Many atheists thrive on ignorance
by Babu G. Ranganathan
Many atheists have very little understanding of science, DNA, and biology. They only have very superficial knowledge of these scientific subjects. Their ignorance of how nature works allows them blissful freedom to believe all sorts of fairy tales.
As mankind has discovered and understood more about nature, particularly DNA, the more ridiculous and childish does atheism appear.
If anything is old and discredited it is most certainly the old, re-cycled arguments used to support Darwinian macro-evolutionary theory. Darwin was only right about natural selection and micro-evolution, but not about macro-evolution.
Some have concluded that everything is possible. Just give it enough time, they say. That no matter how great the odds are, life can simply evolve if given enough time. Yet, these same people wouldn't dare believe that the energy from a tornado going through a junkyard will assemble a 747 Jumbo Jet even if given billions of years. These same people wouldn't dare believe that billions of explosions in billions of printing presses over billions of years will produce even one textbook on mathematics. Even if they believe these things, they wouldn't dare teach them as being fact or science.
Information, whether it be information in the genetic code, on a computer software program, on a type-written page, on a hand-written page, in radio signals, in the electrical signals flowing through a telephone line, anything where there is sequential arrangement of matter or energy conveying instructions, messages, codes, such phenomenon does not happen and cannot happen by chance.
Many people who easily believe in Darwinian macro-evolution theory do not understand what genes really are. They are information. DNA is information! Those who do understand and still believe in macro-evolutionary theory should know better or have been so brainwashed so as not to think critically about the theory or they wish to believe in the theory in spite of evidence to the contrary for personal motives and reasons.
Even Chaos theory shows that only a minimal level of order will ever be possible by chance.
The creation/evolution issue really begins with the origin of life. So, let's start there. We will not bother discussing the issue of time and the age of the earth and universe. Many do not realize the assumptions involved and the circular reasoning used by evolutionists in their various dating methods. That is another story. So, let's begin with the origin of life issue.
Millions of high school and college biology textbooks imply that Stanley Miller, in the 1950's, showed that life could arise by chance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Miller, in his famous experiment in 1953, showed that individual amino acids (the building blocks of life) could come into existence by chance. But, it's not enough just to have amino acids. The various amino acids that make-up life must link together in a precise sequence, just like the letters in a sentence, to form functioning protein molecules. If they're not in the right sequence the protein molecules won't work. It has never been shown that various amino acids can bind together into a sequence by chance to form protein molecules. Even the simplest cell is made up of many millions of various protein molecules.
Also, what many don't realize is that Miller had a laboratory apparatus that shielded and protected the individual amino acids the moment they were formed, otherwise the amino acids would have quickly disintegrated and been destroyed in the mix of random energy and forces involved in Miller's experiment.
There is no innate chemical tendency for the various amino acids to bond with one another in a sequence. Any one amino acid can just as easily bond with any other. The only reason at all for why the various amino acids bond with one another in a precise sequence in the cells of our bodies is because they're directed to do so by an already existing sequence of molecules found in our genetic code.
In Nature there are what scientists call right-handed and left-handed amino acids. However, life requires that all proteins be left-handed. So, not only do millions of amino acids have to be in the correct sequence, they also all have to be left-handed. If a right-handed amino acid gets mixed in then the protein molecules won't function. There won't be any life!
Similarly, the nucleic acids in DNA and RNA must be in a precise sequence. The sugar molecules that make-up the various nucleic acids in DNA and RNA must be right-handed. If a nucleic acid with a left-handed sugar molecule gets into the mix then nothing will work.
If the cell had evolved it would have had to be all at once. A partially evolved cell cannot wait millions of years to become complete because it would be highly unstable and quickly disintegrate in the open environment, especially without the protection of a complete and fully functioning cell membrane. And even having a complete cell doesn't necessarily mean there will be life. After all, even a dead cell is complete shortly after it dies!
Of course, once there is a complete and living cell then the genetic code and other biological mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells. The question is how could life have arisen naturally when there was no directing mechanism at all in Nature.
