The Universe is beyond man’s control.
He did not make it.He cannot duplicate its
origin.It is here. For every effect,
there is a cause.

Evolutionary Theory Objections
• Random mutations generally cause harm to organisms and do not build complexity.
• Random and undirected processes do not seem capable of producing cellular complexity.
• The fossil record lacks “missing links.”• Chemical origin of life remains an unsolved
mystery.

The Faith of the Humanist
• Life does not come from non-life. – Cannot be observed, tested, measured or
duplicated, yet is believed. = FAITH• Every effect must have a cause. – Cannot observe, test, measure, or duplicate
anything resembling a “Big Bang” = FAITH• Matter cannot be created or destroyed only
changed in form.– Cannot create anything like a super density unit
= FAITH
