Creation
I think you have read the older post, as it gives a clear picture about today's post.How is the first man created on this earth? - this is what I have researched and written here.
Today, I'm going to explain about the creation of man and living things by using the experiments done by many scientists, whose findings are limited. The scientists tried to prove evolution through chemical and biological process. Let us see..

Many of us know bout the famous Miller's spark chamber in our biology books.Miller's experiment was brilliant but he had the wrong starting materials and wrong conditions for the experiment and got the wrong results. He didn't use oxygen as he knew it was corrosive and it won't let him produce the molecules(amino acids) he wanted to produce. Most modern living things depend on this 'corrosive' oxygen and is very valuable to life precisely because it's chemically reactive, and aerobic living things today have systems to protect themselves against harmful effects of oxygen, while using its chemical power to advantage.
Here Miller left out oxygen, instead he used methane and ammonia, and these gases could not have present in large amounts. Ammonia would be dissolved in the oceans and methane should be stuck in between deep sedimentary clay and rocks in those times.( Are these oceans, gases and even earth automatically evolved ? If scientists need medium, conditions, gases to do their experiments..)
By his experiment, Miller got his amino acids produced along with some sugars and few things. But there is a problem in the results too. The proteins in living cells are made of certain kinds of amino acids - 'alpha'(short) and 'left-handed'. But Miller's result contained many long(beta, gamma, delta) amino acids and equal numbers of both right-handed and left-handed forms. Just one long form inserted into the short, left-handed amino acids would prevent the coiling and folding necessary for proper protein function. What Miller actually produced was a potent poison that would absolutely destroy any hope for chemical evolution!
Time and chance are no help to scientists, since time and chance works only on inherent chemical properties! Trying to throw 'life' on a roll of molecular dice is like trying to throw a '13' on a pair of gaming dice. It just won't work and the probability is just plain zero.
The specified complexity in a DNA gene sequence has very high informative content. Scientists know two things about information.
First, information is independent of the material that carries it. The phrase 'In God We Trust' can be written, impressed in many objects but the message is the same in any case, and it's obviously not produced by the material that conveys it.
In other words, informational messages - 'exherent' kind of design, reflecting plan, purpose and special acts of creation.Thus, the meaning of a message lies with its Creator, not its carrier.
Second, information comes only from preexisting information. more information can be found in the landmark book by internationally respected information theorist, Werner Gitt, ' In the Beginning was information'. Biblically, the concept is expressed as "In the beginning, God created heaven and earth." (Genesis 1:1)and as " In the beginning was the Word" (John 1:1). The word "Word", identified as Jesus Christ in John 1:14, is the Greek word "Logos", connoting divine plan, reason for being, etc., and means "study of". Our DNA ties us back to the ultimate source of meaning and purpose for the whole universe!
Into the 1800 s, most scientists and philosophers believed living things were made of something fundamentally different from non-living. Genesis 1 & 2 tells us human beings were just made of 'dust of the ground'. Indeed, scientists now recognize that living cells are composed of only a few simple elements. It's not the 'dust' or stuff we're made of that makes us special; it's the way we're put together. It's not the dust that makes life, but the way it's put together with creative design and organization. When that organization is lost, we return to 'dust', the simple elements that we're made of, just as other created objects break down into their simpler parts when left to the ravages of time, chance and chemistry.
Dr. Kenyon is a molecular biologist whose area of research interest is specifically the origin of life. His book on life's origin, Biochemical Predestination, opened with praises for Darwinian evolution, and he taught evolution at San Francisco State University for many years. A couple of students in Dr. Kenyon's class once asked him to read a book by Dr. Duane Gish on creation science. He didn't want to, but thanks to their polite persistence, he resolved to read it and refute it, but at last he told that he read it and couldn't refute it. Instead, Dr.Kenyon got interested in creation science and began a long re-evaluation of the scientific evidence, which finally led him to the happy conclusion that life, including his, is here as a result of creation, the deliberate plan and purpose of a personal Creator God!
The Bible says that God created man in His image, then what's the purpose of man in this earth? Let us see it in future posts.
