Religion's Crime Against God

Much of the information in this post is similar to that which is in our companion blog; ‘Unlocking the Mystery of life’s Origin” but with more boldness to the implication of a spiritual realm. Can the Bible conclusively prove that God exists. No. The Bible message is made into reality through belief of those who have faith that it happened the way the Bible says. But that in itself is not proof there really is a God. And yet there is collaborating, empirically, scientifically rigorous criteria that give credence to most of what the Bible teaches.

It is thought by some that evolution and science are the enemies of the Bible, to the contrary. As it turns out, they are the very things that can prove the existence of a metaphysical force which has come to be known, by some, as God. Evolutionary Biology has advanced 1000 fold in the past 50 years, as it is now able to peer into the functions of complex ultramicroscopic molecules. The evidence lies in the structure of life’s most basic unit: the cell. All cells are made up, to the greatest degree, of proteins, and proteins consist of nothing but amino acids. It was thought in Darwin’s time that the cell was nothing more than a glob of protoplasm. It is now known that the cell is a miniature molecular factory. In the lowly cell is where protein is assembled from amino acids. It was thought for a number of years that assembling of protein can come about by a chemical process without genetic instructions. And if the chemical process was formed via genetic information, where and how did that information get its origin? If one said from DNA, then where and how was DNA formed? As we now know, the DNA molecule is the instructor as how to assemble each of 30,000 different proteins and much more.

Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection does work in the development of different species, but natural selection only works when there is a functional advantage. In other words, natural selection could not have created the extremely complex DNA molecule based on natural selection. What I am saying is that a complex information rich DNA molecule must have had an intelligent author or designer since information cannot create itself, even with millions of years of random selection. It’s just like saying, if one takes the 26 letters of our English alphabet and randomly keeps scrambling them, eventually, given eons of time, one could end up with an unabridged dictionary or the complex DNA molecule. Impossible!..

Then, others may believe, it is possible for DNA to have been formed from chemicals arranging and rearranging themselves till finally the complex strand was formed. Since DNA is encoded with such complex, versatile information, that theory has been abandoned by many, evolutionary biologist.

Here is even a stronger case against chemical evolution: Some single celled bacteria have what is called a flagellum, allowing them to maneuver in their surrounding fluid. This flagellum is for all practical purposes a well designed miniaturized outboard motor which can function at one-hundred-thousand rpm in either direction. This motor is made-up of 40 different complex protein parts. If so-much as one part is removed from this molecular motor it will not work. That principle is called irreducible complexity. The same is true of most intricate mechanical or electronic equipment. This is only one of many organs that cannot function unless everything is in place. Since natural selection only works when there is a functional advantage, that theory could not have had anything to do with its design and construction. It needed intelligence. There is no way this molecular motor could have designed itself. The implication it gives is that it had an intelligent metaphysical designer (God) of a realm that is not physical. This seems to be conclusive evidence besides the Bible and other spiritual writings, that there is a force which exists beyond what we humans can understand or see.

Unlocking the Mystery of the First Appearance of Physical Matter. Where did the Big Bang stuff–regardless how small it was–come from, since that is the prevalent theory of how our universe had its genesis. Well, it is sad to say, that is where our laws of physics break down. As I have mentioned previously, and everyone knows, matter cannot create itself. Again, the only logical answer is a metaphysical force must now enter the picture. No matter how one looks at it, this force must be in a realm beyond the physical. And until that force which is the intelligent designer is recognized as God, the story is incomplete.
