@@martinkent333 "I typed Moses" The Egyptians did not keep records of their failures, it's likely any reference to Moses or the exodus was erased by pharoahs men on his orders. There is some evidence of Joseph's existence though. A mansion found in the delta, grain silos, and the great pyramid of keops. I have a belief the great pyramid was built for Joseph who's body was removed and reburied in the Holy land, hence why there was no mummy found (he is risen), the lack of hyroglyphs, the narrow path to the king's chamber or the wide path to the pit, there is so much that this pyramid quotes from the Bible giving us a picture of Christ. In Isaiah ch 19:19 God tells us of an altar and monument dedicated to God in Egypt. "In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. 20: It will be a sign and witness to the LORD" I think the great pyramid and Sphinx are these monuments.
What makes the problem even worse is the step into chemical reactions requiring energy to overcome the hurdle of joining single units (monomers) together to make larger multi unit sequences (polymers). The ridiculous claim that life could have started thru RNAs and the example given is a self-replicating RNA found in a bacterium (sorry forgotten where the claim was from). Although this occurs, it piggy backs off of a network of other proteins and molecular structures needed to make the energy required for the self-replication to occur, otherwise without that energy the chemical bonds would not form. I think the example investigated required GTP (guanine tri-phosphate) for the energy transfer to occur (GTP doesn't form naturally), which from what I recall requires a parasitic salvaging of energy from ATP to convert GDP (guanine di-phosphate) to GTP, which in turn requires ATPase (ATP doesn't occur naturally), the little motor that is also explained by CMI. It's incredible how evolutionists use snippets of info with an air of authority in their statement as if just them saying it overcomes the unsurmountable hurdles that stop the whole line of thinking dead in its tracks.
@@valentin1808 I'm sorry but I've got to laugh at your sheer ignorance. A lightning bolt would charcoal everything. It's too much energy. In chemistry things are measured in mols for a reason. 1 mol = 6.022 x 10^23 (Avogadro's number) individual molecules/atoms. The third phosphate carries most of the energy at 30.5kJ/mole. This is a lot if a mole is considered but each individual reaction is a miniscule fraction of that. The energy (or electropotential) is enough to drive each chemical reaction just right but not enough to blow the whole lot apart so that atoms don't shoot electrons out of their respective shells out to a distance where they become free electrons, maintaining the integrity of the bond just made/broken. For a lightning bolt to be useful trillions upon trillions of chemical reactions ready to go off would be needed to take up the energy. There is a reason that when a lightning strike hits something it is pulverized. Only some things survive and that's because the energy has been dispersed leaving the thing intact. Real life is not a Frankenstein movie, no matter how much the proponents of this mechanism try to indulge it. As I said in my previous comment just saying it is so doesn't make it so.

exactly, Darwinian evolution = an endless series of very lucky events, and always in the right order ... PS: I am a mechanical engineer with decent background in IT. From what I could understand, Darwinian evolution is a trial-error process. And only the best design is selected. I have a silly question: Where are all the errors ? Darwinists claim, that there are around 10,000,000 species on Earth today. (and, allegedly, this is only 2-3% of what is left, all the other extinct). So let's say, each species features 1000 parts working together in a concert for a purpose. A simple math: 10,000,000 species x 1000 parts = 10,000,000,000 working parts. How many design errors did Darwinists find ? 5 ? or 10 ? Like I said, I as an engineer, I see 10,000,000 species perfectly working for its purpose, no design flaws, no design errors, so I am asking again, where is the trial-error process ? WHERE ARE ALL THE DESIGN ERRORS ??????
@@martinjan2334 I've asked the same question many times here to evolutionists. Never get an answer. We should've found loads of mutant fossils, as well as seeing plenty of the creatures badly mutated today. But all we've ever seen is complete and high functioning creatures
right. All fossils ever found - fully working creatures, no design flaws. I would expect, to find millions of fossils with lots of design errors/flaws. I debated lots of evolutionists, and I was told, that the reason why we don't see fossils with design errors is because these type of fossils are rare, because there are only few because the design errors made them extinct, hence you can't find them, because they gone extinct very fast - because of those design errors ... Actually, I as an engineer, would expect exactly the opposite. That the majority of fossils will feature design flaws. Unless you believe, that the best design was achieved at the first attempt.

Regarding the idea that the answer could be that life came from outer space; why do some scientists think that moving the location of the start of life, somehow makes the probability of it starting through natural undirected processes any more viable.
Mate, the very fact that you even exist is so astronomically rare that it shows the “impossible” is indeed possible. Leaving evolution completely out of the window and only looking at humans from your Adam and Eve, every single one of your ancestors not only had to survive to sexual maturity, but also have their ancestors before them do the same. They also had to meet eachother and decide to have a child together out of every other person that existed. There’s also the fact that there are millions of sperms for every load your dad bust, you being one of them. Your mom also loses an egg every 28 days, you being one of them. So, not only did every ancestor of yours have to meet and have children, each of their specific sperm cell and egg had to be the lucky one to make it out of billions over a lifetime to make your ancestors and eventually you.
Beyond entropy and how the universe and life began, Professor Jim Tour at Rice University in Houston is the person that has thrown a stone in the proverbial pond of how things all began, at least for me! Professor Tour has more than 55 patents and is a synthetic chemist and his description of a simple cell simply beggar's belief and in one lecture my whole conception of life changed forever. First, you need lipids which form the membranes of the cell, then carbohydrates or sugars, then nucleic acids RNA and DNA and then you need Amino acids, 19 of one category and 1 of another. The carbohydrates on the outer membrane are more complex than the RNA and DNA combined. The outer membrane has 10 to the 78 billion possible combinations and only one will work. That is 10 with 78 billion zeros after it! Boys and girls, there is no way the simple cell came together in a prebiotic pond in my opinion, and even if all the components came together in exactly the right temperature and arrangement, what puts the spark of life in it; what makes it come alive?

Because simple but functional life would be more likely to have been designed than unimaginably complex life that...because of it's complexity is fraught with problems from genetic mutations, deformity, cellular defects...all because God chose to make it vulnerable to sin. And...if you are like most theists, you DO believe in simple life that is functional...eg life in the supernatural like angles, demons and devils. Do you think THOSE somehow arose and developed naturally? No? That proves it's not complexity that convinces you that life was designed. ' I'm just trying to help you broaden your views. Besides, you DO (likely) believe in life that isn't complex at all, right? So do you think THAT life somehow developed on its own or was it designed too?
@@Braden-York Yes it is important to distinguish between complex vs what Darwin said. He didn't use the phrase irreducibly complex. This is apparently what he wrote. "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." So until we find that something that could not have developed naturally using successive slight modifications, natural evolution is still viable. So, we're in luck.

@@sathvamp1 My favorite detail is saying that complex things like proteins cannot get that way naturally without a designer/creator god. Over time, increased complexity is easy. Things did not start out as complex as they are now; as the Righteous Brothers sang, "Time can do so much." Just look at human creations. Our dwellings started out extremely simple and as we learned new techniques they evolved into much more complex structures. Eyes were not always as they are today. Early "eyes" were very primitive and simple things that just barely sensed light. They evolved into the many types of eyes we find today. Virtually any argument by a creationist is disputable.

The greatest discovery of modern science is that life could not have arisen on its own but could only have been designed and created by a super intelligence. At the same time we have learned the universe itself- space, time, matter and energy- is comprised of elements so exquisitely fine tuned that they as well can only have been designed by a super intelligent being. Who in this case is eternal, with neither beginning nor end, and metaphysical, existing beyond space, time, matter and energy. In short, science has discovered God.
First of all, modern science has NEVER made the discovery that life could not have arisen on its own but could only have been designed and created by a super intelligence. Please show me the paper on this great discovery. Only creationists say this and they can put forward no evidence to back up their claim. Secondly "At the same time we have learned the universe itself- space, time, matter and energy- is comprised of elements so exquisitely fine tuned that they as well can only have been designed by a super intelligent being." Again, science has NEVER shown this to be true. Please back up your scientific claim.
An even greater discovery would be to find how it is possible for citizens of an advanced and educated society to be able to constantly misrepresent the findings of science.

However, I would guess that the vast majority of people who side with the existence of God but enter these scientific debates did not reach their faith through much, if any scientific reasoning. If you focus only on science in an attempt to “see” God, you’ve missed a vast amount of what points to a great mind behind all of this. The reason I say that is that if your coming into these discussions, like I do, having already recognized that the real mysteries don’t lie in the outrageous odds of fine-tuning or the causal factors for the Bi Bang. They exist in our ability to recognize beauty, to feel true love and compassion for others and often those we don’t even know, to have the capability to consider and contemplate, to imagine and hope, to sacrifice, and to carry a conscience that almost literally, at times, stops us from doing wrong or pushes us to do right. To attribute those intangible gifts to genetic mutation and natural selection doesn’t add up to me. Many of our attributes as humans don’t seem to provide an evolutionary advantages and might actually be a disadvantage. You bring those to the table and the scientific arrows that might point to a god get much brighter.
The other thing these scientists won’t admit is that the fact that they have to set up such specific circumstances and change those circumstances for each step of this process does more to prove that it DOES take an intelligent mind to put all this together.

Isaac Newton found God in Nature and saw science as a bridge between the human and the divine mind. For Newton to adore Nature, to study it scientifically, was a devotional act. Newton on the Solar System: "Though these bodies may indeed continue in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves from those laws. Thus, this most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the council and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being." - General Scholium to the Principia The most important founders of modern science believed in God: Nicolaus Copernicus (a monk), Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Joseph Priestley, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel (the founder of genetics and abbot of a monastery), Lord Kelvin and Albert Einstein. Plus, many of the pioneers of quantum physics: Werner Heisenberg, Max Plank, Erwin Schrödinger, James Jeans, Louis de Broglie, Wolfgang Pauli and Arthur Eddington. And today's scientists - the astrophysicist Paul Davies, Simon Conway Morris (Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at Cambridge), Alasdair Coles (Professor of Neuro-immunology at Cambridge), John Polkinghorne (who was Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge), Russell Stannard, Freeman Dyson … and Francis Collins, who led the team of 2,400 international scientists on the Human Genome Project and was an atheist until the age of 27, when he became a Christian. Natural sciences started to decline only when Charles Darwin presented his evolution theory in 1859, without understanding anything of genetics or thermodynamics or information science. Over 60% of all Nobel Laureates in Science believe in God (1900-1999). It seems that the more ignorant a person is, the more he is inclined towards atheism.
This is not true. Only the scientists promoted by media, there are millions of intelligent people that already know that the current origin of life theories are lies. A larger question is - why?
Actually, real scientists do come forward...but are often chastened and chastised by their peers for recognizing the supernatural implications of their findings. They are often dismissed from their jobs or not granted tenure.

All other "religions" are about how good we should be and what we need to do to "earn" Heaven and avoid hell. And based on those belief systems, we can't even know if we're going to Heaven until Judgment Day. Jesus (who IS God) came to this earth in human form and then went to hell to pay the price we deserve to pay. And ALL He asks is that we believe in HIM. It's so simple! And it makes our relationship with Him, and with others, so much easier. In other words: I don't do good deeds to earn Heaven. I try to do good because I love Jesus and I simply want to please Him. If I was doing good works just to avoid hell, then it isn't really good works; because the good deeds would not be based on my love for God (who IS Jesus) and others; but rather my own selfish desire to avoid hell. That isn't the way Jesus wants us to live. There is NO other belief system in the world that espouses a Risen Savior! And there is even lots of Historical evidence backing up the claim that He rose from the dead.
Whilst he may have had ideas, Darwin never attempted to explain the origin of life. He did explain the overall process for how life developed its diversity, which has been proved to be correct.
You're right-Darwin focused on how life diversified, not the origin of life itself. However, modern science has made huge strides in understanding life's origins through research in abiogenesis, showing that under the right conditions, simple molecules can evolve into more complex ones over time. While we don't have all the answers yet, experiments like Miller-Urey's in 1953 demonstrated that amino acids could form from basic chemicals, supporting the idea that life could emerge naturally without divine intervention. Though as all ways, creationists and young Earth proponents all to often confuse evolution with abiogenesis.

If abiotic compounds could magically form themselves into a living cell, they would most likely have to do that more than a million times to get lucky enough to get one that can reproduce.
@@lepidoptera9337 “unguided natural process” that no one has ever observed and all the brains in the world can’t reproduce would also be magic. But let’s say that did actually happen.

God was very tired after five straight days of performing magic; it makes sense that He would only magic two humans and that He would magic them the easy way.
As a non scientis listening to this and other biologists like James Tour its easyto understand why life just didn't either spontaneously occur or could come about by the accidental jiggling about of chemicals no matter how old the earth or universe is , but the chance of an intelligent force , god or otherwise is a real possibility to me even if its non religious .

Actually, virtual particles spontaneously appear and disappear in vacuums all the time. These particles are real and are the widely-accepted explanation for the Casimir effect, which was observed in 1997 with a direct experiment by Steven K. Lamoreaux that quantitatively measured the Casimir force to within 5% of the value predicted by the theory.
@@wefinishthisnow3883 The current theory is that particles appear and disappear. That has not been observed. If this theoretical belief is true, it still does not mean that molecules can pop into existence from nothing. If the idea you mention is true, then scientists must deal with the reality that magic exists.
@@wefinishthisnow3883Yet they still contend these “ghost” particles came from something. And that’s not even the biggest problem with you using virtual particles to jump into the origin of life debate. This has also never been observed physically. Right now it’s a model to explain a Phenomena. Someone has claimed to have imaged an atom. Not verified yet. Still haven’t imaged this phenomena you are speaking of.
To add to what he says about chirality, there is no chirality in solution. It only appears when the molecules crystallize out. Since life is water-based there would have to be endless cycles of crystallizing and redissolving on top of which a lipid coat woulf have to be entrained with the crystals to preseve the stereochemistry,

Explaining how DNA, RNA, proteins work and the ATP they need isnt God of the gaps. How is pointing out thst ATP Synthase is a motor 'god of the gaps'? Since when have motors ever existed that aren't designed by intelligent agents? How much ATP is needed to build the ATP Sythase motor?
Maybe life started with the most extreme event in our universe where all “ingredients” for life were contained and through the mass amount of energy and whatever else extreme processes were produced, somehow caused a fusion of sorts that led to the development of life. The seeds of life could then have been distributed throughout the universe by various means. For extraordinary events to occur we might need extraordinary circumstances. Or maybe the intensity of singularities caused a similar event. Also, the way you describe the dna being unraveled, makes me think of life being vary similar to machines and that we are like biological computer systems.
So you're ascribing intelligence to a purely naturalistic event or events...????!!! How come it's all so beautifully amenable to our human LOGIC ( an abstract entity requiring intelligence )????
It's possible that the creator was not created. We know about biology...and the laws of chemistry point to chemistry being insufficient to explain the origin of life. But we don't know the laws that govern the origin of spirit and mind and life. It's possible that there are no such laws. Since God is not biological, your argument is invalid, a "false association".

There's more to the story... As one tries to hypothesize how life came about from the virtual impossibility of random events, we must realize that there are degradational processes that are developing at the same time with equal probability and that these would tend to destroy intermediate steps along the way of achieving life. That is to say, that anyone proposing a forward process needs to account for these negative processes and hypothesize those and their interactions (which doesn't happen in the scientific community to my knowledge). Additionally, isn't it interesting that we are surrounded by elements and molecules such that we have been able to create, through intelligence, so many chemicals and materials, that allow us to explore the universe. Allowing us to be more than just some animal foraging for food and reproducing. Allso, isn't it interesting that the gravity situation on earth also matches the energy content available in readily accessible sources. That is to say for instance, coal from the ground produces enough energy to provide electrical power. Gasoline powers our transportation system. If gravity was 10 times as great, nothing would move. There's a unique balance between the materials and energy sources that are available for intelligent life to develop and explore the universe. No matter how impossible the formation of life is, there's another several levels of impossibility, that we are here doing what we're doing.
His alleged probabilistical proof of the impossibility or life (protein) emerging without intelligent design is flawed. A coin has a 1 in 2 chance of fliiping heads. That doesnt mean you have to flip it twice before it can flip heads. Similarly, there being a 1 in 10^195 chance of something happening (even assuming that's a correct assumption) doesnt mean you need 10^195 "events" before it will happen. All it needed for the simplest pre-cursor to a living thing to emerge, was for the ingredients to happen to come together once in a particular way over the span of billions of years, over the span of a universe containing billions of galaxies containing even more planets and moons. That is not impossible, doesn't require an outside deity to direct the process, can easily happen by chance. Everything else then is a question of further complexity and development, again over billions of years, again depending on a mixture of chance and randomness and context, and involving billions of changes that let nowhere and essentially disappeared because they failed to be carried over to the next generations. Again not needing a direct deity. The fact living things developed the way they have was not a given. The process hasn't ended and who knows how living things will end up. Reasoning that "the way living things are NOW is really complicated and how they are NOW would have been impossible to just throw randomly together out of nowhere" betrays a fundamental misunderstanding. You can't reason back from where we are now to say "this is too perfect/complex to have just come about from nowhere". Where we are now isnt optiimized, didnt come suddenly from nowhere, are they are still constantly changing.

To be fair, we've really only just started looking in the past few years with the James Webb Space Telescope, the Perseverance Rover on Mars. The Dragonfly mission to Titan may reveal further clues as well.

James Tour has said in many videos "As a scientist I can never say they we will not be able to create life." He also says that as research learns more and more the challenge of creating life is not getting closer but receding from view... life is ever more complex as knowledge expands. For being such a undeniable genius and professes Christian he cannot see the violent contradictions. He tells of a protein in a simple yeast cell that has 1 x 10 to 79,000,000,000 separate steps in the assembly and all have to be correct. That is a crazy big number so big such that one can say with certainty that life cannot self assemble.the universe has supposedly 1 x 10 to 90 elemental particles. Tour is hard stuck in a paradigm trap. He is unwilling to break from his academy and speak conclusively. Sure he will get fully ostracized but the Truth is ALWAYS COSTLY and is unwilling to speak. Grrrr.
Tour signed that thing by scientists saying something along the lines of that they doubted mutations could account for evolution. I read the last paragraph on his intro page, and I get the impression he doesn't accept evolution but he won't definitively say so because he hasn't done a thorough study of the subject.
You can "believe in evolution" just fine if you accept that it doesn't answer the question "Where does life come from and how?" It answers a whole bunch of other important questions.
What I realised when told that proteins are made of a specific sequence of amino acids , that have to be left handed, and that there are 20 amino acids was that would preclude random selection, which would mean that Darwinism or evolution was a lie.
Evolution by natural selection describes how variety and eventually speciation comes about. Genetics explains how this takes place. This is well known and there is plenty of evidence for it. The origin of life is a separate problem. This is unknown. The origin of life being unknown doesn't stop evolution being true and known.
@@s.unosson Yes, indeed he did. However, it's not a very good theory because there's no explanation of where energy (not destructive bolts of lightening) comes from. Amino acids aren't life. Then there's the genetic code which is very complex... Personally I think we're a long way from explaining the origin of life. Nick Lane's Life Ascending is a good book on the subject but even he admits there's no really convincing natural explanation - yet.
Sad how people can hear a video like this and still hold to the idea that life will create itself. Man will believe in anything rather than believe in God.
Romans 1:18-20 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godliness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 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 so that men are without excuse.

Once there was no life on this planet, then there was simple life for billions of years, then there was complex life for 500 million years or so. All this has left lots of evidence for us to research and work out the process of how it all happened. The bible creation story however is the least likely explanation simply because there has never been ANY evidence for a god that is said to have magically just willed it all into existence. In fact this god only made an appearance a few thousand years ago in the middle East, despite the fact that have been thousands of gods before that that people believed in, ALL of which have left no evidence for their existence. And you cannot say that the fact that the earth universe and life exists is the evidence. No it is not, because there are other hypotheses to explain these things. Some have left evidence, others no evidence and the god hypothesis is the least likely of them all
Every point on the surface of the planet, throughout the volume of the lakes and oceans, and volumes of dust were and are like tiny little science experiments, questing for a combination that survives and procreates.

The things you mention are part the proces of good and evil. God defines what is good and what is not good (evil) not humans. Below I give you the model the bible describes about good vs evil. The starting point is genesis 1.31. God has created everything and saw it was “very good”. This is including human beings. So there once was a time when humans were very good according to God. But what is very good about humans? Genesis 2.25 “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. “ Genesis 3.7 “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” So we can make a model (see below) out of this information: very good: Everything is taken for granted by/taken care of for humans - Humans are naked but are not aware of this. (- Humans have all ways food growing on trees.) (- Animals and humans are vegetarian) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fallen world Good: Not being aware of your nakedness, but there is always deterioration. - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- evil: Things are not taken for granted - Humans are naked and are aware of this. - Humans don't have food, must make their own food- Animals are dangerous for humans etc. It is a diagram in the shape of the letter Z. Everything above the upper line is the very good world. Every thing is taken for granted for human beings. They don't have to do things themselves, take effort, to have it good: food is supplied by trees, being warm is normal, there is no lust for nakedness because humans are unaware of their nakedness. In leviticus it is clear that nakedness is the private part of a human being. Everything below the upper line is the fallen world. Just below the upper line it is "Good". People are not aware of their nakedness, but there is always deterioration of the things made. Everything below the lowest line is the oposite of “very good”. So not very good, or biblically; “evil”. People are aware of their nakedness. So being aware of your nakedness is called evil. This is because people want to know the difference between good and evil. The oblique line is the “They have to take effort to have it good” process or you might say: figure it out yourself! Have it cold? Shave a sheep, clean the wool, spin, weave, tailor. Bring the process to Asia, add: Built ocean container ships, 1.000.000 crude oil barrels for one way there, dig Suez canal for Europe, built harbors, roads for trucks to bring the clothing to the shops. Now every independent woman can say she bought here own jacket with her own money. Built a house, bake stones, cut timber, dig for copper for electric wires, dig iron for nails, screws, central heating, process glass windows somehow, take a loan, work 30 years to pay it off: aaah nice warm and cozy. But if you cannot pay the gas bill you might have it cold in the winter (downfall). Want food?, clear the field, plant crops, keep birds away from picking seed, harvest, keep harvest safe from animals, grind the grain, built oven, chop wood, now how to make fie, knead dough, bake bread. As a man, seeing a nice woman leads to sexual thoughts. You feel an erection. Biblically this is the moment you notice your nakedness, which is not good. So to have it good (not feeling your nakedness), you must take effort. You cannot do this by covering your body with clothing but by “strengthening your mind”.Today people would say: meditate. As a start, look the other way is the most easy way to do. Jesus says “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” So you cannot look at your own wife with lust which makes perfect sense. Lust is “noticing your nakedness”, which is not good. Think about the Lords Prayer: “Do not lead us in temptation and deliver us from evil.” Cuddling and spooning is fine of course. In what God thinks is very good, grown ups will only have sex when they want to make a baby, so Catholic priests having sex with young boys is absurd according to what God thinks is very good. Other things you can explain with this diagram: Why does God not show himself? Very good is when God walks with Adam and Eve and talks with them. So the opposite of this is: God does not walk with humans on earth. He doesn't show himself so we have to look for him (take effort): read and study, comprehend the bible, develop counter arguments against atheists, and other religions etc. Why have children cancer, why the plague? Good is: not to die. To live forever. The opposite, evil, is: to die. So we have to take effort not to die. We have to develop medicines (from nature or otherwise), we have to make (healthy) food ourselves or we get sick or starve to death, we have to make clothing against the cold so we won't freeze. (Just say: Jesus I repent, I am a sinner, I will turn my back to my sinful life, and then you will live for ever after you die). Homosexuality. Very Good is when a “Man leaves his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. So the opposite, evil, of this is: A man does not attaches himself to his wife and be one flesh, but he cleaves to something else: Not his own wife, a man, an animal. So he has to take effort not to do so. Pay attention, according to the model a heterosexual man cannot look with lust at a woman, so a homosexual cannot look with lust at a man. It is the same thing: noticing of your nakedness, which is not very good. He might start a relation with a lesbian woman. So they have sex to make a baby without lust, which is very good according to God.
The only ones guilty of the argument from ignorance fallacy is the so called scientists/atheists. They claim ignorance on exactly how life began yet insist “natural processes”, “billions of years” and “chance” are responsible. They invoke 3 gods to fill the gaping void in their knowledge: Chemistry, Time and Luck. In contrast the Christian argues from what we know is true: 1.) DNA is semiotic information. 2.) Every instance of semiotic information existing is always the result of an intellect, no exceptions exist. 3.) There is no known natural phenomenon or mechanism that could compose semiotic information (that is to imbue meaning into a specifically complex sequence) 4.) DNA is therefore the product of an intellect. 5.) The discovery of DNA and its semiotic nature is irrefutable proof of the existence of at least one supreme intellect before life began (as we know it) on earth.
You have to have intelligence in order to create intelligence so intelligence can be intelligence for us to be created with intelligence. Think about it.

"I typed Moses"
The Egyptians did not keep records of their failures, it's likely any reference to Moses or the exodus was erased by pharoahs men on his orders. There is some evidence of Joseph's existence though. A mansion found in the delta, grain silos, and the great pyramid of keops. I have a belief the great pyramid was built for Joseph who's body was removed and reburied in the Holy land, hence why there was no mummy found (he is risen), the lack of hyroglyphs, the narrow path to the king's chamber or the wide path to the pit, there is so much that this pyramid quotes from the Bible giving us a picture of Christ.
In Isaiah ch 19:19 God tells us of an altar and monument dedicated to God in Egypt.
"In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. 20: It will be a sign and witness to the LORD"
I think the great pyramid and Sphinx are these monuments.
What makes the problem even worse is the step into chemical reactions requiring energy to overcome the hurdle of joining single units (monomers) together to make larger multi unit sequences (polymers).
The ridiculous claim that life could have started thru RNAs and the example given is a self-replicating RNA found in a bacterium (sorry forgotten where the claim was from). Although this occurs, it piggy backs off of a network of other proteins and molecular structures needed to make the energy required for the self-replication to occur, otherwise without that energy the chemical bonds would not form. I think the example investigated required GTP (guanine tri-phosphate) for the energy transfer to occur (GTP doesn't form naturally), which from what I recall requires a parasitic salvaging of energy from ATP to convert GDP (guanine di-phosphate) to GTP, which in turn requires ATPase (ATP doesn't occur naturally), the little motor that is also explained by CMI.

In chemistry things are measured in mols for a reason. 1 mol = 6.022 x 10^23 (Avogadro's number) individual molecules/atoms. The third phosphate carries most of the energy at 30.5kJ/mole. This is a lot if a mole is considered but each individual reaction is a miniscule fraction of that. The energy (or electropotential) is enough to drive each chemical reaction just right but not enough to blow the whole lot apart so that atoms don't shoot electrons out of their respective shells out to a distance where they become free electrons, maintaining the integrity of the bond just made/broken. For a lightning bolt to be useful trillions upon trillions of chemical reactions ready to go off would be needed to take up the energy. There is a reason that when a lightning strike hits something it is pulverized. Only some things survive and that's because the energy has been dispersed leaving the thing intact. Real life is not a Frankenstein movie, no matter how much the proponents of this mechanism try to indulge it. As I said in my previous comment just saying it is so doesn't make it so.
Evolutionists are blocking the progress of scientific investigation. Dawkins will go into history alongside leeches and blood letting.
@@DiosBaramin There are plenty of sources of energy other than a lightening bolt, Dios, I think it might be you showing your lack of understanding of things. Early life almost certainly used chemical synthesis as a source of energy,

Evolution sounds like the most astounding sequence of extraordinary good fortune time after time. Almost miraculously
"Getting a protein is a bit like having the whole solar system full of blind people each with a Rubik's Cube and they all arrive at the solution at the same." ~ Dr. Don Batten, Biologist [PhD]/career in experimental biology.
exactly, Darwinian evolution = an endless series of very lucky events, and always in the right order ...
PS: I am a mechanical engineer with decent background in IT.
From what I could understand, Darwinian evolution is a trial-error process. And only the best design is selected.
I have a silly question:
Where are all the errors ? Darwinists claim, that there are around 10,000,000 species on Earth today. (and, allegedly, this is only 2-3% of what is left, all the other extinct).
So let's say, each species features 1000 parts working together in a concert for a purpose.
A simple math: 10,000,000 species x 1000 parts = 10,000,000,000 working parts. How many design errors did Darwinists find ? 5 ? or 10 ?
Like I said, I as an engineer, I see 10,000,000 species perfectly working for its purpose, no design flaws, no design errors, so I am asking again,
where is the trial-error process ?
WHERE ARE ALL THE DESIGN ERRORS ??????
@@martinjan2334 I've asked the same question many times here to evolutionists. Never get an answer. We should've found loads of mutant fossils, as well as seeing plenty of the creatures badly mutated today. But all we've ever seen is complete and high functioning creatures
right. All fossils ever found - fully working creatures, no design flaws. I would expect, to find millions of fossils with lots of design errors/flaws.
I debated lots of evolutionists, and I was told, that the reason why we don't see fossils with design errors is because these type of fossils are rare, because there are only few because the design errors made them extinct, hence you can't find them, because they gone extinct very fast - because of those design errors ...
Actually, I as an engineer, would expect exactly the opposite. That the majority of fossils will feature design flaws. Unless you believe, that the best design was achieved at the first attempt. But when you look at fossil record, it looks like the fully working design was ALWAYS achieved at the first attempt...
@@k3630
as to "Evolution sounds like the most astounding sequence of extraordinary good fortune time after time."
let me add to this...
What most lay people don't know, is, that according to Darwinists/Evolutionists, in some cases, this astounding sequence of extraordinary lucky events happened in parallel (at the same evolutionary moment ) ...
Not to mention, that many of these extraordinary lucky events happened repeatedly, many times, for example -- a placenta should have evolved 100+ times repeatedly (independently) in evolutionary unrelated species ...
Believing this, requires lots of faith :)))

Very informative, very scientific and logical. God bless you.
Mate, the very fact that you even exist is so astronomically rare that it shows the “impossible” is indeed possible. Leaving evolution completely out of the window and only looking at humans from your Adam and Eve, every single one of your ancestors not only had to survive to sexual maturity, but also have their ancestors before them do the same. They also had to meet eachother and decide to have a child together out of every other person that existed. There’s also the fact that there are millions of sperms for every load your dad bust, you being one of them. Your mom also loses an egg every 28 days, you being one of them. So, not only did every ancestor of yours have to meet and have children, each of their specific sperm cell and egg had to be the lucky one to make it out of billions over a lifetime to make your ancestors and eventually you.
Beyond entropy and how the universe and life began, Professor Jim Tour at Rice University in Houston is the person that has thrown a stone in the proverbial pond of how things all began, at least for me! Professor Tour has more than 55 patents and is a synthetic chemist and his description of a simple cell simply beggar's belief and in one lecture my whole conception of life changed forever. First, you need lipids which form the membranes of the cell, then carbohydrates or sugars, then nucleic acids RNA and DNA and then you need Amino acids, 19 of one category and 1 of another. The carbohydrates on the outer membrane are more complex than the RNA and DNA combined. The outer membrane has 10 to the 78 billion possible combinations and only one will work. That is 10 with 78 billion zeros after it! Boys and girls, there is no way the simple cell came together in a prebiotic pond in my opinion, and even if all the components came together in exactly the right temperature and arrangement, what puts the spark of life in it; what makes it come alive?
Praise His Holy Name 🙌🏻

@@sanjosemike3137"Perhaps. But it is a moot point, since life is unimaginably complex, both macro and micro."
it's a thought experiment to get you to reconsider WHY you think life was designed and created. Not WHETHER you think it was designed, but why. Since you were unwilling to consider it, that means you understand that complexity isn't the reason you think life was designed. Because simple but functional life would be more likely to have been designed than unimaginably complex life that...because of it's complexity is fraught with problems from genetic mutations, deformity, cellular defects...all because God chose to make it vulnerable to sin. And...if you are like most theists, you DO believe in simple life that is functional...eg life in the supernatural like angles, demons and devils. Do you think THOSE somehow arose and developed naturally? No? That proves it's not complexity that convinces you that life was designed. '
I'm just trying to help you broaden your views.
Besides, you DO (likely) believe in life that isn't complex at all, right? So do you think THAT life somehow developed on its own or was it designed too?
"irreducibly" complex.
@@Braden-York Yes it is important to distinguish between complex vs what Darwin said. He didn't use the phrase irreducibly complex. This is apparently what he wrote. "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
So until we find that something that could not have developed naturally using successive slight modifications, natural evolution is still viable. So, we're in luck.
I know all about this subject, and this man nails it exactly correctly. What he's saying is really indisputable, but a lot of people don't want to hear it. Like Jesus often said "Let him who has ears to hear....."
THAT is SO true (when you said "a lot of people don't want to hear it")... I was just saying in another post how poorly made so many peoples' arguments are when they DON'T actually read / analyze the "opposite view's" literature. With regard to his persuasive argument against the primordial soup idea, I was most intrigued by his mention of the chirality issue.

@@sathvamp1 My favorite detail is saying that complex things like proteins cannot get that way naturally without a designer/creator god. Over time, increased complexity is easy. Things did not start out as complex as they are now; as the Righteous Brothers sang, "Time can do so much." Just look at human creations. Our dwellings started out extremely simple and as we learned new techniques they evolved into much more complex structures. Eyes were not always as they are today. Early "eyes" were very primitive and simple things that just barely sensed light. They evolved into the many types of eyes we find today. Virtually any argument by a creationist is disputable.
@@stevepierce6467 Ah ok yup I've heard that one before. I was somewhat impressed with the chirality issue though-- while I know a lot of biology, I keep forgetting about that aspect.

The greatest discovery of modern science is that life could not have arisen on its own but could only have been designed and created by a super intelligence. At the same time we have learned the universe itself- space, time, matter and energy- is comprised of elements so exquisitely fine tuned that they as well can only have been designed by a super intelligent being. Who in this case is eternal, with neither beginning nor end, and metaphysical, existing beyond space, time, matter and energy. In short, science has discovered God.
First of all, modern science has NEVER made the discovery that life could not have arisen on its own but could only have been designed and created by a super intelligence. Please show me the paper on this great discovery. Only creationists say this and they can put forward no evidence to back up their claim.
Secondly "At the same time we have learned the universe itself- space, time, matter and energy- is comprised of elements so exquisitely fine tuned that they as well can only have been designed by a super intelligent being." Again, science has NEVER shown this to be true. Please back up your scientific claim.
Exactly right, sir.

However, I would guess that the vast majority of people who side with the existence of God but enter these scientific debates did not reach their faith through much, if any scientific reasoning. If you focus only on science in an attempt to “see” God, you’ve missed a vast amount of what points to a great mind behind all of this. The reason I say that is that if your coming into these discussions, like I do, having already recognized that the real mysteries don’t lie in the outrageous odds of fine-tuning or the causal factors for the Bi Bang. They exist in our ability to recognize beauty, to feel true love and compassion for others and often those we don’t even know, to have the capability to consider and contemplate, to imagine and hope, to sacrifice, and to carry a conscience that almost literally, at times, stops us from doing wrong or pushes us to do right. To attribute those intangible gifts to genetic mutation and natural selection doesn’t add up to me. Many of our attributes as humans don’t seem to provide an evolutionary advantages and might actually be a disadvantage. You bring those to the table and the scientific arrows that might point to a god get much brighter.
The other thing these scientists won’t admit is that the fact that they have to set up such specific circumstances and change those circumstances for each step of this process does more to prove that it DOES take an intelligent mind to put all this together.

For the life of me I can't understand how scientists are the most atheists. They see and know these miraculous things firsthand. Things that the average person doesn't even think about. Yet they are adamant atheist. Is it really as simple as, they know and they are just scared? But you would think at least one of them would come out and just say that
I feel your pain. It's exactly what I think aboutscientist who outrightly reject the evidence despite deeper understanding than the rest of us.
Brainwashing and intimidation. Has been demonstrated many times already.
Isaac Newton found God in Nature and saw science as a bridge between the human and the divine mind. For Newton to adore Nature, to study it scientifically, was a devotional act.
Newton on the Solar System:
"Though these bodies may indeed continue in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves from those laws. Thus, this most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the council and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being."
- General Scholium to the Principia
The most important founders of modern science believed in God: Nicolaus Copernicus (a monk), Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, Joseph Priestley, James Clerk Maxwell, Gregor Mendel (the founder of genetics and abbot of a monastery), Lord Kelvin and Albert Einstein.
Plus, many of the pioneers of quantum physics: Werner Heisenberg, Max Plank, Erwin Schrödinger, James Jeans, Louis de Broglie, Wolfgang Pauli and Arthur Eddington.
And today's scientists - the astrophysicist Paul Davies, Simon Conway Morris (Professor of Evolutionary Paleobiology at Cambridge), Alasdair Coles (Professor of Neuro-immunology at Cambridge), John Polkinghorne (who was Professor of Mathematical Physics at Cambridge), Russell Stannard, Freeman Dyson … and Francis Collins, who led the team of 2,400 international scientists on the Human Genome Project and was an atheist until the age of 27, when he became a Christian.
Natural sciences started to decline only when Charles Darwin presented his evolution theory in 1859, without understanding anything of genetics or thermodynamics or information science. Over 60% of all Nobel Laureates in Science believe in God (1900-1999). It seems that the more ignorant a person is, the more he is inclined towards atheism.
This is not true. Only the scientists promoted by media, there are millions of intelligent people that already know that the current origin of life theories are lies. A larger question is - why?
Actually, real scientists do come forward...but are often chastened and chastised by their peers for recognizing the supernatural implications of their findings. They are often dismissed from their jobs or not granted tenure. Watch the movie "Expelled"...for just a sliver of the what is happening in academia to those following the science where it leads them and getting punished for coming to the conclusion there had to be a designer. I know personally a microbiologist denied tenure for suggesting that there had to be a designer.
Thanks brother and sister. We talked about this at L'Abri Sydney when the Intelligence Design battle started. The evidence for intelligence is overwhelming.
There is no problem. The Creator did it all. 😊
"The Creator did it all." - So far it is the only theory that's not been scientifically proven impossible. The only known alternative (abiogenesis) is empirically proven impossible, while also being against the laws of physics.
All other "religions" are about how good we should be and what we need to do to "earn" Heaven and avoid hell. And based on those belief systems, we can't even know if we're going to Heaven until Judgment Day.
Jesus (who IS God) came to this earth in human form and then went to hell to pay the price we deserve to pay. And ALL He asks is that we believe in HIM. It's so simple! And it makes our relationship with Him, and with others, so much easier.
In other words: I don't do good deeds to earn Heaven. I try to do good because I love Jesus and I simply want to please Him. If I was doing good works just to avoid hell, then it isn't really good works; because the good deeds would not be based on my love for God (who IS Jesus) and others; but rather my own selfish desire to avoid hell. That isn't the way Jesus wants us to live.
There is NO other belief system in the world that espouses a Risen Savior! And there is even lots of Historical evidence backing up the claim that He rose from the dead.
Whilst he may have had ideas, Darwin never attempted to explain the origin of life. He did explain the overall process for how life developed its diversity, which has been proved to be correct.
You're right-Darwin focused on how life diversified, not the origin of life itself. However, modern science has made huge strides in understanding life's origins through research in abiogenesis, showing that under the right conditions, simple molecules can evolve into more complex ones over time. While we don't have all the answers yet, experiments like Miller-Urey's in 1953 demonstrated that amino acids could form from basic chemicals, supporting the idea that life could emerge naturally without divine intervention.
Though as all ways, creationists and young Earth proponents all to often confuse evolution with abiogenesis.

Technically, no human beings were "made." The clay was already there; magic brought it to life. The rib was already there, magic brought it to life.

As a non scientis listening to this and other biologists like James Tour its easyto understand why life just didn't either spontaneously occur or could come about by the accidental jiggling about of chemicals no matter how old the earth or universe is , but the chance of an intelligent force , god or otherwise is a real possibility to me even if its non religious .

Maybe life started with the most extreme event in our universe where all “ingredients” for life were contained and through the mass amount of energy and whatever else extreme processes were produced, somehow caused a fusion of sorts that led to the development of life. The seeds of life could then have been distributed throughout the universe by various means. For extraordinary events to occur we might need extraordinary circumstances. Or maybe the intensity of singularities caused a similar event. Also, the way you describe the dna being unraveled, makes me think of life being vary similar to machines and that we are like biological computer systems.

There's more to the story... As one tries to hypothesize how life came about from the virtual impossibility of random events, we must realize that there are degradational processes that are developing at the same time with equal probability and that these would tend to destroy intermediate steps along the way of achieving life. That is to say, that anyone proposing a forward process needs to account for these negative processes and hypothesize those and their interactions (which doesn't happen in the scientific community to my knowledge). Additionally, isn't it interesting that we are surrounded by elements and molecules such that we have been able to create, through intelligence, so many chemicals and materials, that allow us to explore the universe. Allowing us to be more than just some animal foraging for food and reproducing. Allso, isn't it interesting that the gravity situation on earth also matches the energy content available in readily accessible sources. That is to say for instance, coal from the ground produces enough energy to provide electrical power. Gasoline powers our transportation system. If gravity was 10 times as great, nothing would move. There's a unique balance between the materials and energy sources that are available for intelligent life to develop and explore the universe. No matter how impossible the formation of life is, there's another several levels of impossibility, that we are here doing what we're doing.
His alleged probabilistical proof of the impossibility or life (protein) emerging without intelligent design is flawed. A coin has a 1 in 2 chance of fliiping heads. That doesnt mean you have to flip it twice before it can flip heads. Similarly, there being a 1 in 10^195 chance of something happening (even assuming that's a correct assumption) doesnt mean you need 10^195 "events" before it will happen. All it needed for the simplest pre-cursor to a living thing to emerge, was for the ingredients to happen to come together once in a particular way over the span of billions of years, over the span of a universe containing billions of galaxies containing even more planets and moons. That is not impossible, doesn't require an outside deity to direct the process, can easily happen by chance. Everything else then is a question of further complexity and development, again over billions of years, again depending on a mixture of chance and randomness and context, and involving billions of changes that let nowhere and essentially disappeared because they failed to be carried over to the next generations. Again not needing a direct deity. The fact living things developed the way they have was not a given. The process hasn't ended and who knows how living things will end up. Reasoning that "the way living things are NOW is really complicated and how they are NOW would have been impossible to just throw randomly together out of nowhere" betrays a fundamental misunderstanding. You can't reason back from where we are now to say "this is too perfect/complex to have just come about from nowhere". Where we are now isnt optiimized, didnt come suddenly from nowhere, are they are still constantly changing.
The video's reasoning is very logical. Time brings materia to ever simpler forms, not to more complex forms.

I think James Tour is agnostic on evolution but I could be wrong about that.
James Tour has said in many videos "As a scientist I can never say they we will not be able to create life." He also says that as research learns more and more the challenge of creating life is not getting closer but receding from view... life is ever more complex as knowledge expands.
For being such a undeniable genius and professes Christian he cannot see the violent contradictions. He tells of a protein in a simple yeast cell that has 1 x 10 to 79,000,000,000 separate steps in the assembly and all have to be correct. That is a crazy big number so big such that one can say with certainty that life cannot self assemble.the universe has supposedly 1 x 10 to 90 elemental particles.
Tour is hard stuck in a paradigm trap. He is unwilling to break from his academy and speak conclusively. Sure he will get fully ostracized but the Truth is ALWAYS COSTLY and is unwilling to speak.
Grrrr.
Tour signed that thing by scientists saying something along the lines of that they doubted mutations could account for evolution. I read the last paragraph on his intro page, and I get the impression he doesn't accept evolution but he won't definitively say so because he hasn't done a thorough study of the subject.
You can "believe in evolution" just fine if you accept that it doesn't answer the question "Where does life come from and how?"
It answers a whole bunch of other important questions.

Do the jurors on a murder trial witness the murder? Or do they look at the evidence left by the murder to establish how it happened?
Once there was no life on this planet, then there was simple life for billions of years, then there was complex life for 500 million years or so. All this has left lots of evidence for us to research and work out the process of how it all happened.
The bible creation story however is the least likely explanation simply because there has never been ANY evidence for a god that is said to have magically just willed it all into existence. In fact this god only made an appearance a few thousand years ago in the middle East, despite the fact that have been thousands of gods before that that people believed in, ALL of which have left no evidence for their existence.
And you cannot say that the fact that the earth universe and life exists is the evidence. No it is not, because there are other hypotheses to explain these things. Some have left evidence, others no evidence and the god hypothesis is the least likely of them all
Every point on the surface of the planet, throughout the volume of the lakes and oceans, and volumes of dust were and are like tiny little science experiments, questing for a combination that survives and procreates. Combine that with millions of years, that makes the probability of creation of life incalculable. The one thing we know for certain is that somehow life was created.
Oh great - we don’t know the answer yet therefore god. Seen this before… Earthquake? God! Lightning? God! The Sun? God! Plagues? God! These didn’t stand up and neither will this approach. This is just preaching to the converted already and convinces nobody else.
You have also two Gods which explains everything: chance and a lot of time 😉
And btw it is the sheer unlikeness of math that life doesn't jump spontaneously. That is Logic.
The things you mention are part the proces of good and evil. God defines what is good and what is not good (evil) not humans. Below I give you the model the bible describes about good vs evil. The starting point is genesis 1.31. God has created everything and saw it was “very good”. This is including human beings. So there once was a time when humans were very good according to God. But what is very good about humans? Genesis 2.25 “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. “ Genesis 3.7 “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” So we can make a model (see below) out of this information:
very good: Everything is taken for granted by/taken care of for humans
- Humans are naked but are not aware of this.
(- Humans have all ways food growing on trees.)
(- Animals and humans are vegetarian)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fallen world
Good: Not being aware of your nakedness, but there is always deterioration.
-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
evil: Things are not taken for granted - Humans are naked and are aware of this. - Humans don't have food, must make their own food- Animals are dangerous for humans etc.
It is a diagram in the shape of the letter Z. Everything above the upper line is the very good world. Every thing is taken for granted for human beings. They don't have to do things themselves, take effort, to have it good: food is supplied by trees, being warm is normal, there is no lust for nakedness because humans are unaware of their nakedness. In leviticus it is clear that nakedness is the private part of a human being. Everything below the upper line is the fallen world. Just below the upper line it is "Good". People are not aware of their nakedness, but there is always deterioration of the things made. Everything below the lowest line is the oposite of “very good”. So not very good, or biblically; “evil”. People are aware of their nakedness. So being aware of your nakedness is called evil. This is because people want to know the difference between good and evil. The oblique line is the “They have to take effort to have it good” process or you might say: figure it out yourself! Have it cold? Shave a sheep, clean the wool, spin, weave, tailor. Bring the process to Asia, add: Built ocean container ships, 1.000.000 crude oil barrels for one way there, dig Suez canal for Europe, built harbors, roads for trucks to bring the clothing to the shops. Now every independent woman can say she bought here own jacket with her own money. Built a house, bake stones, cut timber, dig for copper for electric wires, dig iron for nails, screws, central heating, process glass windows somehow, take a loan, work 30 years to pay it off: aaah nice warm and cozy. But if you cannot pay the gas bill you might have it cold in the winter (downfall). Want food?, clear the field, plant crops, keep birds away from picking seed, harvest, keep harvest safe from animals, grind the grain, built oven, chop wood, now how to make fie, knead dough, bake bread. As a man, seeing a nice woman leads to sexual thoughts. You feel an erection. Biblically this is the moment you notice your nakedness, which is not good. So to have it good (not feeling your nakedness), you must take effort. You cannot do this by covering your body with clothing but by “strengthening your mind”.Today people would say: meditate. As a start, look the other way is the most easy way to do. Jesus says “But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” So you cannot look at your own wife with lust which makes perfect sense. Lust is “noticing your nakedness”, which is not good. Think about the Lords Prayer: “Do not lead us in temptation and deliver us from evil.” Cuddling and spooning is fine of course. In what God thinks is very good, grown ups will only have sex when they want to make a baby, so Catholic priests having sex with young boys is absurd according to what God thinks is very good.
Other things you can explain with this diagram:
Why does God not show himself? Very good is when God walks with Adam and Eve and talks with them. So the opposite of this is: God does not walk with humans on earth. He doesn't show himself so we have to look for him (take effort): read and study, comprehend the bible, develop counter arguments against atheists, and other religions etc.
Why have children cancer, why the plague? Good is: not to die. To live forever. The opposite, evil, is: to die. So we have to take effort not to die. We have to develop medicines (from nature or otherwise), we have to make (healthy) food ourselves or we get sick or starve to death, we have to make clothing against the cold so we won't freeze. (Just say: Jesus I repent, I am a sinner, I will turn my back to my sinful life, and then you will live for ever after you die).
Homosexuality. Very Good is when a “Man leaves his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. So the opposite, evil, of this is: A man does not attaches himself to his wife and be one flesh, but he cleaves to something else: Not his own wife, a man, an animal. So he has to take effort not to do so. Pay attention, according to the model a heterosexual man cannot look with lust at a woman, so a homosexual cannot look with lust at a man. It is the same thing: noticing of your nakedness, which is not very good. He might start a relation with a lesbian woman. So they have sex to make a baby without lust, which is very good according to God.
Its because of what we do understand
The only ones guilty of the argument from ignorance fallacy is the so called scientists/atheists. They claim ignorance on exactly how life began yet insist “natural processes”, “billions of years” and “chance” are responsible. They invoke 3 gods to fill the gaping void in their knowledge: Chemistry, Time and Luck.
In contrast the Christian argues from what we know is true:
1.) DNA is semiotic information.
2.) Every instance of semiotic information existing is always the result of an intellect, no exceptions exist.
3.) There is no known natural phenomenon or mechanism that could compose semiotic information (that is to imbue meaning into a specifically complex sequence)
4.) DNA is therefore the product of an intellect.
5.) The discovery of DNA and its semiotic nature is irrefutable proof of the existence of at least one supreme intellect before life began (as we know it) on earth.
You have to have intelligence in order to create intelligence so intelligence can be intelligence for us to be created with intelligence. Think about it.
And that means God had to always exist.
