the dust of the earth. God then picked him up like a rag doll hang down over a child’s arm with no life and
then God breathed in to his nostrils the breath of life. Adam received a part of the very being of God.
God then
gave to Adam every thing that He had just made. Everything. Everything. Adam was put in charge. Adam was given dominion. Adam
was give a perfectly balanced and in total harmony world. Adam had it all. Adam was to pass this down to us as he received
it.
When
God Created and said “it is good” He was saying this is made to be beneficial for mankind.
God did
not give us this book to prove His existence; He has given to us a book to provide purposes for our existence.
There is God and His presence,
God and His purpose for life. Life is to be full of purpose, meaning, and significance. Life is not to be empty and lonely
and alienated from God. God created the universe and gave man life so that man could be fulfilled and satisfied and live forever.
God gave man life so that man could live in the fullness of God's...
Love, joy, and peace
Longsuffering, gentleness,
and goodness
Faith, meekness,
and control (Gal. 5:22-23)
God gave man life so that man
could fellowship, worship, and serve God in all the fullness of life forever and ever.
"For I know the thoughts that
I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end [a future and a hope]"
(Jeremiah 29:11).
"For I know the plans that I have
for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11, NASB).
"I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
"For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he
formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the
earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right"
(Isaiah 45:18-19).
Let me tell you a secret. The universe was created for us. Oh, I'm sorry, God said, "I have not spoken
in secret", he formed it to be inhabited.
"For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain [empty,
as a waste], he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:18).
John
1:1-4,14
1 In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the Father, full of grace and truth.
