Intelligent Design and Biblical Scripture

Guest Writer, Dr. Caroline Leaf

The deeper you think the more intelligent you become. This is a scriptural and scientific truth: scripturally we are told throughout the Bible (see Proverbs specifically) to get knowledge, understanding and wisdom; scientifically the deeper you think the more thoughts and memories you will grow inside your brain. This means we are not designed to skim the surface of things, but rather to think things through, to read deeply, to understand and build strong memories.

The deep pursuit of knowledge increases not only our intelligence but also our health. In fact, recent research has shown that better health is another good reason for getting a degree. According to one study led by Dr Walsemann, attaining a degree after 25 years of age is associated with better midlife health and fewer depressive symptoms. About 38% of US citizens attain their highest degree after their mid twenties. Because of the economic downturn more and more people are going back to college later in life to enhance their opportunities for employment or to change career fields. This is good step in the right direction of improving mental and physical health!

And, while we are on the topic of developing our intelligence, let’s talk about the other end of the spectrum…getting our children to read books! Research shows that books in the home are an important factor in determining a child’s education level. In fact, according to a 20-year study done at the University of Nevada, parents who have books in their home increase the level of education their children will attain. They found that having a 500-book library (even with illiterate parents) could propel a child 3.2 years, and sometimes as much as 6 years, further in education on average. And it doesn’t have to be 500 books; the researchers found that having as few as 20 books in the home still has significant impact. My own four children have been exposed to books since they were infants. I would take them to the library from the age of 4 months in order to ingrain a love of reading in them…even if they only sat on the books at first! They are all in their late teens now and to say that they love reading would be a great understatement. The first piece of advice I gave any parent in my private practice, and the piece of advice I would still give to anyone who asked me how to help advance their children’s education, is read read read…and read some more!

Christian clubs are now denied recognition on the nations largest university campus because these clubs discriminate based on beliefs. This development alarms me, and I can imagine it alarms you, too. The pace of cultural change is accelerating.

Whats good about an alarm is that it signals a time to wake up. I believe God is sending a message, loud and clear, to the church in America. Weve taken our freedom for granted, and perhaps more to the point, weve taken our influence for granted. To paraphrase Dr. Francis Schaeffer, how shall we now live?

Its time to apply our God-given creativity, energy, and resources to pursue our mission of loving people into the kingdom of Truth and Life. Loving means engaging secular culture in a gentle, respectful way. And one of the ways you can do that is with a gift to support the ministry of Reasons to Believe today.

Your support allows RTB to develop and disseminate unique tools that break through skeptics barriers and equip believers for evangelism. Because of your partnership, the Gospel is advancing right now, even amid bleak circumstances. Thanks to technology, we are crossing borders within America and around the world!

To show the reach of your support, I want to share this Facebook message from a young friend in Libya:

Im a Christian convert from Libya. Im just here to say thank you very much for all you do for the Glory of the true and living God in a logical, sensible manner, with reason and fact. Your debates with atheist scientists (whom I sympathize with because I was an atheist myself after leaving Islam) helped me come to know God….Your debate with Victor Stenger, your argument with Ken Ham, and finally your website (for which I have a tremendous amount of appreciation with all its real, factual, scientific evidence) led me to believe in the account of the Bible. And I started to look at the world from a totally different point of view. This newfound faith changed me in every aspect of my life. Glad to say that Ive been a Christian for almost two years now, thanks to you…

As we rejoice with this young man, were also thrilled to share that RTB will join, this month, in a media partnership with TWR, the largest Christian communications network in the world. Through a global platform called TWR360, millions of people will be exposed to RTBs teaching for the first time! Think of how many, like this young man in Libya, will find their lives changed. Now we can reach into the heart of some of the worlds most troubled places—where missionaries cant set foot—with a clear and credible exposition of truth!

RTBs evangelistic approach, which links the book of nature with the book of Scripture to show that Christ is both our Creator and Savior, carries a profound impact, especially in circles of influence. This opportunity to spread our message more widely is a challenge we gladly embrace. Only with our donors help can we continue producing content, not only for TWR, but for all our outreach endeavors.

Only during the last few decades have scientists recognized the many mass extinction and speciation events throughout life’s history. Psalm 104:29–30, however, described these events thousands of years ago:

When you [God] hide your face, they [Earth’s creatures] are terrified. When you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth.

Earth’s organisms have experienced several catastrophic upheavals. The Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event (TJEE) is the second greatest mass extinction event on record. It eliminated more than 95 percent of terrestrial megaflora species,1 plus all the animal species dependent upon these plants. For continental organisms it was at least as devastating as the Permian-Triassic event,2 which wiped out over 70 percent of land species.3

The TJEE is the only mass extinction event in deep time for which an accurate absolute date exists because the strata containing the fossils and footprints of creatures living just before and just after the TJEE shows both the cyclic variations in Earth’s orbit and several reversals in Earth’s magnetic field. Thus, geophysicists have established that the TJEE occurred 201.564±0.015 million years ago.4

Despite the destruction caused by the TJEE, the mass speciation that followed was surprisingly quick and robust. Within 10,000 years or less large theropod dinosaurs appeared,5 and in less than 100,000 years dinosaur species diversity attained a stable maximum.6 Especially astounding is not just the body size and complexity of the new species but the fact that they appeared amid hostile environmental conditions. The TJEE coincided with the first and greatest of the four volcanic eruptions that formed the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province.7 These eruptions poured out 2–3 million cubic kilometers of lava—enough to pave Earth’s entire surface 4–6 meters (13–26 feet) deep. The first eruption had hardly subsided when the first large theropod dinosaurs appeared. And the dinosaur species diversity reached a stable maximum while climate changes were still extreme.8

Mass Speciation Reflects the Creator and Challenges Evolution

The rapidity and diversity with which large dinosaurs appeared fits what one would expect from the actions of a Creator intent on taking advantage of shallow seas, lakes, and swamps resulting from the breaking up of the Pangaea supercontinent. It is consistent, too, with the Creator’s desire to endow Earth with all the necessary resources humans would need to fulfill His purposes.

However, the short time between the TJEE and the Jurassic speciation is far too brief to allow for a naturalistic explanation. Long-term evolution experiments performed in real time show that even under extreme laboratory pressure the most evolutionally flexible species experience nothing more than microevolution.9 Evolutionists responded with the suggestion that a few small-bodied reptiles survived the TJEE and, due to the hostile conditions and lack of competing species, rapidly evolved into a huge population of diverse, complex, large-bodied dinosaurs.10 Conservation biology research refutes this hypothesis.

Rapid and extreme climate change, which characterized the TJEE, stymies evolutionary development. An experiment performed on tiny crustaceans with a reputation for evolvability demonstrated that their rate of evolution (assisted by guided selective breeding) was unable to keep pace with even a modest change in average temperature.11

Numerous studies also confirm that when an animal species suffers a population collapse and faces environmental stress, it rapidly goes extinct without human intervention.12 Furthermore, the extinction risk and the speed with which extinction occurs rises dramatically with adult body mass.13

God’s Purposes for Extinction and Speciation

Why did God wipe out and replace life so frequently? For one thing, these mass creation events perfectly compensated for the Sun’s increasing luminosity by producing new life-forms that could draw more greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere. Another reason is keeping Earth packed with the greatest possible biomass, biodiversity, and biocomplexity. This ensures that humans have all the biodeposits they need to launch and sustain global high-technology civilization—which allows Christ’s followers to fulfill the Great Commission in the shortest time possible.

From Bob Miller:

lf one believes unequivocally that God created our universe, why would one even consider, no less research and study, scientific explanations for the origins of the universe or alternative ideas such as its not having a beginning?

****

Science is possible only because our universe is an orderly place governed by natural laws, which—when properly understood—are predictive and reproducible. This understanding of the universe had its genesis in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, as can be seen by contrasting the early pagan worldview with the Judeo-Christian worldview.

The early pagans, including the Greeks and Romans, believed the world was ruled by irrational gods with human characteristics like spite and jealousy. Some cultures even believed there was a demigod associated with every rock and tree. Such a world was a terrifying place; people felt they had to pray or sacrifice continually to appease capricious deities. Although Aristotle is credited with the first systematic formulation of science, he did not tempt nature; he “didn’t do silly experiments, but proved truth with impeccable logic.”1 Yet Aristotle’s logic failed to pass muster when the scientific method based on experimentation was developed; and we do not believe it was an accident that this development coincided with the Protestant Reformation.

By contrast, the Bible claims God created the universe and “fixed laws” govern the cosmos (Jeremiah 33:25, NET). Genesis 1 illustrates how God created the universe and life in a structured, systematic, logical, progressive manner. And knowing that the universe is orderly and predictable is the first step in exploring natural law—or doing science.

Some psychologists claim humans have a “science-fostering intelligence,”2 an innate curiosity about the world around them. If so, its first evidence was in the Garden of Eden, when God awakened Adam’s curiosity by bringing animals to him and instructing him to name them (Genesis 2:19–20, NASB).

But the essence of your question is why would a Christian—a person who believes in a personal creator-God who “works for the good of those who love him” (Romans 8:28, NIV)—bother to investigate the natural world? The answer may be found in Genesis 1:27–28 (NASB):

God created man in His own image…male and female He created them….And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over…every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God designed humans to be His agents on Earth by acting on His behalf to make a “very good” world better. Those who believe in the Judeo-Christian God pursue science—including cosmology—to learn more about our creator-God and to follow his command to make the world a better place. Among countless examples, Jesuit priest and scientist Georges Lemaître (1894–1966) first proposed the expansion of the universe, which validated the biblical description of the cosmos (see Isaiah 40:22) and was key to big bang cosmology. And it was a devout Christian, Michael Faraday (1791–1867), who doggedly pursued the discovery of electromagnetism guided by Romans 1:20 (NIV):3

For 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.

We believe secular scientists follow this same innate, God-given desire—even though they may not recognize its source.

God is love; the most important scripture in the bible. We can receive God’s Love through His Son, Jesus. The mind and the world works on love because love is among other things the potential of all that is good. The mind is govern by potentials. The physics tool of quantum mechanics can map one’s thoughts by observing with magnetic resonance imagery. Signs of love can be observed but not the totality because love is infinite just as God is infinite.

All of the scripture’s scenarios are alive and operating as a potentiality in our minds. The inspired Word of God is a convergence, attracting force unto harmony and truth; at which God’s love can be felt in such a peaceful state.

Love is well known as an attractive force, but love can reject things that are not of love’s spirit. Love can deny doubt. Love confirms that God is real, and God can be felt in our minds. Seeking God’s presence reaps much fruit. Greed and deception is repelled by the spirit of love, allowing for the blessings of things and expressions of God’s Love Who gives life to the soul.

God extends His hand unto the people continually without stopping. God desires that we all receive the full charge of His love. The major portion of God’s love is sent by way of His Son, Jesus Who is the max.

The Lord’s prayer is man asking for God to send His Love to us:

Matthew chapter 6:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Every scripture is about God sending His Love to each of us. Surely, Angels are about us doing whatever is needed to allow us to receive God’s Love.

“Houston, we’ve had a problem.”

Commander Jim Lovell’s famous, though often misquoted,1 words mark the epic struggle of the disabled Apollo 13 mission, called a “successful failure” because while the three-man crew never reached the Moon, they did return to Earth safe and sound.

Following his now-iconic statement, Lovell described their situation to NASA’s ground control, “We’ve had a MAIN B BUS UNDERVOLT.”2 In electrical jargon, “bus” is short for “bus bar,” a large metal conductor that receives power from electrical sources and serves as a distribution point to individual devices or circuits. The circuit breaker panel in your house is also an electrical bus.

Losing power at home does not typically lead to catastrophic results, but when you’re on the way to the Moon you want significant redundancy so that you have multiple power sources and even multiple distribution mechanisms (see figure 1). As Commander Lovell observed, one of the two main electrical distribution systems aboard Odyssey (Apollo 13’s Command Module) showed decreasing amperage. Later the astronauts saw the same thing happen in Main Bus A.

Figure 1. A simplified schematic of the type of power supply redundancy needed on a spacecraft

The Human Body’s Redundant “Power” Distribution System

Obviously, a good engineer will take the need for redundant power distribution into account. We see evidence of such thoughtful design in our own bodies.

In the human body, the heart serves as the single power source and the blood stream that delivers oxygen and glucose represents power itself. Serving as our bus bar is the aorta. Just like the electrical box in your home, this vessel feeds the body indirectly via the major arteries that arise from it. Of all the places to which blood is delivered, the brain is likely the most important. But where is the redundancy in the delivery of such important support to the brain? Fortunately, we have an auxiliary blood bus in the form of the cerebral arterial circle, also known as the Circle of Willis (CW), named after English physician Thomas Willis (see figure 2).

Figure 2. A typical anatomical illustration of the Circle of Willis
Image credit: Gray’s Anatomy, available at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gray519.png

This feature is a ring-shaped artery at the base of the brain. It receives blood from the heart through the aorta by four pathways. The arteries that feed the CW are the left and right internal carotid arteries and the left and right vertebral arteries (the latter two join just prior to the CW in a single large caliber artery called the basilar artery). The CW then serves as a pressurized blood reservoir from which arise several bilateral (left and right) arteries that deliver blood to the brain. These include the posterior cerebral, middle cerebral, and anterior cerebral arteries, plus their many branches. The basilar artery itself, which connects directly to the CW, also delivers blood bilaterally (left and right) to the anterior inferior cerebellar arteries, the labyrinthine (internal acoustic) arteries, several basilar and pontine arteries, and the superior cerebellar arteries (see figure 3).

Figure 3. This schematic demonstrates the network of arteries supplying the brain with blood. Note that the crossing lines do not represent intersections.
Image credit: Eddy del Rio

As you can see, there are many redundant routes for delivering blood to our most important “device.” Engineers will immediately appreciate the design aspects. And just as the design of an Apollo Command Module’s power distribution system demonstrated intelligence and forethought, I’d argue that so too does the cerebral arterial circle!

We live in a fallen world, and it know not the truth. With rigid scrutiny all and everything in the world is imperfect. We put facts and precepts together to derive a concept, and all are imperfect; therefore deriving an imperfect concept. the resultant being liken unto a mosaic pattern with cracks between each applied fact or precept.

God has already sent the truth into the world by His Son, Jesus. This is The Whole Truth without any cracks or corruption of any form. God requires perfection, and His truth is the only perfect truth which is from above only.

God created the world in an orderly manner. As scientist discover how things work they are actually discovering what always existed from the creation of the world. I can comfortably state that the Potentiality of God imposing on things in the world, gives our laws or principles. God is timeless; therefore, God has and is imposing without change. I can represent using an equation of a metaphysical nature, UspaceVspace=(QV); Uspace being the Righteousness of God and Vspace is the potentiality of all the nexus in the world. The equation is an existence equation stating that All has been determined by God already; there is nothing new under the sun. If (UspaceVspace)2, than (QV)2 is uniquely the resultant in the existence equation of UspaceVspace=(QV) with QV(Qua Variance: states and repeating states) being accrued knowledge. The more accrued knowledge of invisible principles the more of a chance of recognizing God’s truth, and repent and accept God’s Truth. Thereby, putting the person in the vane of the whole Truth (Uspace).

Receiving of God’s Truth confirms the existence of God the Father, God the Son, and God’s Holy Spirit. You know! One only have to receive precept after precept as needed for temporary help with the goal of living in God’s Kingdom forthcoming. One must receive from above through the Grace of God, and not by works of the person. God is perfect, and we must be perfected through the blood of Christ.

Naturalism, the view that nature can explain everything, even its own existence, is a prevailing sentiment in our culture. Who will offer a credible challenge to this notion? This is no time for shrinking back. God invites us to step up and do something. Too many people turn away from Christ because they dont have solid answers to skeptics bold claims. Todays Goliath calls for a David. Thats where you and I come in.

You and I are called to stand in Davids place. Will we respond as David did? He faced the taunting giant, in total reliance on the Lord, with stones in his hand and a well-practiced sling!

What you and I need are some polished stones from the river of biblical truth, prayerfully aimed at the reasons for disbelief in Christ. That’s why Im thrilled to announce the re-release of Origins of Life—now including dozens of links to the latest research. This book makes a solid case for our Creators purposeful involvement in assembling life.

Its because of generous support from friends like you that we have been able to bring Origins of Life back into print! To express our appreciation, Im excited to offer it to you for your gift today in any amount, a gift that will enable us to continue bringing you and others powerful resources.

God has already used this book to impact both scientists and non-scientists. Molecular biologist Russell Carlson says it show[s] the impossibility of an exclusively naturalistic accounting of the origins of life on our planet. Astronomer William Keel comments, The book is as rich as the nonexistent primordial soup was supposed to be! Such feedback from peer reviewers helps demonstrate the solidity of this stone.

Will you help us fight today’s Goliath with your generous gift today? Together, in the Lords strength and for His names sake, we can and will continue to equip you with new reasons for our hope in Christ. We can step up, as David did, when our moment comes. Be sure to request your copy of Origins of Life as a gift with your donation today!

DEMOCRATS have an uphill struggle during the midterm elections. For the hourly working class there should be no reservations about voting for the Democratic tickets. The genius of republican propaganda is to convince people to vote against their wallets or family purses while insuring the movement of money up into the hands of the rich.

Take for example Obamacare; they have the middle class convinced that even free medicare is bad because it is socialistic. Think, all or most actions of the government that help citizens be relieved of excessive burdens is socialistic. Government’s purpose is the welfare of the citizens. What more serves that purpose than medical care for the citizens.

They have convinced most people that raising the minimum wages would cause jobs and the closing of many businesses. This is a crock of crap. Business always trim employee numbers if it would increase profits. If hiring more employees would increase profits, than they hire more employees; it’s just that simple. The economy always has determined the number of jobs. Your employer is not your benevolent friend who helps you beyond your employment contract. Don’t let that smile and pat on the back make you think otherwise. JOIN A LABOR UNION.

Republicans have convinced most of the middle class that labor unions are bad. The truth is labor unions has always produced higher wages for the hourly working class who is predominately the middle class. In actuality, labor unions pay for themselves even when considering the cost of fees. Without collective bargaining power wages and benefits shall continue to stagnate while the rich becomes richer.

All political motives of the Republicans are those which move money upward toward the top profiteers. They shall never contradict their colors and that is green. Republicans has always served big business even at a cost and detriment to the hourly working class.
