BRAINWASHED #6
. Professor Henry M. Morris has shown that the theory of evolution contradicts the universally accepted laws of thermodynamics.
. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that all things left to themselves always tend to go from the complex to the simple, form the organized to the disorganized. Evolution would require just the opposite… the continually building up from the simplest to the more complex forms.
. I would now like for us to consider the complexity of the order and design of our planet and universe. In researching the size of the earth we discover that the mass and size of the earth are just right. If the earth’s diameter were 7,200 miles instead of 8,000, almost the whole earth, due to a lessening of its atmospheric mantle, would be reduced to a snow and ice waste.
. If there were a variation of only 10 percent, either in the increase or decrease of the size of our world, no life as we know it on earth would be possible!
. If the average temperature of the earth were raised but two or three degrees you could bid goodbye to many of the big cities of the earth, for the glaciers would melt, and that in turn would flood many of the big cities. this would also inundate hundreds of thousands of square miles of our most fertile lands.
. The earth’s axis, which now points toward the North Star, is tilted just right – at the strange angle of 23 degrees from the perpendicular, that is, in relation to the plane of its orbit. Because of this tilt the sun appears to go north in the summer and south in the winter, giving us four seasons in the temperate zone.
. For the same reason, there is twice as much of the land area of the earth that can be cultivated and inhabited as there would be if the sun were always over the equator, with no change of seasons. Think what would happen if the earth were tilted any other way than it is.
. We live miraculously on this planet, protected from eight killer rays from the sun, by a thin layer of ozone high up in our atmosphere.
. If that little belt of ozone, approximately forty miles up and only one eighth of an inch thick (if compressed), should suddenly drift into space, all life on earth would perish.
. The first miracle, in the light of what the rest of the universe is like, is that there IS an ocean here! In the universe as a whole, liquid water of any kind – sweet or salt – is an exotic rarity.
. Contrary to common belief, the liquid state is exceptional in nature; most matter in the universe seems to consist either of flaming gases, as in the stars, or frozen solids drifting in the abyss of space.
. The amazing accuracy and smoothness with which the Universe revolves – as a flawless, perfect machine – can be seen in the perfection that characterizes the journey of our earth around the sun. It takes the earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes an 48 seconds to make its journey around the sun. And in this circuit the earth has varied in only the slightest degree. None but an infinite GOD could achieve such flawless, continuous PERFECTION.
. I believe as GOD states in the Bible (Romans 1:20) that nature and creation itself reveals that there is a Creator. We know that for every design there is a designer, and for every law there is a lawgiver. “In the beginning God created” is still the most up-to-date statement on the origin of the universe and all that it contains.
