WITH BRANDON SENIOR

Early Man

 

We don’t have the propensity of fossils of man as we might expect.  Man lives in communities so we should see numbers of human fossils close together.  Most people congregate together except for a few groups like some aborigines etc…God wiped man off earth with flood and sinful man was the target of this judgment.  The question is where do we find evidence of this flood today?  Not on land but under ocean.  In the Pacific ocean we see canyons 4 x’s larger than Grand Canyon.  Canyons happen from rushing water, we see this on land not under water.  Cities and fossil could therefore be under water like the story of Atlantis.  Animals are everywhere but not in cities.  So naturally we would not find many human fossils where we are finding animal fossils.

 

Lamarckism:

We are taught that ancestors of man lived in trees, then came down due to climate change etc…, then grasslands came, crawl, couldn’t see over grass, then stood up and walked.  This is what we call Lamarckism little by little changes because of repeated attempts.

 

Early man attributes:

We are constantly reminded of how man began  in magazine covers and other media, usually portrayed with scratches etc… Every generation is reminded through these magazines.

Science teaches man and monkeys have a common ancestor and we are the end result thereof.

 

From the tree shrew:

Science says we began as tree shrews with eyes on the side; then evolved eyes on front to triangulate vision this would have been and advantage in depth perception.  The tree shrew, although, never misses a branch.  Science says then one day through evolution it picked up club killed ate but there is no evidence for this.

REMEMBER all the fossils exist together with man, not in different layers in the geological column, they then arrange to look like they evolved.  Australopithecus, hominids, etc… all existed together and are ordered by how we think it happened.

 

Genes

We have 98% genes in common with a chimpanzee therefore we must be related right?  2% of structural genes is a huge difference and we are depicted by the expression of the genes.  Did you know we have just about as many genes in common with mouse – 76% in common with banana?  Did we evolve from banana?  Remember all “ancient man” relatives existed at the same time as modern man.

 

Nebraska Man:

Science constructed a new million year old link from a tooth found in the US.  It turns out this tooth was actually from a peccary.

 

Piltdown Man:

This was another link to ancient man that was based on a few pieces of bone and shown in 1953 to be a forgery composed of an orangutan mandible and parts of modern day human cranium.

 

Out of Africa:

Theorized that man began in the horn of Africa and moved out many years ago.  There really seems to be no evidence for this.

 

Multiregional Hypotheses:

This teaches that man made an evolutionary leap at the same time.  Interestingly enough this is roughly right where the Ark would have landed near the mountains of Arrarat.

 

Leaky:

Leaky (Who found nutcracker man) chronologically orders man this way:  Australopithecus, which was an ape, but said had features leading toward man (man was already there) – all the way through Neanderthal – Chromagnum – Australopithecus walked upright because we see footprints in stone- These prints have been studied and found to be exactly like human walking on mud barefoot.  Fossils were ordered simply by the way they look.

 

Ape of Man?:

Fossils are 100% ape or 100% human.  Australopithecus Afarensis, Arobustus, Africanus – ape from Africa, ape from afar, robust one (has ridge others don’t so it is taught to be a different species).  Male gorilla has ridge female doesn’t they are not two species.

 

1470 Skull:

Famous skull 1470 has many pieces missing.   This is it, skull only, no skeleton bones.  You can’t tell if walked upright, you can only tell that it is 100% ape as far as skull goes, the rest is pure conjecture.

 

Lucy:

Donald C. Johanson unearthed Lucy at Hadar, Ethiopia 1975.  The head is 100% ape.  The arm to leg ratio, they say, is midway between human and ape.  An ape’s are to leg ratio is 1 to 1 – human 1 to .75,  Lucy supposedly 1 to .87 half way between ape and man we must notice all the missing pieces.  The hip tells us if it walked upright, this hip actually shows it walked like ape.  They say the hip must be twisted and there is no other hip to compare.  The knee is more like a human knee (only human feature) BUT the knee was not found with Lucy.  It was found in another deposit not even near Lucy, they added it.  Remember human and austrolopithicus lived contemporaneously - Johansan originally considered her an austrolopithicus and later acknowledged that Lucy is nothing more than a pigmy chimp.

 

Sterkfontein Caves:

Here we find the Taung Child AKA Miss Ples and little foot.  Both are apes, yet science tries to prove

evolution with the hips.  Even today humans have narrow or wide hips.  Some woman cannot even give birth because of hip issues.

 

Carbon 14 Dating (radio carbon dating):

Carbon 14 decays very rapidly compared to some radioactive isotopes , so quickly that any bones that really were millions of years old would not contain any carbon 14 it would long since have decayed away.

 

Morality

 

Darwin and witchcraft:

An influential relative got  Darwin a position as the unpaid "naturalist" on a ship planning to sail around the world.  The voyage lasted from December 1831 to October 1836.

It is not commonly known that Charles Darwin, while a naturalist aboard the Beagle, was initiated into witchcraft in South America by nationals. During horseback travels into the interior, he took part in their ceremonies and, as a result, something happened to him. Upon his return to England, although his health was strangely weakened, he spent the rest of his life working on theories to destroy faith in the Creator.

After taking part in the witchcraft ceremonies, not only was his mind affected but his body also.

Evolution Handbook

 

ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION, OR THE PRESERVATION OF FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE:

This full title of Darwin’s book reveals the viciousness of the character of Darwin’s theory theory.  This is what led to two of the worst wars of in the history of mankind.

 

World War I (1917 – 1918):

Darwinism basically taught that there is no moral code, our ancestors were savage, and civilization only progressed by violence against others. It therefore led to extreme nationalism, racism, and warfare through Nazism and Fascism. Evolution was declared to involve "natural selection"; and, in the struggle to survive, the fittest will win out at the expense of their rivals.

Evolution Handbook Pg. 37, 38

 

Hitler:

The very title of Hitler’s book My Struggle to Survive and Overcome was copied from a Darwinism expression.  Hitler believed he was fulfilling evolutionary objectives by eliminating “undesirable individuals and inferior races in order to produce Germany’s ‘Master Race’.

 

Columbine School Shooting:

One of the shooters was wearing a T-shirt that read natural selection.  Times of London reports Harris “was a worshipper of Darwinian principles”.  This is also seen in the life of Pekka-Eric Auvine, an 18 year old student who murdered eight people in his high school in 2007.

 

Evolution as a religion:

“Evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to bend their observations to fit with it.”

H. Lipson, “A Physicist Looks at Evolution, “Physics Bulletin 31 (1980), p. 138

 

Darwin questions evolution:

"Long before the reader has arrived at this part of my work, a crowd of difficulties will have occurred to him. Some of them are so serious that to this day I can hardly reflect on them without in some degree becoming staggered“

*Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species, 1860, p. 178; quoted from Harvard Classics, 1909 ed., Vol. 11.

 

Survival of the fittest failed in the life of Darwin:

Charles Darwin married is first cousin in an attempt to produce higher evolutionary offspring.  Three of his ten children died before the age of eleven.  Three of the children that married could not have children and others suffered poor health conditions.

 

Now What?

 

What it takes to make you:

One cell from your mom found one cell from dad each carrying 23 chromosomes.  Your mom carries half and your dad carries the other half.  They then joined to form brand new DNA code using four (characters) nucleotides.  This would eventually form the three billion character of who you are. If your DNA stretched out it would be 6ft long.  If I read one character per second it would take 96 years to read your description.  You are unique!

At 3 days old you are the 16 cells that will eventually be 75 trillion cells.  That’s enough to go to the moon and back 178,000 times. 50,000 cells died and are replaced every 3 seconds.

 

The human eye:

1 million optic nerve endings left your brain and headed for million optic nerve endings that left your eye they had to meet and match their exact partner, in that instant you had sight.  When this happened there is only one piece of skin covering eye.  Miraculously at 6 months a cutting device cuts that skin and you have eyelids for very first time in mother’s womb.  The most technologically advanced thing on earth is your eye.  No wonder when Darwin began to study the eye he began to question his theory.

 

Laminin:

God is holding you together, God promises to hold you together.  Laminin is a protein molecule, a cell adhesion molecule.  Cells organize into certain molecular structures and that determines what protein they are.  There are about 10 to 16,000 proteins in human body, one is a cell adhesion molecule which tells the cell what its job is in the body.  Laminin is the perfect shape of the cross that Jesus was crucified on.

 

Creation:

God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  –Genesis 1:27

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 –Genesis 2:7

 

A Savior born:

And the Word (Jesus) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, the Glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

 –John 1:14

 

Salvation:

But God demonstrates his own love for us in tis: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

–Romans 5:8

 

Freedom from guilt:

 If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

-1 John 1:9

 

Now what?

"It was because Darwinian theory broke man’s link with God and set him adrift in a cosmos without purpose or end that its impact was so fundamental. No other intellectual revolution in modern times . .. so profoundly affected the way men viewed themselves and their place in the universe.“

Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), p. 67 [Australian molecular biologist].

 

What if Evolution is wrong and there really is God?  What if you really were created with reason and purpose?  What if there is someone that loves you?  Now what?  Will you accept the gift of eternal life?
