CREATION OUTREACH

BEHOLD NOW BEHEMOTH!!!

Behold now behemoth...his strength is in in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

God's Special Creation of our universe and all that is in it is an absolute certainty, and this has great implications for our lives, our society, the course of this world, and for our eternities.

During the last 70 years there has been a tremendous, and PARALLEL, great increase in knowledge of information, and information management systems, as we humans have developed our own systems, AND in PARALLEL, great increase has occurred in our knowledge of God's awesome information management system -- the genetically coded biological world.

We know for certain "information" only comes from some person's brain, it never comes from an accident. Likewise information management systems are always painstakingly made. Thus, it is a certainty our biological world is specially and awesomely created by the "ALMIGHTY," the CREATOR, GOD! The non living universe shows immense DESIGN (it could not be accidental) either.

Concerning the biological world, the low estimate for species on earth is 10 million, the high estimate 100 million. That means this many million and billion letter (base pair) codes! The genetic code system must have been specially made.

REMEMBER, A CODED MESSAGE CONSISTS OF AN ENCODE AND DECODE TOGETHER!!! Don't be fooled by those who stress similarity of the DNA codes of various species ONLY, and don't figure in the DECODE step. It takes BOTH!

So we really are faced with at least 10s of millions of codes in the millions or billions of letters (base pairs.) It is a CERTAINTY that this is a world, specially created by the ALMIGHTY SPECIAL CREATOR GOD!

Creation means God personally exists and made all things. This is opposite to Evolution or Darwinism. Christianity is inseparable from Creation! This is the real reason for the heated debate between the two origins camps.

The Redeemer, Jesus Christ, was needed to accomplish the redemption, because of the Fall of God's perfectly created world. God entrusted a perfect creation to the stewardship of Adam and Eve. In the New Testament (Romans 5) we learn that their failure to obey God's commandment resulted in the Fall of the world, with sin and death entering the universe for the very first time.

Sin and death passed on to all humans. Thus, redemption, and Christianity itself, are firmly tied to creation and the fall. Jesus Christ came to fix this problem and offer, to us, everlasting life.

15 years work with secret codes tells me God exists for sure, and made the genetic code for sure! In the late, great, Strategic Air Command, all our war orders were in secret code. I am talking about an information, and command and control system, capable of fighting a global war and controlling thousands of warheads at once. DNA, with its genetic code, is a command and control, information system, of even more awesome proportions.

The information is in the SEQUENCING OF the DNA, not in the nature of DNA. DNA is NOT alive. All information systems are based on the arrangement imposed on dead material. Our human genetic code, though microscopic, would fill 100 books, each 1200 pages thick. Mathematically, there is ZERO chance life is a cosmic accident.

Don't be fooled by the term "natural selection," it is really God, or an accident. Natural selection can only choose from what already exists, it is not capable of making anything. Realize also, that information involves communication. The sender and the receiver must be using the same language, or they must translate to achieve this.

Not only must the evolutionist propose that the genetic code in the nucleus of cells arose by lucky chance, but that the organelles in the outer parts of cells, that receive the genetic messages and act upon them, also arose by lucky chance so that they just happened to understand the exact same code, and carry out instructions.

Information is Always a Brain Child! Information is always made by some intelligent personal being. First, the person must purpose, that is, originate in his or her mind, the concept of the final product, goal, or outcome. Then, the person must, by reason, determine the materials, tools, and specific sequence of steps needed to achieve the goal.

So, clearly, information always comes from intelligent process, from an intelligent mind. In the case of the genetic information system it is very clear that this must be a mind of supreme intelligence and a person of awesome power.

Science News, Vol. 164 #24, December 10,1994, "Does nonsense DNA speak it's own dialect?" reported extremely significant results of genetic research. It cited the December 5, 1994 issue of Physical Review Letters containing research by molecular biologists at Harvard Medical School and physicists at Boston University strongly indicating that so-called "junk" DNA, is not "junk" after all.

Their study of 37 DNA sequences containing 50,000 base pairs from a variety of organisms showed that the "junk" DNA, amounting to 90% of the human genome, is actually written in a special language. Their tests showed "language like properties" in the "junk" DNA indicating it to be distinctly different from the "code" of the genes.

Plainly, this development effectively removes the "junk" which evolutionists have supposed is left over from eons of evolutionary trial and error, and enormously strengthens the argument that God just plain made the genetic code to begin with.

It has been wondered just where in the genome are the instructions that tell the genes when to "express" and when not to -- so you get fingernails on your fingers and not on your elbows, for example. It would seem the "junk" DNA, now discovered to have its own programmed language, may turn out to be the place.

How can we be alive when we are just a collection of dead atoms? Plainly we are NOT just atoms. The Bible says we ARE LIVING SOULS made by God – we are alive because we ARE souls. We ARE conscious because we ARE souls. The moment your soul departs, you die – that’s what death IS. Death IS the departure of your soul and spirit.

Stop and think what a wondrous and marvelous thing consciousness IS. The properties of matter cannot possibly explain our life of consciousness. Consider this also. You are just getting into your car when that "something" – that “entity” inside you reminds you; you left your briefcase on the kitchen table.

Notice, that this "entity” knew you were getting into your car, it knew your day would go poorly without that briefcase, and so this "entity" decided to intervene in your conscious thoughts to suggest you go back and get the briefcase.

Plainly, this "something" inside you knows you and your every move, and does actual reasoning concerning your life. Notice to, it communicated TO you. Your mind was on other things, when this "entity" interrupted you.

This is your human SPIRIT that God provided to assist and guide your soul. Your SPIRIT scans your mind and talks TO your SOUL. We are body, soul and spirit. We ARE marvelously created moral beings.

The Bible has an actual authentication system, proving it is the Word of the Creator! Military forces employ authentication procedures to confirm the authenticity of messages. The exact "fit" or "match" between the received coded message and the code-book assures the military person the message is authentic.

Your key fits your specific door lock; your password gets you access to your specific computer network. It is the principle of exact "match" or "fit" between two different things, which would NEVER occur by accident, that the system designer uses to insure that only authorized persons use the system, or to demonstrate the authenticity of a message.

God uses this same principle - the precise "fit" between God's created, natural, world and his created, written, Word, the Bible, assures us God is Creator of both. The Bible says God exists and created all life - the existence and design of the genetic code proves this - the Bible "matches" the natural world.

The Bible says God put a soul and spirit within us - we can plainly observe the existence and action of these as our spirit contacts our conscious mind, that is our soul, at various times.

Again we see the exact "fit" between God's written, special, revelation in the Bible and his general revelation in nature. God is Creator of both. God's authentication system may be checked in a myriad of ways, science, history, and just simple observation.

I don't mean to criticize Bible schools and seminaries, but they make a fundamental mistake in approaching God's revealed truth. You have to have both the key and the lock, both code and the codebook, to properly evaluate God's revelation. You need to study BOTH God's special revelation in Scripture AND his General revelation in nature to understand God's message.

But, Bible schools and Seminaries usually treat science, or "natural theology" very lightly. Or they call it "apologetics" – treating it as some sideline thing. It is crucial.

As Biblical prophesies, penned thousands of years ago, turn into current events on the pages of our newspapers, we may rest assured that the Biblical text in which these prophesies lie, is indeed God's Word. God "inhabits eternity." He made time and space for us to live in, but he lives outside time and space.

God does not merely know the future -- he already made the future. God is the maker of time and space. So when Bible prophecies come true, this proves that God, who makes the future, wrote the passages ahead of time. Thus, God authenticates the Bible as being his Word.

In the last few centuries Bible scholars realized that the Biblical, end-time scenario demanded the re-existence of Israel as a nation. But, even serious Bible students found it difficult to conceive that that could ever occur, and many resorted to some form of non-literal interpretation of those Biblical passages.

But, in 1948, to the amazement of many, Israel came back into existence as a nation in the Middle East. This is a clear example of God's Biblical authentication system at work. The most important example of fulfilled prophecy is, for Christians, the coming of the Messiah in fulfillment of numerous prophecies.

I attended a conference on thallium-based superconductors at Breckenridge Colorado in 1995. I happened to ask a young Russian scientist what year this was in Russia. Surprised, he said it was 1995, of course. Then he noted that it was 1995 throughout the entire world.

It is quite amazing that although much of the world takes Jesus Christ rather lightly, any serious literary or scientific work, intended for world readership, will be dated "AD", that is, in the year of our Lord. The whole world uses a 7-day week. I’m not aware of any other historical explanation for the 7-day week than the Biblical one – God created in six days, and rested, the seventh.

Science or religion--who cares--I want the TRUTH. But, you can't get truth from science. Science is based on observation and experimentation. But, scientists are always discovering something new they didn't know before, which forces them to overhaul their theories.

Scientists never know how much they don't know yet. They never have all the facts. You can only get the truth if you possess all the facts. It is illogical to think you can get truth from science. It is a deception to teach that we can.

Don't expect truth from public schools. It's a stacked deck, a rigged system. Public school teachers are often fired if they publicly admit creation may be true. They have economic, political, guns pointed at their heads. They are NOT at liberty to go wherever the evidence leads. They preach evolution "or else."

Creation is the basis of the United States Declaration of Independence. This Declaration states that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

The US constitution grants to government certain authority, retaining all other rights to the people. The American colonists had legitimate right, before God, to form a new nation to "secure these rights." In vital, sacrificial, support of the US Declaration the colonists said, "We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."

Two different Destinies--two different eternities. The issue is far more than academic. It is for "keeps!"

We see the perfection of God's handiwork everywhere we look, the miracles of the human eye, the brain, consciousness, the growing process, the birth process, and the immune system.

But, we also see the atrocities of man's cruelty to man. Would the meticulous, loving, Creator who breathed into Adam's nostrils the "breath of life," be the author of such horror. No indeed! God made a perfect world, which then suffered the Fall at the Garden of Eden.

The Bible says that each person must personally obtain redemption from the sinful effects of the Fall. This redemption is provided through Jesus Christ, who, by substitutionary sacrifice of himself, atoned for the sins. Or, that person must pay God's eternal penalty and judgment.

Read about Jesus Christ in the New Testament and take him as your Savior today!

We may be getting close to his second coming!

Jesus said:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

-- The Bible -- The New Testament Book of John, 3:16-18

Where did we come from? Why are we here? Is there any meaning or purpose to life? Is there life after death? The question of our origin is very important, and continues to be a topic of great difference of viewpoint and intense controversy.

If we are simply the accidental accumulation of cosmic material, then there is no meaning to life, and we are morally free to do, as we like.

However, if we are the purposeful creation of God, then God OWNS us and has moral right to govern us. Furthermore, it is God’s purpose, inherent in his creative acts, that gives ultimate meaning to all things.

Historically, many intelligent and educated people have embraced the supernatural view of our origin.

However, in the last 150 years or so, powerful persons who reject the supernatural view and adhere to a naturalistic, materialistic position, have gained control over our academic, governmental, news media, political, and most religious institutions.

Although the majority of Americans believe the Creator God specially constructed this world, and although the founding principle of the USA, the Declaration of Independence, is plainly founded on this same understanding, people who hold to special creation are often discriminated against.

This author praises the Creator for the great opportunity the Internet or World Wide Web affords to publish the very great amount of evidence and logic clearly pointing to God’s special act of creation.

This same evidence and logic is deliberately and systematically suppressed, ignored and omitted from public view, by these academic, governmental, media, political, and many religious institutions.

I dare say that of people who have the opportunity to understand this volume of evidence, perhaps 85% will admit that the special creation position is extremely strong and compelling. This can be seen in the proportion of Internet origin web sites favoring each of the two viewpoints.

If one looks at say, Yahoo’s origins, web site list, one can see that perhaps 90% or more of the listed sites dealing with the origin’s question, favor the special creation position. Only a few argue the evolutionist position.

This overwhelming majority in creationist origin web sites is due to several things.

First and foremost, is that tremendous advances are occurring in humanly made technology and, in parallel, tremendous advances in our knowledge of the intricacies of living things and in the marvels of the cosmos.

One’s mind naturally compares, on the one hand, human technology, which we know demands the utmost of great creative intelligence, skill and hard work, and, on the other hand the exceedingly high levels of technology in living things and in the cosmos as these higher and higher levels are revealed by further and further high tech discoveries.

Logic, one might even say common sense, demands, that if the advanced technology seen, and ever increasingly so, in human inventions, requires the utmost of very careful thought, intelligence, experiment, engineering and hard work, then so too, must the incredibly high technology which is evident, and again, increasing so, as researchers probe deeper and deeper into the incredible complexities of the living world, and of the cosmos.

Second, it is due to persons of this persuasion boldly publishing this viewpoint in spite of ridicule, and discrimination by much of the establishment.

And third, and I don’t mean to say lastly, the Great Creator himself continues to move time and space and all his creation toward a purposeful and meaningful climax and an ultimate conclusion.

Most who hold this position speak of several important features.

First, that the personal Creator God deliberately constructed this universe and all things in it.

Second, that the Creator found it necessary to destroy all air breathing life on this planet with a world wide flood of water, and that this world-wide flood is evidenced by billions of fossils, extensive layers of sedimentary rocks, massive fossil fuel deposits, and by many other geological features, as well as by a number of ancient historical documents, oral traditions, and artifacts.

Third, that this world is young, on the order of 6-8 thousands of years, not millions or billions of years.

Historically, around 1800, Erasmus Darwin, Charles Darwin’s grandfather put forth his theory of evolution. But is fell flat on its face because it was generally understood the world was about 6000 years old, per the Bible, and it was inconceivable that all life forms could come about by chance in this short time.

Between 1830-1850, Sir Charles Lyell, an attorney, very prominent early geologist, and a president of the British Royal Society, convinced people the world was very old, perhaps millions of years.

Then, when Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution in 1859, it caught on very quickly, because Lyell had stretched the time frame, so that people could now, conceive of all things evolving over a very long period of time.

Thus, the age of the earth, debate, is vitally connected to whether earth’s geology is the record of evolution, or the record of creation and the great worldwide flood.

Although creationist arguments can certainly stand without any reference to the Bible or other religious teachings, since they are based on physical evidence and logic, most creationists do see that physical evidence and logic going hand in hand with the Bible.

Here the origins debate becomes more intense. It is the correlation, the fit, between the Bible and Nature, that causes this intense concern. This is because the Bible effectively publishes the will of God, and this will is binding on all his creation, including humans.

It is my view that the Creator deliberately made Nature and Scripture (Bible) to fit or match in their testimonies. I argue it is like a key and a lock, or like a computer network login and password, or like a military code and the decoding book.

That is, the Creator wrote the Bible through the agencies of men, down through human history, and this historical record matches the evidence from nature, insofar as physical and historical evidence is understood.

It is because of this match, as a key and lock, or a login and password, that we may be confident the same almighty Creator is the maker of both this physical world and the Bible.

Thus, the Bible may be trusted in areas of spiritual truth, in regard to future events, and in regard to the hereafter.

The doctrine of special creation is of utmost importance.
