Evolution and Origin of Life
When debating, evolutionist scientists attempt
to draw a line between evolution and the origin of life. They do not want the
origin of life to be included in the discussion of evolution. They feel
evolution must stand on its own.
When examining the origin of life, it is
essential to understand that natural selection and mutations could not be a
factor (discussed more fully in Chapter 3). Without these two foundational
elements of evolution, all that is left for life to come from non-living matter
is time and chance. Since natural selection is not a factor in the origin of
life, evolutionists say the origins issue is not classified as evolution.
Therefore, attempts at exposing evolution’s holes using origin of life issues
is considered out of bounds.
Wrong. The topic of the origin of life is a
central issue in this book (primarily in Chapters 2 and 3) because it is clearly
the foundation to evolution. The fact is, scientific evidence for a naturalistic
origin of life is profoundly lacking. To accept a natural means to the origin of
life is to do so by faith, not by scientific evidence.
The secular media and educators do not point out
the shortcomings of evolution. One objective of this book is to help the public
become aware of some of the theory of evolution’s fatal weaknesses. As the
reader understands the issues explained in this book, he or she will naturally
conclude that there is a God.

Empirical Science
If it can be observed, measured, tested and retested, it is empirical
science. Creationists and evolutionists do not dispute the empirical
science. For example, scientists observe that certain strains of bacteria
have adapted and survived antibacterial medicines. Using this data as
evidence for macroevolution is in dispute, not the observations.
