    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 10. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Day the Mathematicians, Physicists, and Computer Scientists s Gave Up Evolution as a Hopeless Cause.

    In 1999, the editor of the prestigious scientific magazine Nature, Henry Gee wrote "it is effectively impossible to link fossils into chains of cause and effect in any valid way. To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story — amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific."

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 9. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Let Me Tell You About Your Operating System.

    Thanks to our discovery of DNA, RNA and all things associated with them, and what we know of how it operates, we now know that every living system, just like your computer, is powered by its own operating system to power what it is and what it does. Until that discovery we used to think that our universe was made up of just matter and energy. Now we know living things, besides energy and matter, also need information. A new species, for example, needs its own new operating system before it comes into existence. Understanding that has caused those evolutionary scientists, who deny the existence of God, to face a problem which they don’t have an answer for – how could such life come into existence if there is no God. As leading Harvard Paleontologist and Evolutionary biologist, Stephen Jay Gould, a leading proponent of Neo-Darwinism, declared in 1980, because of this problem: ‘neo-Darwinism is effectively dead, despite its persistence as textbook orthodoxy. Neo-Darwinism is the name given to the progression of the theory of evolution after Darwin’s original idea of natural selection, was accepted as being impossible back in the late 1800s. I discussed Neo-Darwinism in Parts 4 & 6 of this series.

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 8. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Every living thing a wonder of atomic engineering.

    Darwin admitted that if an irreducibly complex form of life was found, then his Theory of Evolution would be proven to be a failure. Richard Dawkins agreed, although he lifted the bar that Darwin had set. Perhaps Dawkins was trying to keep his life’s work of promoting the still unproven theory of evolution alive.  Today Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has remained unproven and increasingly dubious because over the 175 years since his Theory was announced it has not only remained unproven but because with every new scientific discovery the Theory becomes more and more implausible. Had Professor Behe found the Evolution killing irreducibly complex life form that would bring Darwin’s macro-evolution (the explanation for the creation of new species) down. Reluctantly leading atheist and agnostic scientists, James Shapiro, Cavalier-Smith and Stephen Jay Gould seem, reluctantly, to be on the brink of having to agree with him. They certainly don’t disagree with him. Here’s why.

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 7. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism –Darwin’s and Dawkin’s Mousetrap Problem.

    In my previous programmes I’ve looked at serious problems with Darwin’s still unproven Theory of Evolution. Problems that he knew about when his book On the Origin of Species was published. Here’s another one. The late Sir Charles Darwin wrote in his book:  If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.’ So the question for me to now consider is has such an irreducibly complex life form that did not evolve been found to exist?

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 6. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism –Science Says New Animals Just Suddenly Appeared.

    I think I’m probably right in assuming that most of you have heard of the Big Bang. It says that first there was nothing and then it exploded and became our universe. But have you heard of the Big Life Explosions. They happened mainly in the Cambrian period - 542 to 488.3 million years ago. But they also happened in other periods as well. When they happened winged insects, birds, flowering plants, mammals, and many other groups appeared suddenly in the fossil records. The sudden appearance of these new life forms had no connection to previously existing life forms. In other words this life wasn’t there one moment, and then it was. Did it arrive through Darwin’s process of evolution? There’s absolutely no evidence to support that theory about how these life forms appeared. Darwin knew that his theory had a serious problem here. What did he do to accommodate this in his Theory to stop it falling to pieces?

    29 SEPT

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 4. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Darwin’s Guide: How to Turn a North American Black Bear into a Whale.

    DARWIN WROTE IN THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES that North American black bears had been seen "swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water." What did this have to do with the subject of his book? "Even in so extreme a case as this," Darwin continued, "if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale." Critics poked fun at this, and Darwin removed it from later editions, but he defended it privately. "The bear case has been well laughed at, and disingenuously distorted by some into my saying that a bear could be converted into a whale," he wrote in an 1860 letter. "As it offended persons, I struck it out in the second edition; but I still maintain that there is no especial difficulty in a bear's mouth being enlarged to any degree useful to its changing habits, — no more difficulty than man has found in increasing the crop of the pigeon, by continued selection, until it is literally as big as the whole rest of the body.” So wrote Jonathon Wells in his book Zombie Science. But Darwin’s Theory of Evolution had problems. Problems that he knew and worried about from day one and they were as big as a whale. In fact the first and biggest , most threatening problem to his Theory of Evolution that he knew about was as big as a Blue Whale – or a 200 ton aquatic American black bear.

    CYKIAE Season 15 Part 3. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism - Darwin's Voyage of Discovery.

    Now I’m about to enter into a discussion of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. I’ll be putting material that doesn’t agree with that theory, and that’s very brave of me. Maybe insanely brave. Maybe mad. John Lennox, in his book, God’s Undertaker explained why recounting this story: A leading Chinese palaeontologist Jun-Yuan Chen ran into this problem when visiting the USA in 1999. His work on the remarkable discoveries in Chengjiang of strange fossil creatures led him to question the orthodox evolutionary line. In true scholarly fashion he mentioned his criticisms in his lectures but they elicited very little response. This lack of reaction surprised him and so he eventually asked one of his hosts what was wrong. He was told that scientists in the USA did not like to hear such criticism of evolution. To this he gave the delightful reply that it seemed to him that the difference between the USA and China was: 'In China we can criticize Darwin, but not the government; in America you can criticize the government, but not Darwin.' This is in line with the view in England also it would seem from my last programme, when I quoted Richard Dawkins saying that anyone who claims not to believe in evolution that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but he said he didn’t wish to consider that possibility.
