11 insights of young earth creation (YEC) scientist , Jonathan Sarfati, PhD – religion of evolution

Jonathan Sarfati graduated from Victoria University of Wellington with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry with two physics papers substituted, and a Ph.D. in Chemistry, based on his thesis: A Spectroscopic Study of some Chalcogenide Ring and Cage Molecules. He has also had papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals including co-authoring in the journal Nature on high-temperature superconductors in 1987, when he was 22 .

Jonathan Sarfati weighs in on the religion of evolution.

“Many people have the false belief that “science” has proven the earth to be billions of years old, and that every living thing descended from a single cell which itself is the result of chance combination of chemicals.”

“Science deals with repeatable observations in the present, while evolution/long age ideas are based on assumptions from outside science about the unobservable past.”

“It is not a case of religion/creation/subjectivity vs. science/evolution/objectivity. Rather, it is the biases of the religions of Christianity and of humanism interpreting the same facts in diametrically opposite ways.”

“A recent survey published in the leading science journal Nature conclusively showed that the National Academy of Science is anti-God to the core.”

“Upon seeing the wonderful works of design in this world, the intellectually honest person must conclude that they were made by a great Designer.”

“…genetic information cannot be translated except with many different enzymes, which are themselves encoded. So the code cannot be translated except via products of translation, a vicious circle that ties evolutionary origin-of-life theories in knots.”

“The genetic code also has vital editing machinery that is itself encoded in the DNA. This shows that the system was fully functional from the beginning—another vicious circle for evolutionists.”

“Yet another vicious circle is that the enzymes that make the amino acid histidine themselves contain histidine.”

“A recent world conference on “The Origin of Homochirality and Life” made it clear that the origin of this handedness is a complete mystery to evolutionists.”

“The chemistry goes in the wrong direction! Polymerization reactions release water, so by the well-known law of mass action, excess water breaks up polymers. The long ages postulated by evolutionists simply make the problem worse, because there is more time for water’s destructive effects to occur.”

“…the real bad news is the faith in evolution (everything made itself), which overrides objective science.”
