The Origin Of Man

• HumansHuman Ancestors--Human Ancestors-
• Created by an intelligent designer
  
• HumansHuman Ancestors---Non-Human Ancestors-
• Created by an intelligent designer
• Human--Human Ancestors--Human Ancestors-
• Human Ancestors
• HumanHuman Ancestors-Non-Human Ancestors-
• Life from non-living matter by chance

Creation Verses Evolution

• Hebrews 113
• By faith we understand that the worlds were
  framed by the word of God, so that the things
  which are seen were not made of things which are
  visible.

5
Creation Verses Evolution

• There is a theory which states that living
  animals can be observed over the course of time
  to undergo changes so that new species are
  formed. This can be called the Special Theory of
  Evolution and can be demonstrated in certain
  cases by experiments.

6
Creation Verses Evolution

• On the other hand there is the theory that all
  the living forms in the world have arisen from a
  single source which itself came from an inorganic
  form. This theory can be called the General
  theory of Evolution
• (Implication of Evolution, G.A. Kerkut)

Creation Or The General Theory Of Evolution

• Genesis 11
• In the beginning God created the heavens and the
  earth.

9
The Facts Of Cellular Biology

• The principal steps en route to the origin of
  life as envisioned by evolutionary theory, are
• (1) The existence of the right primitive
  atmosphere
• (2) A concentration in the oceans of an organic
  soup of simple molecules necessary for life
• (3) From these come proteins and nucleotides
  (complex chemical compounds) that
• (4) combine and acquire a membrane, and
  thereafter
• (5) they develop a genetic code and start making
  copies of themselves.

10
Critical Components of Life

• Structural Materials
• Tools and Machinery
• Blueprints

• Proteins-(assembly from amino acids)
• Enzymes-(special forms of proteins)
• Genes-Nucleic Acids (DNA and RNA)

1. The Right Primitive Atmosphere

• The theoretical chances of getting through even
  this first and relatively easy stage getting
  amino acids in the evolution of life are
  forbidding.
• (Francis Hitching, The Neck of The Giraffe, p.65)

16
1. The Right Primitive Atmosphere

• With oxygen in the air, the first amino acid
  would never have got started without oxygen, it
  would have been wiped out by cosmic rays.
• (Francis Hitching, The Neck of the Giraffe, p.65)

17
1. The Right Primitive Atmosphere

• What we have then is a sort of Catch 22
  situation. If we have oxygen we have no organic
  compounds, but if we dont have oxygen we have
  none either.
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  p.262)

18
2. The Organic Soup In The Oceans

• Beneath the surface of the water there would not
  be enough energy to activate further chemical
  reactions water in any case inhibits the growth
  of more complex molecules.
• (Francis Hitching, The Neck of the Giraffe, p.65)

19
2. The Organic Soup In The Oceans

• It is therefore hard to see how polymerization
  linking together smaller molecules to form
  bigger ones could have proceeded in the aqueous
  environment of the primitive ocean, since the
  presence of water favors depolymerization
  breaking up big molecules into simpler ones
  rather than polymerization.
• (Richard Dickerson, Chemical Evolution and the
  Origin of Life, p.15)

20
2. The Organic Soup In The Oceans

• Spontaneous dissolution is much more probable,
  and hence proceeds much more rapidly, than
  spontaneous synthesis, This is the most
  stubborn problem that confronts us
  (evolutionists).
• (George Wald, Scientific American, The Origin
  of Life, August, 1954, pp.49-50)

21
3. The Formation Of Proteins and Nucleotides By
Chance

• The function of a protein depends on it being
  very accurately manufactured and possessing exact
  highly specific configuration the change of one
  amino acid in one protein can cause massive
  distortion of the entire cytoarchitecture of the
  cell.
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  pp.265-266)

3. The Formation of Proteins and Nucleotides By
Chance

• If one is not prejudiced either by social
  beliefs or by a scientific training into the
  conviction that life originated spontaneously on
  the Earth, this simple calculation, the
  mathematical odds against it, wipes the idea
  entirely out of court. (Fred Hoyle, Evolution
  From Space)

24
3. The Formation of Proteins and Nucleotides By
Chance

• Twelve letter words such as construction or
  unreasonable are so rare that they occur only
  once by chance in strings of letters (10)14th
  units long as the about (10)14th minutes in one
  thousand million years one can imagine how long a
  monkey at a typewriter would take to type out by
  chance one English word twelve letters long.
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  pp. 309-310)

3. The Formation of Proteins and Nucleotides By
Chance

• The impossibility of gradual functional
  transformation is virtually self-evident in the
  case of proteins
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  p.321)

27
The Facts Of Cellular Biology

• The trouble is that there are about two thousand
  enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in
  a random trial is only one part in (10)20th x
  2000(10)40000th an outrageously small
  probability that could not be faced even if the
  whole universe consisted of organic soup.
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  p.24)

28
Interdependency Between The Parts of A Cell

• The information for the specification of all the
  protein components of the cell, including those
  of the protein synthetic apparatus, is stored in
  the DNA. However, the extraction of this
  information is dependent on the proteins of the
  protein synthetic apparatus-yet again another set
  of interdependent cycles.
• (Michael Denton, Evolution A Theory In Crisis,
  p. 269)

Interdependence Of Proteins And DNA

• DNA, RNA and proteins work this way
• 1) Replication--DNA duplication requires enzymes
  (functional protein).
• 2) Transcription--RNA needs the DNA instructions
  for assembling proteins.
• 3) Translation--the manufacture of proteins
  requires RNA for instructions and a supply of
  amino acids it requires ribosomes (structural
  protein) to follow the instructions.
