Quotes/ memos:

• Science no longer is the search for truth, it is the search for Naturalistic explanations to Origins.

 

• Evolution, the non-provable (i.e. religious) belief that all things have made themselves by means of their own natural properties, with no supernatural input.

 

• In Grammar School they taught me that a frog turning into a prince was a fairy tale. In the university, they told me that a grog turning into a prince was a fact. Ron Carlson.

 

• Evolution does a great job of explaining survival of the fittest. However, it does a poor job of explaining arrival of the fittest.

 

• Survival of the fittest only results in exactly that…. It does not result in a “new and improved species”.

 

• Darwin did not prove Evolution; he only developed an explanation for variation (of species).

 

• In other words both the long neck of the giraffe and the short neck of the hippopotamus can presumably be explained by natural selection.

 

• The fact that categories of natural phenomena can be arranged in an orderly classification system is a testimony to Creation. (Scientific Creationism, by Henry M.  Morris, page 23). If an evolutionary continuum existed as the evolution model should predict, there would be no gaps and thus it would be impossible to the mark specific categories of life.

 

• Many do not want to believe Scripture, regardless of the scientific evidence that supports scripture and vice versa.

 

• People are so fearful in a “blind faith in God and the Bible. Isn’t faith in the dating methods (or rocks & fossils) which are designed by man blind faith in the word of humans?

 

• If the evolutionist prefers not to believe in God, he must still believe in some sort of First Cause, therefore, in either case, one must simply believe either in Eternal Matter or else in an Eternal Omnipotent Creator God.

 

• Long ages would not be required to create gas and oil. This is displayed by the manufacture of oils and methane from garbage. (Scientific Creationism, by Henry M.  Morris, page 109).

 

• God created the world in 6 days, not because he could not do it in one day, but because he wanted to illustrate how we are to order our lives.

 

• There are more paleontologist (those that study the human fossil record)  than there are fossils for them to study!

 

• If life can be created in a test tube someday, that achievement will not prove the same thing happened by chance three billion years ago, rather, it will prove, if anything, that an exceedingly high concentration of intelligent planning and precisely controlled laboratory apparatus were necessary for the accomplishment”. (Scientific Creationism, by Henry M.  Morris, page 49)

 

• If the evolutionist prefers not to believe in God, he must still believe in some sort of First Cause, therefore, in either case, one must simply believe either in Eternal Matter or else in an Eternal Omnipotent Creator God. The individual may decide which he considers more reasonable, but he should recognize this is not completely a scientific decision either way.
