“The Origin of Species…”

With the mention of nature and the universe, most people would think of Evolution and the Big Bang Theory.

Not surprising, since we have had those 2 hypotheses ‘rammed down our throats’ since primary school. They are very stong belief systems in our society!

However, neither should encourage order and rationality by their nature. If true, both should be intrinsically random and chaotic.

Darwin’s book in the title promises  revelation as to the origin of life. However, the book mostly speaks of Natural Selection, something which almost no-one would disagree about. As for origin of life, there still is no evidence of a living organism, no matter how simple, ever being produced from non-life, even up to this day.

For me, the only feasible explanation is that God created nature and the universe with order and rationality, just as he himself is.

God also, in the process, created Science. Nowadays it is as if we have taken over Science as if it is our own creation, giving no credit to God.

What do you think?

Sighting of Dinosaurs

Secular evolution has it that dinosaurs died off 65 million years ago, and that no human has ever seen a living dinosaur. However, if you replace the word dinosaur with dragon, then it becomes a different matter.

It was in 1841 that dragons were renamed dinosaurs, and the search for their bones was begun in earnest. Now literally billions of their bones in almost all countries of the world have been found.

St George and the dragon

As for sightings, there has been much evidence of that through history. St George and the dragon would be the best known. Great Britain has the St George cross on its flag, even though George was from Turkey. Apparently he was an officer in the Roman army for one of the Caesars, and had converted from Paganism to Christianity.

A book that helped me understand dragons more is displayed. It has many pictures of drawings and etchings of dragons in many countries of the world from over the past centuries. There is no way that people could have just drawn them out of their imagination, or even from seeing scattered bones on the ground. The only reasonable conclusion is that people saw them directly, probably at a distance, and then drew them.

Dinos on Noah’s ark? 

There only needed to be a male and a female from each ‘kind’ after all. The largest would have fitted in, not as fully-grown adults, but as young dinosaurs, later to mature and mate. Then, over time, natural selection would have diversified them into many more varieties, just as with dogs, cats, livestock etc.

Naval architects calculate that the capacity of the ark was enormous, at about 15,000 tonnes, so lots of room for fodder and the various animal ‘kinds’ as described in the Bible. That will be another Post…

Blood cells still present in a T Rex bone?

One of my most fascinating reads some years ago was from the prestigious ‘Science’ journal in 2005. Dr Mary Schweitzer, a palaeontologist from the US, presented pictorial proof of what she was astounded to find when she cut open a T Rex femur bone many times – soft tissue in which there were blood cells, blood vessels and soft elastic tissue. That is incredible! Realistically, the T Rex could only have died some few thousand years ago, and definitely not 65 million!

Bible’s mention of a couple of dinosaur-like creatures.

One of these is in Job 40:15 and is  called ‘behemoth’ (‘beast of beasts’) and the description could easily fit a sauropod herbivorous dinosaur. Its tail ‘sways like a cedar’, and its ‘bones are tubes of bronze’.

People like me who believe in Intelligent Design and the universal flood in the days of Noah are convinced that dinosaur graveyards are the result of that catastrophic flood not so many thousands of years ago. That’s why dino fossils have been found alongside ordinary objects like turtle shells, willow leaves, figs, crocodile bones and redwood cones etc.
