Three Witnesses Against Evolution

“By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”

 

There are three witnesses that testify against evolution:

  1. Abiogenesis

  2. The second law of thermodynamics.

  3. The rules of three’s

Any one of these are fatal to the theory, but the three of them together show how weak the theory truly is.

 

Abiogenesis

What is abiogenesis?  It is the theory that fully formed living organisms can arise from non-living matter.  It has been fully refuted, with the Encyclopaedia Britannica stating positively, “It may now be stated definitely that all known living organisms arise only from pre-existing living organisms.”  This proves true the declaration of Scripture, and what we see with our eyes, that every living thing exists by reproduction, whether by the seed which its parent produces (i.e., apples, oranges, animals, or man) or by mitosis (cell division), in the case of microscopic animals.  Life does not come into existence from non-life.

Why is evolution dependent upon abiogenesis?  The theory of evolution only deals with pre-existing matter; that is, one thing that was living evolved into another thing.  It does not address how the original living thing came into existence.  For it to be an explanation of the origin of life, it must address and include abiogenesis, which it does not, and which it cannot, for it was disproved in 1668 by Francesco Redi.

The prevailing notion was that maggots spontaneously generated in rotted meat when it was exposed to air.  Redi proved this wasn’t true by placing screens over the meat, which prevented the flies from laying their eggs.

With the invention of the microscope, bacteria were discovered 15 years later.  They discovered that no matter how they screened off organic matter, putrefaction set in, and bacteria appeared.  This gave them hope that abiogenesis took place on the bacterial level, until Pasteur disproved this by first sterilizing the organic matter, and then protecting it from contamination; no microbes grew.  This disproved it on the microscopic level.

But they still couch their bets; For though Britannica stated the above quote, they immediately follow it up with, “It must be noted, however, that this statement relates only to known existing organisms.  It may be that in the progress of science it may yet become possible to construct living protoplasm from non-living material.  The refutation of abiogenesis has no further bearing on this possibility than to make it probable that if protoplasm be ultimately formed in the laboratory, it will be by a series of stages, the earlier steps being the formation of some substance, or substances, now unknown, which are not protoplasm.”

Though their theory has been disproved time and again, yet their unbelief in God drives them to believe it still must happen.

 

The second law of thermodynamics

This deals with entropy, the level of disorder in a system.  Entropy in an isolated system can never decrease; meaning, disorder in an isolated system cannot become more ordered.  When maximum entropy has been reached, it has reached a state of equilibrium.

To explain: On a molecular level, the faster molecules are moving, the higher the temperature of the substance.  If the substance is introduced to an enviroment which is cooler, the molecules will crash into the slower moving molecules of the cool environment until a state is reached where they are both moving at the same speed (equilibrium).  So, if you place an ice cube on a hot sidewalk, the faster moving molecules of the sidewalk will crash into the slower moving molecules of the ice, causing them to speed up until they are moving fast enough that the solid ice changes to the liquid state of water, and if the sidewalk is hot enough it may cause the water to further pass to steam.

The law further shows that, in the absence of work, heat (energy) cannot be transferred from an area of lower temperature to an area of higher temperature, meaning, the higher temperature will become cooler, and the lower temperature will become higher, until they reach the same temperature.  This can only be overcome by introducing work, that is, more energy, in this case refrigeration.  Refrigeration works by extracting heat from an object (the interior of the refrigerator), and moving it to an area of higher temperature, the environment around it.

What does this mean for evolution?  Absent an introduction of work, everything will always be reduced to an equilibrium; that is everything breaks down, it does not build up, order will return to maximum disorder, the body of man returns to the dust from which it came.  We see it around us; everything exposed to the environment, unless protected from it, breaks down.  This means, that unless outside work was performed, disorder could never have become ordered in the first place.  Meaning, we could not exist, unless we were made.

 

The rule of three’s

There is a loose rule of three’s, being:

  1. We cannot live more than 3 weeks without food

  2. We cannot live more than 3 days without water

  3. We cannot live more than 3 minutes without air

This calls for reasoning; how can we have existed, alive, for the millenia they say took for us to become as we are, if at maximum we cannot live for more than a few minutes without air?  These bodies require a constant introduction of air to live; how can it have existed for the time they say it would have taken, by evolution, to develop the intake mechanism (the nose and mouth), and the exchange mechanism (the lungs, which pass the air to the blood, which passes it to the cells)?  It is an impossibility.
