  1. The Origin of Life Evidence for Creation Mike Riddle m.riddle@verizon.net www.train2equip.com www.icr.org

  2. The issue Attempts to create life The primordial soup Second Law of Thermodynamics Information and complexity Topics

  3. Chemicals formed in the “primordial soup” Chemicals bonded together to form molecules Molecules bonded together to make a living cell The Issue – The Model of Evolution + Life? = Life • About 4.6 billion years ago the earth formed

  4. “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.” Colossians 1:16 The Issue – The Model of Creation God created all life

  5. 1862 - Louis Pasteur Renamed spontaneous generation to chemical evolution History of Evolutionary Thought • Spontaneous generation - life from non-living matter

  6. AtomsThe basic unit of matter MoleculesSpecific arrangement of atoms (H2O) Amino AcidsSpecific arrangement of molecules ProteinsSpecific arrangement of amino acids Terminology

  7. Attempts to Create Life Miller Experiment Spark Chamber Input Chamber Condenser Water Vapor Forms

  8. “As the gases circulated in the chamber, sparks, representing lightning, supplied energy to drive chemical reactions. The experiment generated organic compounds including amino acids - the building blocks of proteins.” Modern Biology, Holt, Rinehart, Winston, 1993 Textbooks

  9. How did Miller know what gases were in the early earth’s atmosphere? How much of the experiment was left to chance, and how much was done using intelligent design? Were the amino acids the right type of amino acids for life? Critical Thinking Three things to analyze

  10. The Claim by Evolutionists The early earth’s atmosphere did not contain oxygen. The Atmosphere Critical Thinking Question Is there any scientific evidence to support this claim, or is it based on a belief in evolution?

  11. “…geologists know from their analysis of the oldest known rocks that the oxygen level of the early atmosphere had to be much higher than previously calculated. Analysis of these rocks, estimated to be more than 3.5 billion years old, found oxidized iron in amounts that called for atmospheric oxygen to be at least 110 times greater and perhaps up to one billion times greater than otherwise accepted.” The Atmosphere “New Evidence on Evolution of Early Atmosphere and Life,” Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Nov, 1982, pp 1329.

  12. "There is no scientific proof that Earth ever had a non-oxygen atmosphere such as evolutionists require. Earth’s oldest rocks contain evidence of being formed in an oxygen atmosphere.” The Atmosphere Harry Clemmey, Nick Badham, “Oxygen in the Atmosphere: An Evaluation of the Geological Evidence”, Geology, Vol 10, March 1982, p. 141.

  13. Oxygen and Life “Oxygen is a poisonous gas that oxidizes organic and inorganic materials on a planetary surface; it is quite lethal to organisms that have not evolved protection against it.” Peter Ward (Ph.D. Geology) and Donald Brownlee (Ph.D. Astronomy), Rare Earth, 2000, p. 245.

  14. Origin of Life • Life cannot start with oxygen in the atmosphere • Life cannot start without oxygen in the atmosphere Did life start in the ocean? Hydrolysis

  15. Miller used intelligent design Miller used a “trap” door Design and Intelligence Does a design require a designer? Evolution experiment requirements • Initial condition setup • Let the experiment run its course with NO interference

  16. Over 2,000 types of amino acids Only 20 are used in life Amino Acids

  17. “Since Miller’s beguiling picture of a pond full of dissolved amino acids under a reducing atmosphere has been discredited, a new beguiling picture has come to take its place. The new picture has life originating in a hot, deep, dark little hole on the ocean floor.” Collapse of the Miller Experiment Freeman Dyson, Origins of Life, 1999, pp. 25-26. (Dyson is a Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a member of NAS.)

  18. “Terrestrial explanations are impotent and nonviable” Origin of Life and Amino Acids William Bonner, Organic Chemist, StanfordUniversity (World’s leading homochiral researcher), UCLA conference on life’s origins, 1995.

  19. The Cell and Complexity Enormous Complexity

  20. The Cell and Complexity Boeing 747 4 1/2 million non-flying parts Billions of non-living parts

  21. What are the chances of getting all heads every time I flip a penny Probability and Life 1 head in a row? 1 in 2 2 heads in a row? 1 in 4 3 heads in a row? 1 in 8 8 heads in a row? 1 in 256 100 heads in a row? 2100 or 1030

  22. A single protein: 10191 A single cell: 1040,000 Probability • Law of Probability: 1050

  23. “If a particular amino acid sequence was selected by chance, how rare an event would this be?... The great majority of sequences can never have been synthesized at all, at any time.” Probability and Life Francis Crick, Life Itself: Its Origin and Nature, 1981, pp. 51-52.

  24. “The likelihood of life having occurred through a chemical accident is, for all intents and purposes, zero. ” Probability and Life Robert Gange, Ph.D. (research scientist with extensive research in the field of cryophysics and information systems.), Origins and Destiny, 1986, p. 77.

  25. We have to get the right atoms The atoms must be arranged in the right order They must be “left-handed” Amino Acids and Proteins COOH NH2-C-H L-isoleucine H-C-CH3 C2H5 A typical amino acid is made of 20 atoms (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen)

  26. “Scientists have been attempting to be able to determine a protein’s native conformation (or folding) by examining the amino acid sequence. Despite years of study, the ability to do this using even the fastest computers is beyond our reach… Probability and Proteins continued

  27. Using a super fast computer (1015 computations/sec) it would take 1080 seconds, which exceed the age of the universe by a factor of 60 orders of magnitude! This fact alone may give you a better perspective on the mind of God.” H. J. C. Berendsen, “Perspectives: Protein Folding. A Glimpse of the Holy Grail?” Science, 1998 Probability and Proteins

  28. LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Oct. 14, 2002 - Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of California, San Diego, have created the first computer simulation of full-system protein folding thermodynamics at the atomic-level. Computers and Protein Folding They modeled the folding of a “simple” protein of 18,000 atoms on their computers.

  29. Computers and Protein Folding NEC SX-4/32 Supercomputer Cray X1 Supercomputer Intel Paragon Supercomputer SGI Origin 3000 It took 6 months on 82 parallel processors, which amounts to 34 years of CPU time.  The cell folds this particular protein in about 10 microseconds (millionths of a second), which is 100 trillion times as fast. The fastest “computer” in the world

  30. The possibility that life arose from a pool of non-living chemicals can be examined by looking at the necessary conditions for such an event to occur. The Primordial Soup Three areas of science Chemistry and the origin of life Biology and the origin of life Physics and the origin of life

  31. Chemistry - hydrolysis Biology - amino acids Physics - - 2nd Law of Thermodynamics The Primordial Soup

  32. Energy goes from a state of usable energy to a state of less usable energy for doing work in an isolated system Second Law of Thermodynamics Complexity Decay

  33. Second Law of Thermodynamics Two Arguments Open and isolated systems Growth of a seed or embryo

  34. An open system (earth) Available energy source (sun) A way to capture and store raw energy An energy conversion mechanism Second Law of Thermodynamics 4 Necessary Conditions

  35. Second Law and Systems “There are no known violations of the second law of thermodynamics. Ordinarily the second law is stated for isolated systems, but the second law applies equally well to open systems.” John Ross, Ph.D. (Harvard scientist and evolutionist), Chemical and Engineering News, July 27, 1980, p. 40.

  36. Scientists Neil Broom (Ph.D. Chemical and Materials Engineering), How Blind Is the Watchmaker, 2001, 80. “A fundamental problem that science has never been able to solve is how to produce energy flow through the system to do this work of coding in order to produce, for example, a functioning protein. Living systems do, of course, harness energy for this purpose, but only because the required, purposefully assembled metabolic machinery is already in place and functioning.”

  37. Oxygen in the atmosphere Second Law of Thermodynamics (time) Water (hydrolysis) Amino acids (design) Evolution and Science Four things that are detrimental to the origin of life

  38. Information and Complexity

  39. Evolution model M + E + T Complexity and Information M = Matter E = Energy T = Time OI = Outside Intelligence • 1859 Charles Darwin life (complex codes) Somehow • Creation model • M + E + T + OI = life (The formula requires OI)

  40. “Since the findings of James D. Watson and Francis H. C. Crick, it was increasingly realized by contemporary researchers that the information residing in the cells is of crucial importance for the existence of life. Anybody who wants to make meaningful statements about the origin of life, would be forced to explain how the information originated. All evolutionary views are fundamentally unable to answer this crucial question.” Information and Life Werner Gitt, In the Beginning was Information, 1997, p. 99. (Dr. Gitt is the Director at the German Federal Institute of Physics and Technology)

  41. What happens when we add energy to meaningless chemicals, bits, or parts? All the parts of a Boeing 747 All the parts of a cell The Addition of Energy The principle of decay (Second Law of Thermodynamics)

  42. “More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its solution. At present all discussions on principal theories and experiments in the field either end in stalemate or in a confession of ignorance.” The Truth About Evolution Dr. Klaus Dose, “The Origin of Life: More Questions than Answers,” Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, vol. 13, no. 4 1988, p. 348.(Dose is Director, Institute for Biochemistry, Johannes Gutenberg University, West Germany)

  43. “The chances that life just occurred are about as unlikely as a typhoon blowing through a junkyard and constructing a Boeing 747.” Chandra Wickramasinghe, “Threats on Life of Controversial Astronomer,” New Scientists, 1982, p. 140 Origin of Life - Impossible

  44. Evolution ? Paul Davies, Ph.D. Physics, The 5th Miracle: The Search for the Origin and Meaning of Life, 1999, p. 18. “Many investigators feel uneasy about stating in public that the origin of life is a mystery, even though behind closed doors they freely admit they are baffled. …they worry that a frank admission of ignorance will undermine funding,…”

  45. If I tell you only part of the evidence and you believe it, you have not been taught, you have been indoctrinated. If I tell you all the evidence and you make a decision, then you have been taught. Education

  46. From: Tim Dallas, Ph.D. Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 1:13 PM Subject: RE: APS Texas Section ALERT: School Board Vote and Evolution “Dear Dr. Quarles Thank you for standing up for the theory of evolution in such a bold manner. It is best that we not allow any evidence that is contrary to this theory to be taught to our children and we certainly wouldn't want any scientific arguments that present alternative theories on the origin of the universe and biological life to be discussed. … Continued next page

  47. We also wouldn't want to explain the lack of intermediate fossils or the biochemical pathways that led from frogs to people. We might actually have to produce DNA evidence to scientifically prove this.”

  49. The origin of life by natural processes (evolution) is not possible All left-handed amino acids There is not enough time Life is too complex (information) We are all looking at the same evidence Many scientists believe in creation Neither evolution nor creation can be proven scientifically – both involve faith It is your choice which model to believe Conclusion
