Francis Crick and James Watson have used the occasion of the 50th anniversary of their discovery of the DNA double helix as an excuse to attack belief in a Creator.

The one-humped Camelus dromedarius has been called the ship of the desert–and for very good reasons. In a typical day, this 1,200+ pound animal can carry up to 400 pounds a hundred miles across the unforgiving desert without stopping for food or drink. Indeed, it has been known to go eight days without water.

On his widely popular Cosmos science program in 1980, Carl Sagan described our paltry existence in pathetic terms: “We live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star, lost in a galaxy, tucked away in some forgotten corner of universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.” Several developments since then have altered this perception dramatically.

If humans evolved through a piece-by-piece accretion of parts, then so did their ability to talk. Although talking seems simple, it actually depends on so many perfectly placed characteristics–both material and immaterial–that language must be a gift from God.

If the Bible is the inspired Word of God, its record of the global Flood is completely factual (Genesis 6-9). If the entire world was at one time covered in water for over a year, then one would expect to find evidence of sea life on mountains all over the world. If, on the other hand, the Bible is dismissed out of hand as fiction, one would have to postulate alternative explanations to account for the physical evidence on Earth that point to a global Flood.

Anyone who has taken time to examine a globe in detail has probably noticed that the continents look like they could fit together. Often, this appearance has been likened to a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces of which have been pulled apart. It is not difficult to imagine the continents fitting together as one large land mass.

In the formation of his racial policies, [Hitler] relied heavily upon the Darwinian evolution model.  They culminated in the “final solution,” the extermination of approximately six million Jews and four million other people who belonged to what German scientists judged were “inferior races”.

Adolf Hitler was attempting to breed a superior Arian race of humans. This plan fit perfectly with Darwin’s understanding of natural selection.

If the latter part of 2009 is anything like its beginning, this year will go down in secular history as the year of Charles Darwin. The scientific establishment is rallying virtually its entire arsenal of resources to celebrate the life and writings of Charles Darwin.

Bacteria actually provide evidence against evolution. The bacteria we have with us today are essentially the same as those described by Robert Koch a century ago. In fact, there are bacteria found fossilized in rock layers, claimed by evolutionists to be millions of years old, which as far as one can tell are the same as bacteria living today.
