DISMANTLING Atheists’ Top Objections to the Bible | Ken Ham

When I was very young l realized there had to be someone way smarter than us, who created ALL THINGS EVERYWHERE. And l became a born-again Christian at 7 years old. Many moons ago. And l have NEVER regretted it. He's the best thing that ever happened in my life.

[@earthisasphere]

Man, they get them real young now. Kids have a hard time saying no to peer pressure... Noahs flood is geologically impossible. 1) The sodium carbonate needed for even a small single layer of limestone requires centuries or more of build up of shelled creatures and coral. When explaining the Grand Canyon, in your model, that isn't possible. In the actual model we know that the southwest U.S. was once a shallow seabed, so the sodium bicarbonate could build up over time. 2) The limestone in the G. C. also requires calm, shallow waters to form, like.... a shallow seabed. Not the most violent storm the earth would have ever seen. The hydraulic sorting claim YEC's like to peddle doesn't work either, because the water is still to deep and to volatile. 3) There are multiple places where layers of salt are separated by layers of rock. Sea's would have to evaporate, have a layer (or layers) of rock form, and then the area would have to become a sea bed again. A flood can't explain this. 4) Unconformities don't have the time needed to happen on a 6,000 year old earth. 5) The following were rulers of their respected kingdoms during the flood timelime Egypt- Pepi, Akkad - Sargon, Elam - Helu, and the Indus Valley Civ had been around for 1,000 years and continued for another 1,000 years 5) fossils and stratification layers of rock match predictions of evolution 6) Sand dunes don't have time to form 7) certain layers of rock would require forest fires to exists underwater 8) the amount of energy released during such an event would destroy the earth, also know as the heat problem 9) the mud problem 10) Ocean basins have less than a km of sedimentary rock on top, while the continental shelves are over 12 km think with sedimentary rock, a flood of that magnitude and length would have eroded away much more of the continental shelves 11) We have studied the growth rate of coral form a very long time now, and it doesn't grow fast enough to match your timeline - forget a flood, 6,000 years isn't even enough time. Look into the Eniwetok atoll if you want more info 12) evaporates and shales take too long to form 13) the change in salinity levels would kill both freshwater and saltwater fish ,and on and on and on

DNA seem to be held together by a series of sulfur bonds BETWEEN the base pairs (GCAT) that constitute your genetic code. And that these bonds are not randomly placed or evenly placed. But, there’s a sulfur bond, then 10 base pairs , then another sulfur bond, then 5 base pairs, another bond, then 6 base pairs, another bond, then 5 base pairs before the pattern repeats itself. 10-5-6-5-10-5-6-5-10-5-6-5… over and over, holding our DNA together. This means nothing to native English speakers, of course, because we use Latin letters and Arabic numerals. But Hebrew uses letters as their numbers. Aleph is both the first letter of the alephbet, and the first number. The number 10 is a Yohd. 5 is a He. 6 is a Vav (or Waw, if you have an Arabic dialect). 5 again is a He. 10-5-6-5, your DNA held together with God’s signature יהוה over and over.

One very important thing atheist scientists ignore is ... after you have a complex DNA molecule formed by pure chance (miracle), how did it start to self-replicate or synthesise protein? DNA replication, RND synthesis, protein synthesis are processes that require specialised proteins called enzymes. Hence, you not only need DNA to be generated by random chance but also the associated specific enzymes (proteins) to also be in existence. All of it has to also be in a protective cell structure to prevent oxidation. For those who believe in the religion of evolution, they are really going on blind faith... no evidence at all.

[@michaelhoudecki3657]

It's pretty ridiculous when you add up all the things that would need to happen and be true for their fabricated version of history to be the truth. It's pretty obvious that the "everything exploded out of nothing, then became nearly infinitely more complex and ordered than it was" isn't even plausible. Just the first part...

[@DaveGreen-ft2vy]

So tell me again why people should believe the bible to be true?

[@wayneuynhan5624]

@DaveGreen-ft2vy well you will hear many testimonies from people who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ. And the only way you will know is if you take that step of faith and experience and encounter God yourself. All I have done is to help you dispell the false religion of evolution. Then you should naturally deduce that there had to be a creator, God, who crwated space, time and matter and everything in the universe which is so finely tuned. Now who that creator God is, is up to you to discover. God gives everyone a free will to choose. He wants a relationship with us but He will never impose in our free will. Hence, whoever chooses to reject Him, He will honour their choice. In the same way, those who wants a relationship with God, all they need to do is to place their faith in Jesus Christ and repent to receive the free gift of eternal life.

[@DaveGreen-ft2vy]

@wayneuynhan5624 "the only way you will know is if you take that step of faith and experience and encounter god yourself" So the only way to know is based completely on subjective experience? What about all the believers of other religions? Are their subjective experiences invalid? I'm assuming you've genuinely given those other religions a shot. So why are you a Christian and not a Zoroastrian?

[@wayneuynhan5624]

@DaveGreen-ft2vy well there can only be one truth. That is the essence of truth. The saying that all religion leads to God is false because they all contradict each other. Go ahead and study all the religions and you can decide for yourself which path leads to the truth. Jesus said in John 14:6: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." I hope you would study and seek the truth. When you finally seek Jesus, you will find Him...that is His promise. I understand how you may feel because I used to be a skeptical atheist myself and mocked people who believed in God. I am a science graduate and the more I learnt about biology, biochemistry etc, the easier it was for me to see the impossibility of macro-evolution and that nothing produced everything.

We don't have to stop looking, of course. But there's nothing wrong with "I don't know." Unfortunately for theists, "I don't know" doesn't mean "God done it." Throughout history, countless things that used to be thought supernatural have turned out to have a completely natural explanation, after all. That has never _once_ happened in reverse. So far, we are waiting for evidence that _anything_ "supernatural" actually exists in reality. But theists still have their imaginations. Now, _maybe_ a god exists. _Maybe_ it's even the specific god that you were taught to believe as a child. But the time to believe that is _after_ there's good evidence it's actually true.

Hi there. Creation scientists believe in what’s called micro-evolution. You probably already know what I’m talking about, but it’s small changes within a type of animal group. Therefore because the Bible specifically reads 2 of each kind, it’s completely reasonable to have all the variations of animals today from approximately 8,000 different kinds of creatures that were on the ark. I honestly do care about you and definitely don’t want to argue. I suspect there’s very little chance that I could sway your belief regardless of what my answer would be. Likewise, there is zero chance you could sway mine. I get it. Like all walks of life, there can be annoying people that rub you the wrong way. That can hold true for Christians too. Believe me, I know. That being said, I love my annoying brothers and sisters. I really do. Honestly, I used to identify as an atheist. I was raised in the church and was wounded deeply by it in my late teens. I no longer believed in a loving God. Eventually I drifted to a point where I didn’t even like Christians. Then about 16 years later I read a book called “More Than A Carpenter” by Josh McDowell. It’s a great book on historical apologetics, which is simply systematically laying out evidence in support of Christianity. I do have a scientific and mathematically inclined mind. I aced those courses in college. That being said, I didn’t know at the time after reading the book how all the puzzle pieces would fit together; However I did know, through historical apologetics that Jesus is the real deal. Without question, He is the Messiah! My salvation experience was mind blowing. Honestly I could write a book on it. Then shortly after, I discovered scientific apologetics. There are excellent arguments that have been laid out in support of Christianity and demonstrate serious flaws in the evolution theory. I have a library full of them. You typically don’t hear anyone from the mainstream scientific community addressing them either. The arguments do have merit, so scoffing at them and dismissing them is not an appropriate response. Especially if the scientific community considers themselves to be kind, caring people. Why is that? I know why. Anyway, like I said before, I don’t want to argue with you. So I won’t. I hope I didn’t come across like a jerk. I don’t want to be that guy. I suspect you’re an alright person, and if we bumped into each other we’d probably hit it off... I like to make the analogy of an elementary school band performing a loved classical number. They may butcher it, though Beethoven or Mozart were still great. That’s what we as humans in the church sometimes do. That doesn’t mean Jesus isn’t still who He is. I hope my response was helpful and didn’t cause the divide to become worse. You definitely matter to me. I’d like to challenge you to read the book I mentioned and dig deep into the Christian faith to seek the truth. Take care my friend. Sincerely, Jonathan

​@@JonathanS.-in8zi Gonna post it, even if it doesn't change you mind. At least maybe it will let you see how ridiculous you are being. Noahs flood is geologically impossible. 1) The sodium carbonate needed for even a small single layer of limestone requires centuries or more of build up of shelled creatures and coral. When explaining the Grand Canyon, in your model, that isn't possible. In the actual model we know that the southwest U.S. was once a shallow seabed, so the sodium bicarbonate could build up over time. 2) The limestone in the G. C. also requires calm, shallow waters to form, like.... a shallow seabed. Not the most violent storm the earth would have ever seen. The hydraulic sorting claim YEC's like to peddle doesn't work either, because the water is still to deep and to volatile. 3) There are multiple places where layers of salt are separated by layers of rock. Sea's would have to evaporate, have a layer (or layers) of rock form, and then the area would have to become a sea bed again. A flood can't explain this. 4) Unconformities don't have the time needed to happen on a 6,000 year old earth. 5) The following were rulers of their respected kingdoms during the flood timelime Egypt- Pepi, Akkad - Sargon, Elam - Helu, and the Indus Valley Civ had been around for 1,000 years and continued for another 1,000 years 5) fossils and stratification layers of rock match predictions of evolution 6) Sand dunes don't have time to form 7) certain layers of rock would require forest fires to exists underwater 8) the amount of energy released during such an event would destroy the earth, also know as the heat problem 9) the mud problem 10) Ocean basins have less than a km of sedimentary rock on top, while the continental shelves are over 12 km think with sedimentary rock, a flood of that magnitude and length would have eroded away much more of the continental shelves 11) We have studied the growth rate of coral form a very long time now, and it doesn't grow fast enough to match your timeline - forget a flood, 6,000 years isn't even enough time. Look into the Eniwetok atoll if you want more info 12) evaporates and shales take too long to form 13) the change in salinity levels would kill both freshwater and saltwater fish ,and on and on and on

1. DNA is not information, is not a language. Information is abstract, comes from the Latin verb 'informatio' and its meaning is 'shape the mind' or 'teaching' or 'discipline'. When we say 'the DNA contains information' we try to explain with a human concept what the DNA molecule does. It's a way to explain that is able to stimulate the formation of a being, the way organs work and what they do. I'm not a biologist so I will not explain how it works, but one thing I can say: there is no language, no programming code, no sign of an intelligent design (DNA is good but can be corrupted and that's very bad, not very 'intelligent'). 2. From two wolves, or two cats or whatever animal you chose, in less then 2000 years, because of the 'genetic information' (?) a vast variety of species developed. Interesting. So two wolves started walking on a deserted Earth, arrive in a place, they look around and say 'hey, honey, in order to survive here we should be a little different, we should be smaller, and brown, and eat small animals. Let's have a puppy and call it Foxy, OK?'. And you say that evolutionist have a blind faith? 3. From what we know from historical evidence (FACTS), the seven days week originated in Babylon where a moon calendar was used. The moon has four phases (new moon, crescent moon, full moon, waning moon), each phase is about 7 days long (just a small fraction longer), giving a 29.5 days month. The origin of the week is observation, not creation. 4. Carbon dating can be used to date organic material up to 50,000 years old. That's why we must date the rock layer where organic material is buried if older than 50,000 year. There is no contradiction in the dating of the Crinum mine in Australia. The trees were buried by a lava flow 45 million of years ago. As easy as that.

​@facterial Since the discovery of DNA, there has never been a documented case or even alleged case of matter having been observed arranging itself into genetic material. There's no evidence, outside of DNAs existence, that it ever happened. Because it never has happened, you cant quantify the odds of it ever happening let alone the odds of DNA forming in the presence of the exact conditions necessary for a bacterial cell to be emaculately conceived as a result. Applying the scientific method to the theory that it happened by random chance would inevitably yield the result that it didn't, i.e. the null hypothesis would be rejected. If you were to discover in the ground an electronic device full of little circuits and the abstract concepts of 1s and 0s that somehow manifested a moving image of a dog vomiting on a display, you would assume it was designed and produced by an intelligent being, not that it manifested itself through geological processes based on random chance. So we observe biological machines that can't be artificially replicated let alone naturally replicated through random chance that contain organized information that manifests itself in impossibly functional ways and we assume that the machine and the information it contains is the product of random chance. When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras. It seems to me that the blanket rejection of any form of intentionality behind the existence of organized biological information and its manifestation as life on earth is jumping to assuming zebras because someone somewhere arbitrarily decided that the idea of horses is just silly. If something cannot be observed to be possible, then believing it happened is called faith. Why is blind faith in the idea of random probability less silly than faith it was done intentionally?

An empty tomb do not have to involve supernatural events; the body of Jesus might have been moved or never placed in the tomb initially. This could be due to logistical reasons or misunderstandings about the burial location. Even if the empty tomb is acknowledged, it does not necessarily imply a resurrection, natural explanations exist but are unknown due to insufficient evidence, akin to other historical mysteries where supernatural explanations were later debunked. Alternatively, an empty tomb narrative might have been used as a literary device, common in ancient stories, to convey themes of apotheosis or divine intervention. This suggests that the story served a symbolic purpose rather than being a literal historical account.

[@richardgregory3684]

Hello there Joe, Yes. I used to chase that same question until I read that God gave us creation for all the proof we would ever need in Romans 1:20 KJV, as He knew that we would be a creative species, made in His image, born into Adam's. It should make sense to us that a Creator exists just by looking around at the contents of the Earth. Just because we present other ideas to how all life came to be does not disprove a Creator. It just offers another choice. I found myself wondering if I could find verifiable evidence that God does not exist. I still have yet to find this evidence. I do however clearly observe evidence of a Creator in life all around me that is not perfect and eventually dies. Other then that, the only other verifiable proof is personal and unique to each born again Christian. What I and so many others can tell you is that the proof we really needed came after getting saved. You chose Jesus Christ and He will give you what you're looking for. What I have learned is that God wants us to accept Him by faith, just like how we accept other ideas in the world. We have the choice to either choose Him or not. In Genesis 2:17 God tells Adam that if he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil the result of his sin (disobedience) would be death. The Bible also calls out we have two major issues when we are born into Adam's image, sin and death (Romans 5:14 KJV). That is pretty concerning verifiable evidence to me. Would you agree every person to ever walk this earth has faced these two primary issues of sin (Call it what you want, nobody is perfect) and death? What would you consider verifiable proof to you?

He's always just so.. wrong.. he can't even get the basics right when he tries to talk about science. 'scientists say the Big Bang has been proven'. No. No, scientists don't say the Big Bang has been 'proven'. I'm willing to bet there's not a single young Earth creationist in this comment section who can even define the Big Bang model. I'm talking about just a basic description, of course, not looking for the math and all that stuff. Most of them think it was a literal explosion, like a bomb detonating with a bunch of matter flying out from a central point. This is because they don't look past anything but the name, big 'bang'. Most of them probably think it is an atheist concept, not realizing that a Christian physicist first came up with the idea of what he called the primeval atom. I know for a fact that many young Earth creationists also don't realize that a lot of atheists were opposed to the concept because it implies the universe has a beginning rather than existing eternally. They probably also don't realize that the Big Bang model does not describe the very beginning of the observable universe, it only describes what occurred after. They probably aren't aware of the significance of the cosmic microwave background and other data and evidence supporting the model. They are also not aware of the fact that scientists know that there are problems with the Big Bang model, just as there are with many scientific models.

"[The] big bang picture is too firmly grounded in data from every area to be proved invalid in its general features." Lawrence Krauss ~ Ph.D. in physics "The Big Bang theory is a well-established scientific explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe, and it is considered a theory. In scientific terminology, a theory is a well-substantiated explanation for a set of phenomena, based on a large body of evidence and testing. The Big Bang theory is supported by a vast amount of observational evidence from many fields of science, including astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology." ~Groq The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) states on its website: "The Big Bang theory is the leading explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe, based on a wide range of observational evidence from many fields of science." (Source: NASA, "The Big Bang Theory") The American Astronomical Society (AAS) states on its website: "The Big Bang theory is the most widely accepted explanation for the origin and evolution of the universe, based on a large body of observational evidence from many fields of astronomy and astrophysics." (Source: AAS, "The Big Bang Theory") See the thing is: hypothesis, theory conjecture, guess ... ever evolving scientism avoids any god thinking.

The Bible is historically accurate and should be taken literally. It’s the infallible word of God! The day age, and gap theory are garbage. Also, along with whatever other evolutionarily theory you want to throw in there. If you want to try and marry the Bible and evolution together, please explain to me how organic evolution took place? Obviously, that’s a rhetorical question. You can’t, it’s mathematically impossible. Where are all the missing links for macro-evolution? There are none. There was no death before sin. Death entered into the picture after Adam and Eve sinned against God. There weren’t any fossils in the ground before that. I can assure you that fossils don’t take that long to create. I accidentally made one once while doing some landscaping. I dug a large hole and while doing that, I buried a mushroom. Years later when I was using some of the dirt, viola, I had a fossilized mushroom! Also, why do you think God created the trees and all the plants before He created the sun? I think in His omniscient ways, He was aware of the ridiculous arguments that would attempt to undermine the Bible. Creation scientists are not intellectual dummies. They are brilliant and honest at the same time. Everyone has a biased nature. To claim creation scientists are looking at everything in a biased way, and that evolutionary scientists aren’t is flawed thinking. Evolutionary scientists are more biased. Anyway, I could go on for hours shooting holes in evolution. Though Ken Ham is much better at doing it, just watch more of his videos. I’m passionate about the subject because I grew up in the church and asked the questions about cave men and dinosaurs. I received ridiculous answers. Then when I got older and life became difficult and painful, I no longer believed in a loving God. I turned my back on God for almost two decades. Eventually I opened up my heart and gave it to Jesus after reading a book called “More Than a Carpenter” by Josh McDowell. I was saved and have been passionate about apologetics ever since. Telling any young person that there is no issue between evolution and the Bible is a terrible idea! After all, are you aware of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:6? I don’t want that for you or anyone. Neither does Jesus. He died for you and me to settle our debt. I care about you, and if I came across a little harsh, I apologize. Take care.

I am an Old World Creationist, and quite firm in my faith in Christ. But I am giving young earth a solid look. The main thing you got a little wrong here, is you addressed the Gap theory between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, and then hand waved it. Origen, Alexander of Clement, St. Augustine, and others all had some from of gap theory, or longer days. They did not get to billions of years old, but they got to 10,000 or more. But this was all before Science, which may still be off, proposed the Earth was much older. It was not some resent theory, but church leaders were discussing Gap theory at least around AD 200 or so, if not before. I also think you can take a 100% serious, look at genesis if it is not 100% literal. You seem to claim if we do not take it as 100% literal, we are opening ourselves up to gender and sexual sins. Which are a problem in this current world, but not to people who take Genesis, and the Bible seriously. I think taking it seriously may be more important than literally...at least close enough we should be able to unite against the secular world. Maybe we can fight it out after we win over the outside world. I just know for a long time young earth was a stumbling block for me, which old earth fixed, I may move to young earth over time, but I found peace where I am, and I think that is key. The secular world seems to not have peace, I was there, I experienced it, but now I have more peace. Not fully, but I don't think young earth is the fix, more time in scripture, trusting in Christ is the fix. Though I will change if it is correct, I just don't think it should be a condition, anymore than I thing you believing in and old earth would change your faith any.

Hi, Ken, You can actually prove Both the Apostle Paul's and Jesus' Disciple John's beliefs that Jesus was the God of the Old Testament Israel. John 1:1-18 shows John believed Jesus was God and that He existed with the God the Father, From the beginning. The Dialogue in John 8:12-58 between Jesus and the Jews of his day shows clearly that Jesus was the Immortal King and High Priest that the bible names as Melchizedek that the Apostle Paul was writing about in Hebrews 7:1-7 The Jews asked Jesus straight out in that Dialogue - Exactly Who He thought He was in John 8:53. Jesus' answer seems to be an indirect or even a direct reference to Exodus 3:13-15 as follows: "Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?" "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." [John 8:56-58 KJV] Although the King James translators didn't capitalise the last two words in verse 58 above Clearly Jesus was saying He existed Before Abraham and interestingly the KJV translators Did Capitalize I Am in Exodus 3:13-15 It's most likely that the Jews wanted to Stone Him there and then For claiming to BE their God in effect as verse 59 shows. Exodus 3:13-15 reads as you likely know - as follows: " And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." Jesus also seemingly made what would seem to be an enigmatic statement that No man has Ever Heard the Father's Voice or seen the Father at any time [John 1:18,5:37] and Yet Exodus 13:18-23 Shows that Moses did both. "No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." [John 1:18 KJV] "And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape." [John 5:37 KJV] Although we may not have Proof God the Father Exists apart from Jesus Revealing the Father - We Do have absolute Proof that Jesus WAS the God of Israel and Zechariah's Lord God that will Descend to the Mount of Olives To take up His rule from His Throne[Ezekiel 43:1-7] On Mount Zion [Micah 4:1-3&7-8, Joel 3:9-21, Revelation 14:1] as Zechariah 14:1-9 Shows clearly. Zechariah 2:10-3:10 and Zechariah 11:10-13 show events that Occurred at Jesus' Crucifixion Trial period [i.e. Testing by Satan, The 'fair Mitre' or Crown of Thorns and The Change of Clothes/Purple robe placed on Him [Matthew 27:9, Mark 15:17& John 19:2] around 500 years before Jesus was born or the New Testament was even written and That God Ended the Old Covenant Which was a marriage Agreement between God and His Israelite Peoples - BY HIS DEATH: The 'Thirty Pieces of Silver' prophecy in Zechariah 11:10-13 is absolute proof Jesus was Zechariah's Lord God - because it was fulfilled Perfectly as Matthew 26:15 & 27:3-10 shows - By Judas Iscariot and the Chief Priests of Jesus Day - Valuing Jesus for EXACTLY thirty pieces of Silver: "And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I MIGHT BREAK MY COVENANT which I had made with all the people. And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the Lord. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give ME MY PRICE; and if not, forbear. So THEY WEIGHED FOR MY PRICE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER. And THE LORD SAID UNTO ME, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I WAS PRISED AT OF THEM. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord." The Angel in Revelation 19:10 Basically proclaimed that The Spirit of Prophecy is the Proof or Testimony of Jesus being God and so it is and so it will be proven to be so in the prophetic years to come in our not too distant future seemingly. 🙃 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

God doesn't need DNA. God doesn't need anything. The God that can "speak" the universe into existence doesn't need to make sense. In fact, if God does need to correspond to some plan, that means God is not omnipotent. God doesn't need a " fine-tuned" universe, doesn't need any genetics, in fact doesn't need anything to accomplish whatever God wants to accomplish. All of this "evidence" you point to really is just a reflection of your own lack of faith.

[@BE_WERM]

Well now, you’ve got a colorful way of looking at things, I’ll give you that. But let’s dive into this a bit, shall we? You’re right God doesn’t need DNA to explain His creation. He doesn’t need anything to accomplish His will. But let’s not confuse what God doesn’t need with what He chooses to use. God’s omnipotence doesn’t mean He’s boundless in a chaotic sense; it means He’s all powerful, but also purposeful. He chose a specific way to create life, and DNA is part of that. It’s not a limitation on Him; it’s a reflection of His intricate design. See, DNA is like a language-a code-written with such precision that it blows the mind. Think about this: within every cell in your body, there’s a blueprint that determines what makes you, you. That’s not random. DNA is information, and information always points to intelligence. Codes don’t write themselves, and they don’t just randomly appear. If you walked into a room and saw words neatly written on a page, you wouldn’t assume the ink just spilled that way, right? No, you’d know someone put it there intentionally. DNA’s complexity points not just to a Creator, but to a Creator who is beyond brilliant. It’s like He’s saying, “I’ve woven My wisdom and power into every fiber of your being.” God, in His omnipotence, could’ve created us any way He wanted, but He chose DNA as part of His masterpiece. The fact that He did it with such complexity, beauty, and order speaks volumes about His character. Now, you say God doesn’t need a plan or a fine-tuned universe and sure, He could’ve made things differently. But He didn’t. He chose to create a universe that’s finely tuned for life. That’s not a reflection of a lack of power, but rather a testament to His care and intentionality. The precision of the universe, the laws of physics, the genetic code, it all works together in perfect harmony. Why? Because God is a God of order, not chaos. He’s not randomly throwing things into existence; He’s crafting a universe that reflects His glory, His wisdom, and His love for us. And here’s the thing about faith it’s not blind. God doesn’t ask us to check our brains at the door. He’s given us minds to think, to reason, and yes, to see His handiwork in the world around us. Romans 1:20 says that since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities-His eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. In other words, creation itself is shouting, “There’s a Creator!” But here’s where we get down to it: none of this is about DNA, or fine tuning, or even our ability to comprehend the universe. It’s about the heart of the Gospel, the good news that Jesus Christ came to save us. God’s creation is one way He reveals Himself to us, but His ultimate revelation is in Jesus. Through Christ, we don’t just get a glimpse of God’s power; we get to know His love, His grace, and His plan for our redemption. That’s what it’s all about. So, don’t get bogged down in whether God needs anything. Instead, focus on what God chose to do. He chose to create a universe that points to Him. He chose to design you with purpose. And most importantly, He chose to send His Son, Jesus, to rescue you and bring you back to Him. That’s the evidence of God’s love and power-the kind that not only creates life but also redeems it.

[@BE_WERM]

@@Theo_Skeptomai you’ve hit me with the classic question! “Have you ever observed this ‘God’?” It’s like asking me if I’ve ever seen the wind. No, I haven’t seen the wind, but I’ve sure felt its power, watched it bend trees, and known when it’s been blowing through my life. Same thing with God. Can’t see Him directly, but the evidence of His work? Oh, that’s all around us, like fingerprints left on everything He touches. Take DNA for instance, it’s like God’s signature written in the code of life. You ever really thought about that? DNA isn’t just a bunch of random molecules bumping into each other and forming you by accident. It’s a code-a language made up of four letters (A, T, C, G) that somehow tells your cells how to build your body. A language like that doesn’t just come from nowhere. Languages need writers, and codes need coders. So, what do we have here? We’ve got a masterpiece of design that’s got the touch of a Master behind it. Look at it like this: you’ve got DNA, a code so complex, we’re still trying to figure out all its layers. Now, if I handed you a book full of intricate code, you wouldn’t think it just wrote itself, would you? You’d know someone with some serious smarts sat down and put that together. Same thing with DNA. That’s God’s handiwork right there, and it’s more than just some vague idea, it’s a blueprint of life itself. But here’s where it gets real interesting: DNA isn’t just about mechanics and molecules. It’s about purpose. Just like God crafted the physical world with precision, He designed us with a spiritual purpose. He didn’t just stop at the science; He gave us a soul, something deeper than any code. And you know what that soul craves? It craves Him. That’s why we’re restless, searching for meaning in everything from relationships to careers to philosophies. That hole in our hearts can only be filled by the One who made us. So, back to your question, have I observed God? Every time I see a newborn baby, I see God. Every time I watch the stars and galaxies spin in perfect order, I see God. And every time I look at the cross, I see God in His most loving form, pouring Himself out for us through Jesus Christ. The real question isn’t whether I’ve seen God; it’s whether you’re willing to see Him. Because He’s been revealing Himself in every sunrise, in the complexity of DNA, and in the whisper of your own heart. And the pinnacle of that revelation? Jesus Christ. God Himself stepped into time and space, not just to show us His power, but to save us from the mess we’ve made. So if you’re looking for direct observation, you won’t find God in a petri dish. But you will find Him in the intricate design of life and in the sacrificial love of Jesus. He’s not a distant Creator, He’s a loving Father, calling you to see the truth of His creation and the even greater truth of His salvation plan. That’s the Gospel, my friend. You were made with purpose, you were loved enough to be redeemed, and you’re invited into a relationship with the God

Ham the scam

[@JonathanS.-in8zi]

The Bible is historically accurate and should be taken literally. It’s the infallible word of God! The day age, and gap theory are garbage. Also, along with whatever other evolutionarily theory you want to throw in there. If you want to try and marry the Bible and evolution together, please explain to me how organic evolution took place? Obviously, that’s a rhetorical question. You can’t, it’s mathematically impossible. Where are all the missing links for macro-evolution? There are none. There was no death before sin. Death entered into the picture after Adam and Eve sinned against God. There weren’t any fossils in the ground before that. I can assure you that fossils don’t take that long to create. I accidentally made one once while doing some landscaping. I dug a large hole and while doing that, I buried a mushroom. Years later when I was using some of the dirt, viola, I had a fossilized mushroom! Also, why do you think God created the trees and all the plants before He created the sun? I think in His omniscient ways, He was aware of the ridiculous arguments that would attempt to undermine the Bible. Creation scientists are not intellectual dummies. They are brilliant and honest at the same time. Everyone has a biased nature. To claim creation scientists are looking at everything in a biased way, and that evolutionary scientists aren’t is flawed thinking. Evolutionary scientists are more biased. Anyway, I could go on for hours shooting holes in evolution. Though Ken Ham is much better at doing it, just watch more of his videos. I’m passionate about the subject because I grew up in the church and asked the questions about cave men and dinosaurs. I received ridiculous answers. Then when I got older and life became difficult and painful, I no longer believed in a loving God. I turned my back on God for almost two decades. Eventually I opened up my heart and gave it to Jesus after reading a book called “More Than a Carpenter” by Josh McDowell. I was saved and have been passionate about apologetics ever since. Telling any young person that there is no issue between evolution and the Bible is a terrible idea! After all, are you aware of what Jesus said in Matthew 18:6? I don’t want that for you or anyone. Neither does Jesus. He died for you and me to settle our debt. I care about you, and if I came across a little harsh, I apologize. Take care.

One thing I found illogical about Christianity is, in the Bible it says people knew God before Jesus was born so they knew of Genesis and God at the time that people spread out over the world (tower of Babel). How come people like American indigenous Indians, Australian Aboriginals, the different tribes in Africa, etc. didn't have any trace of Genesis and God in their stories of the past. They had to be told by the missionaries otherwise today they would still be ignorant of this. By the way this also applies to other religions. It just doesn;t make sense.
