(Two immutable laws)

Modern secular science is based on materialism. This means that the majority of the scientific community believes that life originated from chemical reactions over millions of years and that there is no supernatural or spiritual forces behind the origin of life. They believe that living creatures can be produced from non-living substances; the scientific term for this is spontaneous generation. Fortunately not all scientists believe this and there is an increasing number of them who believe that there is an ordered design in creation. Dr Louis Pasteur (1822 – 1859) who was a renowned scientist and creationist proved in a laboratory the 2 following immutable laws:

1) All living things come into existence from parents,

2) Similar life forms give birth to similar life forms.

Amino acids are compounds that are the simplest units out of which proteins can be assembled. Proteins, on the other hand, are extremely complex chemicals that are built of amino acids; they are found in all plants and animals One chemist has calculated the immense odds against amino acids ever combining to form the necessary proteins by chance/undirected means; he estimated that the probability to more that 10⁶⁷ against. We know that the DNA in all living organisms contains coded hereditary information and is absolutely unique to each species. Another scientist calculated the possibility of the 15,000 atoms of a single DNA molecule left to chance as required by the evolutionary process, would go together in any of 10⁸⁷ different ways.

Breeding amongst different species always results in sterile offspring, plant or animal. Also, never has a laboratory been able to produce a living organism from non living substances and do you know what? They never will!!! Why?? The Bible says in Colossians 1:17 “And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.” Even the simplest blade of grass cannot be reproduced artificially. Scientists know what’s in a blade of grass – cellulose, chlorophyll, water, etc but only God has the power to give life. “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1.
