BEL now makes available an excerpted version of the two-hour Forty Years in the Wilderness DVD! The 50-minute version is called Focus on the Strategy II, the sequel to Bob Enyart's blockbuster analysis of the immoral and failed strategy of National Right to Life.
Warning: False Barak Quotes
False Obama quote: "I will stand with the Muslims..."
If you care about your credibility as a Christian, do not use such quotes circulating on the Internet. Please reject anonymous sources and don't spread false accusations. Ask God for wisdom (James 1:5). Obama is wicked for many reasons including for supporting those who slaughter unborn children. But it harms the credibility of the Christians who misquote him, who are then also doubted when they testify of Jesus Christ.
Did Life Evolve?
Can life begin by chance?
When an evolutionist claims that natural selection explains the origin of life,
he's left out an enormous prerequisite. Natural selection can't select until there is something for it to select. That's true for the start of life, and for any new proteins to evolve. At KGOV.com, we find the following statement almost universally ignored by evolutionists: Natural selection cannot select something until it exists.
And by Darwinian naturalism, whatever is to be preserved must first come into existence by either random mutation or chance chemical reactions. Therefore, probability is directly relevant to the feasibility of evolution, although Darwinists widely ignore this mathematical discipline. So, can life (or even one of the countless unique proteins) evolve by chance? Remember, before natural selection can preserve them, THEY FIRST MUST COME INTO EXISTENCE!
So, let's start with a far easier question, to help us comprehend this enormous difficulty: Let's give the evolutionist their claimed fifteen billion years of the universe, and see if a random number generator can get the 26-letter English alphabet in order by chance. This is a parallel to Life Beginning, or random mutations producing a Brand New Protein, (which natural selection could then propagate).
To demonstrate this challenge, one of the world's premiere software engineers (you probably have used his software without knowing it) from Boulder, Colorado developed a program for us, called Evolve.exe So far, we have run 57 trillion iterations, and our best result so far has been getting fourteen letters in their correct position, twice, as follows:
57,824,895,700,000 trials, that's over fifty-seven trillion attempts! Twice we hit 14 correct:
If you run this program (we've run it for ten years), you'll get a feel for the harsh reality of probabilities. How long will it take to get all 26 letters correct?
One year contains about 31,557,600 seconds. If your PC runs Evolve at 100,000 trials per second, you'll see 3,155,760,000,000 iterations in one year, i.e., 3.16 trillion trials per year. The probability of getting each letter in its correct position is 1 out of 26 tries, and so it will take (on average) 26 to the 26th power (26^26) trials to get the entire alphabet correct (and then natural selection would have something to work on, let's say, like the first life, or a brand new protein). At 100,000 trials per second it should take about: 26^26 (trials) / 3,155,760,000,000 (trials/year) = 1,950,756,580,000,000,000,000,000 years!
That's 1.95 septillion years! And evolutionists claim the entire universe is only about 15,000,000,000 (15 billion) years old. We're missing a serious number of zeroes here for feasible alphabet evolution.
Just imagine for the actual evolution of life, if after a septillion-trillion years, a single protein molecule formed in nature, and then nature, being its brutal self, simply destroyed it. What a waste of time!
Let's have one billion people run the KGOV Evolve program in parallel (averaging 100,000 trials/second), then it will only take about 1,950,756,580,000,000 years = 1.95 quadrillion years, still far longer than the entire supposed age of the universe, and you'd still only have a 26-letter alphabet, which is nothing as compared to the complexity of a simple protein!
So, here is the sentence that most evolutionists we debate refuse to acknowledge: Natural selection cannot work until it has something to select! Thus the probability is wildly unachievable in our universe for random chemical reactions to produce the first life, or for mutation to produce a brand new protein.
Your PC can help us demonstrate the significance of probability regarding evolution. Download Evolve.exe and make a few billion attempts at getting the alphabet in order, by random chance. We will pay $1,500 to the first person to get 15 letters correct!
