A collection of apologetic and encouraging notes for Christians in need of some power-boosts from time to time. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net It was just one of those weeks, folks. What promised to be a light schedule quickly turned into a series of first world problems. Instead of complaining, I'll look for God's sovereign purposes so I can turn chaos into a Christ-centered contemplation. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=269563&view=post&blogid=9949 Sat, 29 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Before we leave Earth to explore the other planets, let's stop and consider our nearest heavenly body, the Moon. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=269146&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Evolutionary scientists claim our planet formed 4.5 billion years ago, in spite of strong evidence it's only a few thousand years old. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=269009&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 9 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Our next stop through the solar system is Venus, Earth's alleged twin. Evolution theorizes that Venus should be similar to Earth. In some ways it is... http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268882&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 2 Jul 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Over at Evolution University's astronomy department, they're busy wrestling with how to make sense of data collected from telescopes and NASA space probes in our own celestial backyard, the solar system. Senators and congressman were told that science could answer big questions about the universe's origins, if only a whiz-bang scientific payload was sent to neighboring planets. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268745&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 25 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Just when you think we're done with the stairway to life, it's the evolutionists who want to add one more step. Why would they do that? Because they know the first 12 steps are insurmountable in the timeframe they have. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268607&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400 We've shown how the biology department at Evolution University face insurmountable challenges to justifying its existence. Nothing in chemistry wants to self-replicate, nor self-organize into DNA, nor self-create molecular motors, all simultaneously. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268608&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 18 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400 The wisest mortal who ever lived instructed us to go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. A study of these lowly creatures reveals many impressive capabilities, especially when viewed as a colony. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268326&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 4 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Evolution imagines a scenario where all ten previous Steps To Life occurred in a primordial creature whose simple life is based on RNA, a molecule that holds genetic data and performs chemical reactions. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268214&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 28 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400 A basic question has to be asked. Once a cell has amino acids to form proteins, DNA and RNA to replicate instructions which build the cell, a protective membrane, and so on - where does the cell get all its energy? http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=268070&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 21 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400 The next step in the stairway to life refers to the extensive but conflicting requirements of every living cell's wall. Let's begin with the enticing analogy of an entire city protected under a large dome. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267941&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 14 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Every home, car or PC owner knows the need for maintenance; that is, if they want their stuff to be useful for a good while. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267823&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 7 May 2023 00:00:00 -0400 You should like governors and regulators. No, I'm not talking politics; I'm talking about gene regulation http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267696&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400 By now one should plainly see that evolution has zero chances of climbing any of the stairs to life. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267575&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 23 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400 In the opening chapters of Genesis, we find that God creates through division; for instance, God divided the light from darkness. Nearly any definition of life includes the ability to reproduce. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267439&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 16 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400 The 4th step on the stairway to life poses another insurmountable hurdle for the evolutionist http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267302&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 9 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400 It's a mighty steep climb from chemistry to biology. Dr. C.L. Tan identifies 12 unavoidable steps all evolutionary scientists must climb if they wish to solve for a naturalistic origin of cells... http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=267136&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 2 Apr 2023 00:00:00 -0400 We move deeper in the book of DNA's blueprints for all of life to some of its more exotic chapters. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266972&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 26 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Another corner stone in evolutionary dogma is the alleged bestial lineage humans take from chimpanzees. This idea stemmed from J.B. Lamarck in the 1800s, then popularized by Darwin's book The Descent of Man in 1871. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266849&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 19 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Perhaps, for some of you, the following scenario won't be too difficult to imagine. Consider the hapless husband who wanders into his basement, or his wife's side of the closet, and declares that most of the stuff in there is junk, because he doesn't see a purpose for it. All he sees are things that haven't been used in a long time. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266733&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of Watson and Crick's Nobel prize-winning discovery of DNA. Since then, we continue to discover astounding features in this dense information storage device. Allow me to illustrate DNA's capabilities with a made-up story about the discovery of an electronic tablet (DNA) in a deserted alien spaceship. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266570&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 5 Mar 2023 00:00:00 -0400 If you have ever attempted to loosen a bolt, you encountered chirality (ky-RAHL-ittee). Perhaps you muttered the phrase "lefty loosey, righty tighty". That's because nearly all bolts are threaded in one direction. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266409&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Before we make further progress towards deflating evolution's significance as even partially true, we need to address the seemingly untouchable argument of deep time. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266290&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 19 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0400 Evolution rests on the chance-based idea that raw matter plus undirected energy creates increasingly complex and ordered systems. http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=266139&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 12 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0400 You can blame it on the devil. He started this whole mess by posing an evil question: Yea, hath God said? http://www.Mission-Bible.Net/apps/articles/?articleid=265996&view=post&blogid=9949 Sun, 5 Feb 2023 00:00:00 -0400
