As most of us have heard, light travels at about 186,000 miles per second. At this rate, light travels about 6 trillion miles in one year, and this distance is called one light-year. Now there are galaxies that are probably billions of light-years distant from us in space. This means that the light, which left a galaxy, say, 5 billion years ago, should just now be reaching us, if it and we have been around for five billion years. So, if in fact the stars were only, say, 6 - 10,000 years old, the light from these distant galaxies would not have had nearly enough time to reach us.

The Big Bang Theory is the dominant scientific theory about the origin of the universe. According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. The big bang was initially suggested in 1927 because it explains why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds. Four observations, Expansion of the Universe, Origin of the cosmic background radiation, Synthesis of the light elements, and Formation of galaxies and large-scale structure are cited today as proof of the big bang theory...

Variation cannot be, in an honest and informed discussion, used to prove the tenets of evolutionary theory. Creation scientists know full well that the information in the DNA of a particular kind of organism has the wonderful capability to scramble the information that is already contained in its coding. This is how marvelous variety can occur within a given class of creatures. Darwin noticed this variation in finches, for example, at Galapagos.

What is now known, that Darwin didn’t know at that time, which was finally noticed by the scientific community about 40 years later, was presented by Gregor Mendal. Now considered to be the father of Genetics, Gregor Mendal demonstrated with his garden peas that variations in a species has nothing to do with new information, but the scrambling and recombination of information already existing.

After voicing his concerns about the growing popularity of creationism among biology teachers and school board presidents, Mr. Berra proceeds in his book to cite, as proof of evolution, homologies in vertebrates, “vestigial��? organs and similarities in embryonic developments (pp 24 - 25), variation (for example finches on pp 28 -  29), rock strata fossils, radiometric dating, the archaeopteryx and the horse (pp 33 – 46), drug resistance in bacteria, the peppered moth, sickle cells and malaria (pp 47 – 62), the big bang, coacervate droplets, and primate relationships (pp 64 – 117).

But if free scientific discourse were to be tolerated, it would quickly be revealed to those who don’t already know it that, in fact, all of these discussions only are presenting examples, in all cases, of either variations within species and natural selection, or dreamt up, unsubstantiated scenarios, and certainly not the creation of anything new in a species or class.

In 1998, Tim Berra, Professor of Zoology, Ohio State University, put out an in-your-face book entitled Evolution and the Myth of Creationism.

This book displays a general attitude and aggressive approach to the evolution-creation debate that you can commonly see in similar books and articles produced by some of the leading evolutionists these days.

Like some of his peers, Mr. Berra can see clearly that there are a lot of people today that are questioning the assumptions and statements-of-fact being brought forth by some of today's evolutionary "mouthpieces?.

Over the last few days we've been presenting the laws of thermodynamics and how they align themselves strongly in support of Scripture and against evolutionism. It was previously mentioned that evolutionists claim that creationists misunderstand that the law defies evolution only in a closed system, and, due to the availability of the Sun"s energy, evolution of life on earth, by local increases in order, can occur.

But the late AW Wilder-Smith clarifies, in his book The Creation of Life, that this idea about the Sun providing energy for evolution is itself a misunderstanding of open and closed systems. In a presentation he picks up a stick off the ground, warmed by the hot Sun above, and rotting, and shows that the Sun, providing unorganized energy, heats up the stick, and so only serves to make the deterioration of the stick happen faster. The use of the Sun’s energy, which Smith calls teleonomy, can only be done by an intelligently designed plant. Smith, a brilliant scientist with three PhD’s in the biological field, clarifies that the spontaneous synthesis of life’s building blocks, and embedding of information within life, is made absolutely impossible by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Julian Huxley, dubbed as Darwin’s bulldog, in his book "Evolution and Genetics��?, presents evolution as that which “can be defined as a directional and essentially irreversible process occurring in time, which in its course gives rise to an increase of variety and an increasingly high level of organization in its products. Our present knowledge indeed forces us to the view that the whole of reality is evolution—a single process of self-transformation."

But despite such confident and unsupportable claims made by evolutionary apologists like Huxley, we at best only know what the accumulation of knowledge presents to be true. In science, we enunciate such accumulated knowledge in the form of laws, and the “meat and potatoes��? of a given scientific law usually is associated with cause and effect relationships.

Last time we ended our discussion pondering how intelligent observers in the last century could miss such obvious facts as we’ve been discussing as they were developing theories about the origin of coal. It was proposed that, as is often is the case when discussing origins, that it may have to do with foundational beliefs, world views if you will, upon which any theory is built.

If you don’t believe, or worse, are vehemently opposed to the Biblical claim of a worldwide flood, then the idea of a violent, world-wide, sudden event occurring in marine waters creating coal beds is at best an idea that would not occur to you, and at worst is repulsive and perhaps a little frightening...Jack

This fourth of a five part, closer look at what most of us have been taught about coal and how it developed, continues to challenge the idea that coal developed in freshwater swamps over millions of years.

So far we’ve reviewed seven observable facts that demonstrate that coal contains marine plants and animals and so should not be theorized to have been generated from freshwater swamps; that coal beds are often impaled by tree trucks oriented in all directions and so should not be believed to have layered over long time periods; that the beds and the trees and roots within them often contain materials that are foreign to the areas where the coal beds are found. Something sudden and energetic, violent, not slow and calm, seems to be associated with coal beds. Also, we saw evidences that these beds are often too vast to be credible swamp floors, and that many coal beds found today are without soils beneath them, necessary to the swamp theory...Jack

We have been discussing thermodynamics and the fact that Scriptural statements about the creation of energy and matter, and the inevitable demise of all material things, is heavily supported by the four laws of thermodynamics. We left off last time with a little detail about the zeroth and first laws. Today and next time we will look a bit more closely at the Second and Third Laws.

The second law of thermodynamics builds upon the First law by stating that all energy, which according to the first law cannot be created or destroyed, experiences a universal process of change, and it is a directional change, but it is not an upward change.

We have been looking at the theories proposed for the origin of coal, and noting reasons for preferring the flood theory above the more commonly known swamp theory. The three reasons discussed last time; many plants found in coal are not swamp plants, trees found in coal beds sometimes contain energetically transported foreign material, and fossils of salt-water life is often found in coal, all seem to contradict the millions-of-years, slow layering, fresh-water swamp theory.

Now, a fourth observation supporting the flood theory: upright tree trunks penetrating tens of feet, perpendicular, diagonally positioned, or upside down, are sometimes found in and associated with coal beds, showing a short time period for coal forming before the tree could rot and fall. Because the tree is in growth position and shows no root regeneration, it probably was buried very quickly, certainly before it could decay...Jack
