Theistic evolution

I have spent some time in reading a lot of the articles written about theistic evolution, and basicly theistic evolution states that God is in charge of the biological process called evolution. God directs and guides the unfolding of life forms over millions of years. Theistic evolution contends that there is no conflict between science and the Biblical book of Genesis. Frankly I have a problem with that statement. God is in charge of the biological process, in fact God is in charge of the whole process. There is the age old question many have asked, what came first, the chicken or the egg. I think when that question is asked, its like saying he put the horse before the cart. What I'm trying to say is this, in my view theistic evolution is nothiong more than a compromise with Darwinian evolution, compromising with the world view brings about failure and I believe is also degrades who we believe God is. So lets start at the beginning. , "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" In the first sentence that Moses penned he used the Hebrew word "(beginning - re'shiyth" meaning the first in place, time, order of rank (specificly first fruit) The second word he used was God or the Hebrew word elohiym. Now here we get into multiple meanings. Elohiym is the plurl of el-o'-ah which comes from el, or almighty. Under the meanings of elohiym we see "the supreme God and occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates. The next word that is used is heavens, or the Hebrew word shaw-meh. This word comes from an unused root meaning to be lofty. Alluding to the visible sky as well as where the celestial bodies revolve. The Next word is created. Moses used the Hebrew word bara which means to create, to cut down a piece of wood or to select, to choose, to do or to make. The last word Moses used was earth or the hebrew word eh'-rets which is from an unused root meaning to be firm. Translation - The first place, the first time, the first fruits of The might one, the supreme God and magistrate choose to create the sky, all the celestial bodies that revolve, and a place that is firm. Along with all that is in the universe God created earth.

You probabaly are asking why go to all this trouble to translate, we already know what it says. And that is where the problem lies. We have read it so much we've lost sight of the real meaning. question, what did God say when he had finished creating? In Genesis 1:31 He says

"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now let me ask you a question, How is it stated. Moses made a statement and ended it with a period. Meaning the creation was complete.

Now let me ask you another question, when God creates does he leave anything unfinished. God said that everything he created was good. But look how Moses starts out in the second sentence.

"And the earth was without form, and void"

Moses uses the word "tohuw" its from an unused root meaning meaning to lie in waste. What happend between verse one and two? It sounds to me like total destruction. Now, let me ask you this question. If God created the heavens and the earth, did he create something that was worthless or a desolate place? I think the answer is no, what God creates is perfect. When we look out at the universe what do we see? We see order, but we also see destruction. We see lifeless worlds, we see asteroid belts. Here on earth we have evidence of massive destruction in Arizona and South America where giant asteroids hit. Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Think on this for a moment. How old is God? He is timeless. What has he been doing the whole while he has been around? I believe he has always been in the mode of creating. So in that sense the earth may be timeless, and yes the dinosaurs they did exist, but not through theistic evolution or evolution as preached by Godless men. Satan wanted to be like God and when he tried to take over the thrown in heaven - because it does state that in Isaiah - Satan was cast out, however he did not go without a fight. Answer this question, what did he do in the garden? He destroyed God's most exalted creation - man - because in all of creation the created was spoke into existence, with man he was created by the hand of God and then God breathed into man the breath of HIS life. All of who God is was breathed into man, that is why woman was taken from man and not created seperately. Satan's revenge on God... he destroyed what God loved. Think about this - The universe has been around since the beginning. When Satan fell he destroyed all that God made. Verse two in Genesis tells us that. In verse two God Re-created JUST earth. Why - I don't know, but I believe it has something to do with proving to Satan just how wrong he was. There's no such thing as theistic evolution. God recreated the earth in SIX days. So now that we've covered the theological part, we'll cover scientific facts.

Darwin stated that complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is relatively young, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin simply brought something new to the old philosophy called natural selection. Yet in the last 50 or so years we now know that there are in fact tens of thousands of irreducibly complex systems on the cellular level. Specified complexity pervades the microscopic biological world. Molecular biologist Michael Denton wrote, "Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10-12 grams, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machinery built by man and absolutely without parallel in the non-living world."

We're dealing with more than biology and the decent of man. We have the appearance of the cosmos with the "Big Bang" Something from nothing came into existence. From that big bang came life and it supposedly over time became more complex, yet when we explore the miniature we find the smaller we go the more complex it becomes. I could believe in evolution if man or animal were self procreating. But just the fact that male and female was created to bring forth life. What are the odds that everything came into existence through chance and fit so perfectly?

I believe that the premise in which evolutionists base their beliefs on are flawed, and here is why I say that H.S. Lipson, a Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester wrote,

"evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it, and many are prepared to 'bend' their observations to fit with it" If, and I say if that is the case doesn't that put those that believe in evolution on the same plane as those that believe in a divine creation?

Every machine (life form) must have a certain number of parts to function. Take away one of those parts and it ceases to be. Even most bacteria require several thousand genes to carry out the function necessary for life. The E.coli has about 4,639,221 nucleotide base pairs which code for 4,288 genes. Chlamydia and Rickettsia are the smallest living things known. Even so these two forms of life still require millions of atomic parts. If I have a good mathematician here I'd have him figure the odds of just these two coming together in just the right sequence.

I think one thing that proves my point is this, when Einstein was working on his theroy of relativity he put in an extra equation because he thought the universe was stable and not expanding, later he found he was wrong. Kind of makes me wonder if all the evidence the evolutionary biologists have put forth may be flawed because somewhere down the line someone miscalculated. The problem for evolution as I see it is caused by the enormous complexity required for life and none of the proposals to overcome it are even remotely satisfactory. If you are not familiar with Dr. Lee M. Spetner, he is a biophysicist, author, and critic of Neo-Darwinism but not against evolution in a more general sense. He received his PhD in physics from MIT in 1950. You need to read his book "Not By Chance! It blows evolution out of the water. Another problem I have is this, that even if all the parts that were needed to create life, these many parts could not just sit around and wait for the other parts to evolve because the existing ones would most likely deteriorate from the effects of dehydration, oxidation, and the action of bacteria or other pathogens. The only way it could have happened is through instanteous creation. In all of my reading I have yet to find any compelling evidence presented to disprove creation, where on the other hand there's a whole lot of evidence to prove creation such as the discovery that most nucleotides degrade fast at the temperatures scientists conclude existed on the earth when it was young. which brings me to the conclusion that the half lives of many of the basic building blocks of life are too short to allow for the adequate accumulation of these compounds. To quote Levy and Miller - Therefore unless the origin of life took place extremely fast, less than a 100 years...a high temperature origin of life cannot involve adenine,

(Adenine is one of the most important organic molecules for life as we know it today is an integral part of DNA, RNA, and ATP. DNA, as you might know, is the genetic code used for cellular life on earth. It is through the precise inheritance of on organism's DNA from its parent that the traits of an organism are passed on.)

Uracil, (a colourless, crystalline organic compound of the pyrimidine family that occurs as a component of ribonucleic acid RNA a molecule involved in the transmission of hereditary characteristics. The RNA molecule consists of a sequence of nucleotides, each containing a five-carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.)
Guanine, (is one of the five main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA; the others being adenine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil. With the formula C5H5N5O, guanine is a derivative of purine, consisting of a fused pyrimidine-imidazole ring system with conjugated double bonds. Being unsaturated, the bicyclic molecule is planar. The guanine nucleoside is called guanosine.)

I think this finding is a setback for abiogenesis, because high temperature origin of life is the only feasible model. Enough said, your response.
