Scientific Creationism

Like I said before "Scientific Creationism" by Henry M. Morris puts creation and evolution side by side and looks at how and where each one does and does not fit in with well known and proven facts of science. Of course, it is creation that fits more perfectly. The book is a very good book. We would like to see the evolutionist answer to the evidence therein. There are only a couple of problems with this book. The biggest problem for the ordinary person would be that in the chapter on the age of the earth, he goes into more detail and technical information than necessary. It is really enough to say simply that dating methods can not be trusted because we can not assume that uniformitarianism is correct. And at the end of the "Old or Young" chapter, he gives a very unnecessary but yet complicated Algebra equation dealing with the proposed population of the earth if man has been here for a million years or more. Then, in his last chapter, "Creation According To Scripture", is perhaps the most important thing in the whole issue of scientific creationism; that is the Biblical references to the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy.

Psalms 102:25-26 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

Isaiah 51:6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Romans 7:21-25 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

I had said before that an evolutionist should read two books; After Its Kind and The Collapse of Evolution. I would say at this point that an evolutionist should at least read any one good book on the subject. Naturally, the evolutionist would suggest that we Christians read evolution material. And I am not opposed to the idea of reading something suggested by an evolutionist. The problem is that anything written and promoted by evolutionists will be one sided, while the material that I have been reading presents the principles of both sides. So while I am willing to read some evolution material, I am already getting the evolution material. On the other hand, the evolutionist who will not read creationist material doesn't get all the information needed to make an intelligent evaluation of the issue. This is because of several things. The first problem is that Evolutionists assume evolution to be a fact at the start. Then, they have a great lack of understanding of creation principles. And further, they interpret the facts of science and other 'evidences' with a bias to support evolution. Also, they sometimes leave out evidence that favors creation. And finally, they believe that just because they are ignorant of certain things, those things could not possibly be true. For example, since they don't know there is a God, Almighty creator of the universe, there couldn't possibly one. For example, since they have not been "born of the Spirit" of God (John 3:5), it is impossible that anyone else has been Spiritually born and become a new creature in Christ. Since they don't know God and have a personal relationship with him, they think it is impossible that I do. The whole evolution position is ridiculous and based on ignorance.
