A Brief Review of July 13, 2005:

I conclude: I was alive and driving for 4 hours and 20 minutes

How long was I driving? = 12:30 – 8:10 = 4 hours and 20 minutes

My Trip to Sault Ste. Marie, MI

Leaving Ann ArborEnter Rt. 23 North

My Watch Said: 8:10 AM

Mackinaw City

My Watch Said: 12:30 PM

I still have to go

Background:


My Life Journey On This Earth

I Became An Indian Citizen1947

The Science Said: Earth was 3.4

Billion Years Old

I Became A US Citizen1976

I still have to live


Billion Years Old

What can I deduce?


I conclude: I am over 1.2 billion years old.

I am a really, really, old man.Older and more valuable than any antique!

-- According to Science --

I Deduce The Following From These Facts:How long was I living = 4.6 – 3.4 = 1.2 Billion Years

Isaiah 9:6 - “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.”

Father of Eternity = ABI-YD = du-ybayba = ABI = Father ofDu = = YD = Eternity or Eternal

Father of Eternity ==> Creator of Eternity

“For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalms 33:9


1 Corinthians 15:41-42“One [the] sun’s glory, and another [the] moon’s glory, and another [the] stars’ glory; for star differs from star in glory. Thus also [is] the resurrection of the dead.”


Jude 13“… Wandering stars (s = asteres planetai) to whom has been reserved the gloom of darkness for eternity.”

Believers are compared to “stars” at resurrection.

The false teachers who crept unaware are compared to “wandering stars” or ‘planets that appear like stars,’ in this life.

This is a note for the next two slides:

You are to stare at the ‘white spot’ at the center of the slide for about 30 seconds. Try not to blink. After that click for the next slide and keep on staring at the slide and see what is not there.

If you see a U.S. flag, then you can be sure about the correctness of the saying, “Seeing is believing,” (SIB), or the demand, “Prove it to me’ (PITM).

“Oh Say, Can You See!…

… The Flag Was Still There.”

Oh! What Do We See?

The Flag Is Still Here!!!


Speed of light = 186,000 Miles/Sec.

A Light Year = The distance traveled by light in one year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 x 186,000 miles

The Sun is about eight minutes away from the earth = 8 x 60 x 186,000 miles

The nearest star is over two (2) Light Years from the earth.

Star-X

Earth

At least 2 light years-- 4 years is the distance of the next star to us, except the Sun.

Note for the next two slides:

When we see the Stars 1 & 2 as colliding each other, they are far away in different directions. One is six light years and the other four light years. But it appears to us as occupying the same space. The Babylonian science, Astrology, is based on such faulty observations. Therefore, the Children of Israel were told not to give any attention to such sciences. We read about it as ‘Science falsely called.’


Psalms 19:1,3“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse shows the work of his hands…There is no speech and there are no words, yet their voice is heard.”

Records of observations which mixed astronomy with speculations (Astrology), resulted in the case of any two successive or concurrent events, in the conclusion that one was the cause of the other.==> The reasoning from the FACT (PARTICULAR) to the GENERAL. The calculation falsified the data.==> The beginning of erroneous “cause and effect” theory.



Of the motions of Stars} Moon goes around the earth -- about 26 days Earth goes around the Sun -- about 365 days Sun goes around another star -- about 2 million years The Milky Way goes around some other body



Ezekiel 1:15-20“… and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel…”


God’s Method (Way) of Creation:

Genesis 1“God said, and it was so.”

Psalms 33:9“For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.”



Revelation 4:11“You are worthy, O our Lord and [our] God, to receive glory and honor and power; for you have created all things, and for your will they were and they have been created.”



Psalms 33:6 tells us that He created the heavens by His word and the hosts of heaven by the breath of His mouth.

God created where there was nothing before.



The objects of creation were the visible and invisible things. (Hebrews 11:1; Romans 1:20)

Visible ==> The limitation of man = The visible and hearing spectrum

Invisible ==> The spectrum of waves that are beyond man’s senses.



God’s creates not by parts that obey the laws of nature. God’s creative act includes the laws that govern the materials and things He creates.

When man designs, he designs things that are to obey the existing laws of nature and understanding the limitations of the objects.(The infrastructure: Material Strength: Tensile, Compression, Torsion, Shear, Brittleness)


Man designs things by parts to fit them together.

God does not design by parts, He says and that comes into existence.

Man designs to be reproduced by others in the likeness of the original.


God made man in His likeness.

God made man not by parts.

The method of making or creating man was:

By the method of Compressed Dust

The method of creating the woman was from

Adam’s rib.

No man reproduces by the method of creation by God. Adam begot a son in his likeness, and not in the likeness of God or from the dust of the ground (Genesis 5).


God’s creation reproduces by growing into its fullness using the elementary materials – minerals, nutrition, etc.

Therefore, “The child grew…” (Luke 1:80)

When a child is conceived, it only receives the minerals, nutrition, etc. through the mother, but does not even receive a drop of its mother’s blood. All parts come into being and not brought in and assembled. Then it grows.


An intelligent designer is the one who invents using existing materials and technologies to obey the existing laws of nature.

God’s creation is a WONDER because even the laws are created while creating things.


Age of The Earth:

“…The photolysis of water results in hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen escaping, thus leaving us with molecular oxygen…There are approximately 1021 grams of oxygen in the present atmosphere, about 1017 grams are being produced each year, calculating these quantities through gives approximately 10,000 years or so. Thus, most of the oxygen present is due to biological organisms.”

Dr. H.R. Hulett, Stanford UniversityIrreversible Thermodynamics and the Origin of LifeProceedings of the Third International Biophysics Congress, MIT1974

Photolysis = Chemical decomposition induced by radiant energy

“This is a very puzzling fact… All the proteins that have been investigated, obtained from animals and from plants, from higher organisms and from very simple organisms – bacteria, molds, even viruses – are found to have been made of L-amino acids.”

Linus Pauling; General Chemistry (3rd Ed.), 1970

The Mystery of the Left-handed Molecules in Proteins:

(Note: There are D-amino acids in dead things. L – for ‘levo,’ and D – for ‘dextro.’)


The Mystery of the Left-handed Molecules in Proteins:

“This great character is, perhaps, the only sharp dividing line which we can draw at present between the chemistry of dead and living nature.”

Louis Pasteur; quoted by A.I. Oparin; “Life, Its Nature, Origin and Development.”


Is That Bird’s Brain Packaging?Or

God’s Wisdom?

A manufacturer of a highly perishable product wants a porous container to pack his products.

Did the first pair of birds know this fact, so that their progenies will succeed to live and procreate?

God’s Self-revelation: He has spoken (Heb. 1:1-2)Is That Bird’s Brain Packaging?

OrGod’s Wisdom?

Hypothesis Testing:

H0: The first pair of birds knew about packaging of eggs with porous material (ie. Evolutionary Process).

H1: God created them with the porous packaging of eggs to “be fruitful and multiply” after its kind.

A Bird Is A Seed Picker

Note for the next slide:

The Eggshell is porous for the embryo to breath. Virus can get through these tiny holes, let us call it ‘breathing holes,’ and will kill the embryo. If the shell is non-porous the embryo will die, because of the lack of oxygen. Being porous, virus will enter and kill the embryo. How many thousands of years the rooster and the hen took to figure this original problem and the shortcomings of their presumed solution? If it takes thousands of years for an evolutionary process to take effect, the original rooster and hen are dead and gone. The result is the extinction of the species, called chicken, or any other bird.

Now we believe in creation. God made the rooster and the hen to lay eggs that are porous. He also filled it with two things, the yoke and the white. Egg-white is made-up of a chemical that is highly attracted to iron and is separated from the iron rich yoke with a membrane. When a virus enters through one of the holes in the egg-shell, the chemical in the egg-white steals the iron in the virus. This will result in the death of the virus before reaching the yoke. If there are too many viruses coming through the breathing holes in the egg-shell, then the egg-white will be saturated with the dead bodies of viruses and we get a rotten egg. This great provision for propagation of the species from the first day of its existence (5th day in Genesis 1 in this case) is a definite show of God’s creation and not of evolution.

God’s Wisdom?

Porous eggshell: Oxygen Bacteria

Iron rich yolk

Egg white: Conalbumin - Protein attracted to iron Virtually no iron

Decision:Reject H0 in favor of H1


“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness (excellency – KJV) of the power may be of God, and not from us: every way afflicted, but not straitened (distressed – KJV); seeing no apparent issue, but our way not entirely shut up; persecuted, but not abandoned; cast down, but not destroyed.” 2 Cor. 4:7-10



2 Corinthians 5:17“So if any one [be] in Christ, [there is] a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new.”

There is a law In Christ No one can change the laws of God John 6:44; 14:6 (Read)


John Looked Around and Saw: The Beauty of The New Creation

Revelation 21:1-2“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”


John Looked Around and Saw The Beauty of The New Creation

Like the first day of this creation: No sun No moon Glory of God enlightens Lamp is the Lamb

God has spoken, do we hear the beauty of what He said?
