S E E TATEMENTS of CIENCE and CRIPTURE XHIBITED XAMINED XPLAINED DUCATIONAL DIFYING VANGELICAL Presented by Dr Thomas J Kindell Founder & President of Reasons for Faith Ministries, Inc. “Be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you” I Peter 3:15

DESIGN IN NATURE A STUDY OF THE BEES

Slide3: 

“Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, W. W. Norton & Co., New York, 1987, p. 1

Slide4: 

“We have seen that living things are too improbable and too beautifully ‘designed’ to have come into existence by chance.” Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, W. W. Norton & Co., New York, p. 43

Slide5: 

DESIGNED BY THE BLIND WATCHMAKER? Evolutions “watchmaker” is both blind and brainless.

Slide7: 

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs. The duick brown aox jumped over the lazf eogs. The duick brosn aox iumped over the lazf eogs.

Slide8: 

“An accident, a random change, in any delicate mechanism can hardly be expected to improve it. Poking a stick into the machinery of one’s watch or one’s radio set will seldom make it work better.” Theodosius Dobzhansky, Heredity and the Nature of Man, p. 105

Slide9: 

THE NATURAL SELECTION DECEPTION Natural selection has no power to create new and better biological information. Rather, it is wholly at the mercy of random, destructive mutations to provide the necessary new information. Since random mutations cannot produce the needed results, natural selection is left helpless with nothing to select.

GROWTH STAGES OF A HONEY BEE 2. Worker feeds hatched larva 3. Larva reaches full growth 4. Worker caps cell 5. Larva spins cocoon & becomes pupa 6. Adult bee leaves cell 1. Queen lays egg in brood cell

Slide15: 

A HONEYBEE’S BRAIN COMPARED TO A SUPER COMPUTER The human brain is millions of times more complex than a honeybee’s!

Slide16: 

Super Computer is huge, slow, inefficient, costs lots of money, must be maintained. It had to be designed.

Slide17: 

THE DANCING BEE THE ROUND DANCE THE WAGGING DANCE If food is nearby, the worker does a whirling dance in one direction, then another (left). If food is distant, she makes a double circle pattern, wagging on the straight run (right).

Slide18: 

The bee runs up on the vertical comb on the wagging part of the dance to tell other workers to fly toward the sun. She runs down to tell them to fly away from the sun. The number of runs in a given time indicates the distance.

Slide19: 

The angle at which she runs on the wagging part of the dance gives the angle of the food source relative to the hive and the sun. The drawings do not show that the scout is surrounded by workers who follow her movements with their antennae.

Slide20: 

WHO TAUGHT THE BEES? QUEEN? DRONE? WORKER? Blind, random, destructive mutations? An All Wise Creator?

HOW THE BEES PUT AN ELEPHANT IN THE LIVING ROOM

Slide22: 

A molecular biologist working on identifying genetic controls for diseases was interviewed by George Caylor of The Ledger, Lynchburg, Virginia. His article entitled, “The Biologist,” appeared on February 17, 2000.

Slide23: 

G: “Do you believe that the [genetic] information evolved?” J: “George, nobody I know in my profession believes it evolved. It was engineered by ‘genius beyond genius,’ and such information could not have been written any other way. The paper and ink did not write the book! Knowing what we know, it is ridiculous to think otherwise.” G: “Have you ever stated that in a public lecture, or in any public writings?”

Slide24: 

J: “No. I just say it evolved. To be a molecular biologist requires one to hold on to two insanities at all times. One, it would be insane to believe in evolution when you can see the truth for yourself. Two, it would be insane to say you don’t believe in evolution. All government work, research grants, papers, big college lectures – everything would stop. I’d be out of a job, or relegated to the outer fringes where I couldn’t earn a decent living.”

Slide25: 

G: “I hate to say it, but that sounds intellectually dishonest.” J: “The work I do in genetic research is honorable. We will find the cures to many of mankind’s worst diseases. But in the meantime, we have to live with the ‘elephant in the living room’.” G: “What elephant?”

Slide26: 

J: “Creation design. It’s like an elephant in the living room. It moves around, takes up an enormous amount of space, loudly trumpets, bumps into us, knocks things over, eats a ton of hay, and smells like an elephant. And yet we have to swear it isn’t there!”

DARWIN’S CONFESSION CONCERNING INSTINCTS “Many instincts are so wonderful that their development will probably appear to the reader a difficulty sufficient to overthrow my whole theory.” Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

Slide29: 

How can it bee?

Slide30: 

Darwin’s Fatal Bee Sting

Slide31: 

For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made – His handiworks. So [men] are without excuse – altogether without any defense or justification. Romans 1:20 Amplified
