God spoke

The Biblical Account of Creation – God ‘spoke’ all creation into existence

It is first necessary to note that we MUST ALWAYS believe the infallible Truth of the Bible over the fallible human
interpretation and presupposition of scientific research and discovery.

The Biblical account of creation was recorded over 3400 years ago. While we will never understand the mysteries of God’s creative force, what we have discovered clearly points to the only force which would have the power to create everything that exists. Follow along as we explore God’s supernatural account of creation and expose the utter lack of naturalistic explanations that attempt to discredit it.

The Bible states that God created the atmosphere and the earth:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; …” Genesis 1:1, 2

The earth’s position in the solar system and its atmosphere are too precise to conclude it occurred by chance:
“’They confirm that the solar system is indeed unusual,’ Young said. It ‘sticks out like a sore thumb above the rest.’
So something must have enriched the neighborhood where the solar system formed with these rare types of oxygen.”

God’s Word clearly states that the earth was spherical, not flat:
“It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,” Isaiah 40:22

See how the flat-earth nonsense was nothing but a smear campaign against Christians:

God declared that the heavens and earth sing of His Glory:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 19:1
“Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light!” Psalm 148:3

  • “‘Essentially, the star is ringing like a bell,’ Metcalfe said in statement. ‘As it moves through its starspot cycle, the tone and volume of the ringing changes in a very specific pattern, moving to higher tones with lower volume at the peak of its magnetic cycle.’ …
    ‘This technique of listening to the stars will allow us to examine potentially hundreds of stars,’ said study co-author Savita Mathur, also of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in a statement.”

There are no naturalistic explanations for the origin of ANY planet, including Earth:

The Bible states that water was present with God in the beginning:

“… and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” Genesis 1:2,3

God declared how He orchestrates the hydrological cycle:
“He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;” Psalm 135:7

God declared that the structure of water is “unstable”:
“Unstable as water, you shall not excel,” Genesis 49:4
(Making water electrically unbalanced, hydrogen bonds break and reform within picoseconds.)

God declared that water is “life”:
“Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.’” John 4:13,14

It is known that water is the force behind all sorts of complex processes that are essential for cellular development and health:

  • “‘Understanding hydrophobicity, and how different conditions change it, is probably one of the most fundamental components in understanding how proteins fold in water and how different biomolecules remain stable in it,’ says Kumar. ‘And if we understand this, we will not only have a new way of thinking about physics and biology but also a new way to approach health and disease.’”
    Rockefeller University, “By Tracking Water Molecules, Physicists Hope to Unlock Secrets of Life,” March 1, 2010, ScienceDaily.
    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100227215943.htm
  • “‘ATP is the fuel of life. It’s an energy currency molecule – the most important source of chemical and mechanical energy in living systems,’
    Scientists for decades have worked to understand the critically important reaction but, until now, did not know how proteins in a cell extract and use the energy from ATP…
    ‘Conventional wisdom pointed toward the reactive agent that starts the ATP breakdown process as being something in the protein, such as an amino acid,’ notes Edward Wojcik, an assistant professor and another co-author on the paper.
    But, it wasn’t an amino acid at all: It was a second water molecule that pulled the proton off the first water molecule …
    ‘For such a relatively simple molecule, water still has some tricks to teach us, and I am still amazed that we found it to play such a pivotal role in the motor protein machinery,’ Wojcik says.”

    http://www.physorg.com/news186584297.html

The structure of water is overwhelmingly complex and has dozens of anomalies that cannot be explained when applying known physic principles:

  • “Water is the most studied material on Earth but it is remarkable to find that the science behind its behavior and function are so poorly understood (or even ignored), not only by people in general, but also by scientists working with it everyday.”
    Martin Chaplin, Emeritus Professor of Applied Science, London South Bank University website, “Water Structure and Science” page.
    http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/
  • “It is well known that the structural and dynamical properties of water are of central importance for life on our planet. However, despite this knowledge its structural and dynamical properties are still far from fully understood.”
    American Physical Society, “Hidden Slow Dynamics in Water”, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 017802, January 8, 2010.
    http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v104/i1/e017802

There are no naturalistic explanations for the origin of water. (No papers found.)
If evolutionists cite hydrogen bonds as the naturalistic ‘force’ or ’cause’ (cause and effect) as their explanation for hydrogen and oxygen combining to form a water molecule, the origin of hydrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen bonds must be explained first. Then, they must explain why and how only some hydrogen and oxygen atoms combine instead of an uncontrolled exponential creation of water molecules. (Localized humidity levels are variable, so humidity would NOT be a factor.)

Genesis states that God created light:

“Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.” Genesis 1:3

Before He created the stars, God was the only source of Light and will be the only source of Light again in the future:
“The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.” Revelation 21:23
“There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.” Revelation 22:5

There are no naturalistic explanations for the origin of light, i.e. particles and/or waves of electromagnetic radiation (While the following research paper is from 2001, there are no further papers available that explain how light might have originated):
“The existence of light (a massless U(1) gauge boson) is one of unresolved mysteries in nature.”
Xiao-Gang Wen, Professor of Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Origin of Light,” June 15, 2001 (See PDF)

The Bible states that God created the sun, the moon (reflective not radiant), and all the stars to cast light on the earth:

“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. 17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness.”
Genesis 1:14-18

There are no naturalistic explanations for the origin of stars and planets:

The Bible states that God created life from dust (dirt):

“For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19

It is known that DNA is made up of of nonorganic elements found in dust:
“The basic chemicals found in DNA are carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorous.”
Mitochondrial DNA Testing website, “What is DNA made of?” page.
http://www.mitochondrialdnatesting.com/what-is-dna-made-of.html

The double helix structure of DNA might be the “common structure that underpins all life, organic and nonorganic.”:
“The new research, to be published this week in the New Journal of Physics, found nonorganic dust, when held in the form of plasma in zero gravity, formed the helical structures found in DNA. The particles are held together by electromagnetic forces that the scientists say could contain a code comparable to the genetic information held in organic matter. It appeared that this code could be transferred to the next generation …
The findings have provoked speculation that the helix could be a common structure that underpins all life, organic and nonorganic.”

The Bible states that God (Jesus) created every form of life:

Go to Genesis 1:11-27

  • “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” John 1:3
  • “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:16

God assembled each cell and ALL life:
NOTE: Since all actions MUST be attributed to a specific known source (principle of cause and effect), the erroneous term “self-assembly” refers to a supernatural process (God) disguised as ‘naturalistic.’

  • “Every cell, it appears, is a kind of universal computer that can be instructed in seemingly limitless ways by a DNA genome that specifies what chemical processes to execute, thus building an active organism.”

The Bible states that God (Jesus) continually “upholds” His Creation and all things are held together by Him, i.e. “consist”:

  • “upholding all things by the word of His power” Hebrews 1:3
  • “And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” Colossians 1:17

God (Jesus) controls the perpetual assembly and organization of all creation, both non-life and life:

  • “The natural world is a shining example when it comes to the self-assembly of molecules. However, it has not disclosed all of its secrets yet. Controlling the shape and structure of self-assembled systems continues to be a stumbling block for scientists.”

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/05/090514084122.htm
  • “There is presently considerable interest in the phenomenon of ‘self-organisation’ in dynamical systems. The rough idea of self-organisation is that a structure appears ‘by itself’ in a dynamical system, with reasonably high probability, in a reasonably short time, with no help from a special initial state, or interaction with an external system. What is often missed, however, is that the standard evolutionary account of the origin of multi-cellular life fits this definition, so that higher living organisms are also products of self-organisation. Very few kinds of object can self-organise, and the question of what such objects are like is a suitable mathematical problem … These arguments suggest that standard evolutionary theories of the origin of higher organisms are incomplete.”

  • “The principle of self-organization, which allows very economical use of resources, is also exploited in the production of functionalized surfaces required in molecular electronics, sensor applications, catalysis and photovoltaic components. The idea of the manufacturing process is that molecular components are brought into contact with a substrate material, and then ‘magically’ find their preferred positions in the desired molecular network.”

The Bible states that God created life “according to its(their) kind.” Genesis 1:11, 1:12, 1:21, 1:24, 1:25

(The phrase “according to its kind” is used repeatedly in the Genesis 1, and “kinds” loosely refer to ‘families’ in the biological classification of mammals and birds.)

While there are a plethora of variations within “kinds” of life, there is NO empirical evidence that shows continual and unlimited change can produce novel features and traits in existing organisms (common descent):

THE FOLLOWING ARE JUST A FEW PHENOMENA THAT CAN ONLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO GOD’S SUPERNATURAL FORCE:

1. A molecular structure called a primary cilium extends above the surface of all cells. It acts as an antenna that receives extracellular information and then sends precise and essential instructions to the inner cell via sound waves:

  • “Primary cilia are small, hair-like appendages attached to the surface of human cells. They act like antennae, sensing and evaluating extracellular signals to coordinate the development and stability of a wide variety of organs.”
    University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, “Primary Cilia Formation Provides Insight Into Genetic Diseases”, April 15, 2010, ScienceDaily.
    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100414130836.htm
  • “Particularly important are fast transport proteins in the primary cilia, the cell’s antennas, with which they channel information from the surroundings into the cell.”

    http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/05/100521191233.htm
  • “The primary cilium, the solitary, antenna-like structure that studs the outer surfaces of virtually all human cells, orient cells to move in the right direction and at the speed needed to heal wounds, much like a Global Positioning System helps ships navigate to their destinations.”
    American Society for Cell Biology, “Primary cilium as cellular ‘GPS system’ crucial to wound repair”, December 17, 2008, Physorg.
    http://www.physorg.com/news148742058.html
  • “In fact, it looks so useless that, until recently, many scientists considered it to be just a leftover artifact of eons of evolution.
    Recently, however, research has shown that defects in the development or function of primary cilia are associated with many human disorders, including polycystic kidney disease, skeletal malformations, neural tube defects, as well as obesity. Clearly there’s more here than meets the eye. Scientists have since decided that the primary cilium works as a kind of antenna to help the cell respond to outside chemical signals and mechanical forces.”
    Stanford University Medical Center, “Mysterious cilium functions as cellular communication hub, study shows”, June 24, 2010, Physorg.
    http://www.physorg.com/news196605108.html

There are NO ‘naturalistic’ explanations for the origin of a primary cilium.

2. It is known that there are complex control systems and master regulatory networks within ALL life:
(If evolutionists cite specific genetic elements as the ‘force’ and/or explanation for these processes, they first must explain the origin of those elements as well as how they specifically orchestrate the process.)

  • “When a cell is preparing to grow or replicate, it starts the way a monarch planning to expand his territory might: by identifying and marshaling the necessary resources, loading them onto the appropriate vehicles, and transporting them to the front line.
    For cells, that means connecting key molecules with so-called motor proteins, which are neatly equipped to recognize them and carry them to their designated positions at the intended site of growth.”

There are NO ‘naturalistic’ explanations for the origin of control systems and master regulatory networks.

3. Vibrations in the form of frequencies are found within all organic and inorganic matter. These frequencies produce unique detectable sounds that create a ‘resonance’ between objects which causes them to ‘get in tune’ with each other:

  • “Scientists from the Ulysses mission have proven that sounds generated deep inside the Sun cause the Earth to shake and vibrate in sympathy. They have found that Earth’s magnetic field, atmosphere and terrestrial systems, all take part in this cosmic sing-along.”

    http://pda.physorg.com/_news106568459.html
  • “Though people seldom witness it directly, the entire world is in a state of motion, and where solid objects are concerned, this motion is manifested as vibration. When the vibrations produced by one object come into alignment with those of another, this is called resonance …
    As its name suggests, resonance is a matter of one object or force “getting in tune with” another object.”

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/thematerialworld_20031120.shtml

There are NO ‘naturalistic’ explanations for the origin of frequencies (sound waves).

The irony in the evolution/creation debate is the evolutionists intuitively know that there must be some type of ‘force’ or ’cause’ other than unguided design. Instead of acknowledging God, however, they designate “Nature” or “Mother Nature” as their deity of choice:

We are not advocating the teaching of the Biblical Account of Creation within science education. But, mandatory teaching of the ridiculous premise of evolution and all of its tenets is nothing short of promoting the religion of Humanism.

The below excerpt is from the Humanist Manifesto I. Manifesto II and III purposely took out the word “religion” and “religious” as Humanists realized that would be admitting that Humanism IS a religion after all:
“Today man’s larger understanding of the universe, his scientific achievements, and deeper appreciation of brotherhood, have created a situation which requires a new statement of the means and purposes of religion. Such a vital, fearless, and frank religion capable of furnishing adequate social goals and personal satisfactions may appear to many people as a complete break with the past. While this age does owe a vast debt to the traditional religions, it is none the less obvious that any religion that can hope to be a synthesizing and dynamic force for today must be shaped for the needs of this age. To establish such a religion is a major necessity of the present. It is a responsibility which rests upon this generation. We therefore affirm the following:
FIRST: Religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created.”

 “Though people seldom witness it directly, the entire world is in a state of motion, and where solid objects are concerned, this motion is manifested as vibration. When the vibrations produced by one object come into alignment with those of another, this is called resonance …
As its name suggests, resonance is a matter of one object or force “getting in tune with” another object. One literal example of this involves shattering a wine glass by hitting a musical note that is on the same frequency as the natural frequency of the glass. (Natural frequency depends on the size, shape, and composition of the object in question.) Because the frequencies resonate, or are in sync with one another, maximum energy transfer is possible …
The resonance between vibrations produced by wind and those of the structure itself brought down a powerful bridge in 1940, a highly dramatic illustration of physics in action that was captured on both still photographs and film …
It was not just the speed of these winds, but the fact that they produced oscillations of resonant frequency, that caused the bridge to twist and, ultimately, to crumble.”
