This is Chapter 1 of the Book of Love, by Yahchanan
-- INTRODUCTION --
It seems like everyone
has their own personal interpretation of why things are
the way they are. Like,
everyone can see a dinosaur bone -- but there are many different
explanations of how, and when, it got there. Some people's explanations
are fundamentally different than
some other people's. We all see the same universe around us, but we all believe
in different things. We all live in our own little worlds. What is
real?? What is right? Why don't we KNOW what is real?
The fundamental question is: did we get here through creation,
or, evolution? That is
the most important question which every human
must answer in his or her lifetime. Next to this, everything else is just a minor
detail. Indeed, almost every decision a person makes every day is based on how he
or she answers this question. Each person's personal reality flows from this most
basic of all questions.
Perhaps you think you already have everything figured out. Nearly
everyone thinks so. We all live in the same universe, right? There is only one reality?
Well, then, why do we all
live in our own little worlds? We would all describe reality differently. Since
we all have come to a different conclusion, does anyone really have anything figured
out? You can get millions of different opinions, and no more
than one of them can be correct. But then, how can you figure out anything
unless you understand entropy?? You
can't! Creation or evolution? What do I believe in? Entropy!!
I am an Entropist. Read on .....
What if you decide
the question is too hard, and you can't learn the answer? Then you still have to
live your life according to some principles which you decide. If evolution turns
out to be true, then you did well. If creation turns out to be true, then you will
go to hell. This is because the scriptures plainly teach us the rules we have to
live by in order to avoid hell. Whatever rules and principles you decided on are
just not good enough. You can live your life as well as you can, thinking that
if creation is true, then god will see that you are a "good" person. And so you
think you will go to heaven, if there is one.
But it just doesn't work that way. If creation is true, then
the scriptures are undoubtedly true. What they say is that you must do
certain things to be
saved. If you don't do those things, it does not matter how good of a person you
think you are, it
does not matter what you are taught, it does not matter whether you are a murderer,
or if society says you are a righteous person - you are going to hell. If you choose
to not decide between evolution and creation, you still have to decide how to live
your life from day to day. Being "good" according to your definition of "good", and
hoping for the best, means that you have decided on evolution. There is no in-between.
The main problem with this creation-versus-evolution debate is that each side keeps putting forth evidence to bolster their case. They are always trying to prove something which cannot be proven. And both sides are using the same evidence. But all they come up with is circumstantial arguments and small details. I will not do that. I will not try to prove whether one side is better than the other.
So. Creation claims that
the entire universe was created on purpose, by an outside intelligence; while
evolution claims that the universe and everything we see in it got here
by accident. And there is no alternative; it has
to be one or the other. On purpose, or, by accident.
Creation provides a couple of things that are hard to swallow.
The thing that bothers me about a literal six-day creation is the observation
that galaxies are so far away, and appear to be interacting on large time scales - and
light takes a long time to get here from there. But those are only details,
and it is not possible to know the answer to every question. They bother me, but
they do not contradict any law of physics. Who's to say in what manner the universe
was stretched out, if it was created? I have a
Genesis page which provides a possible answer to this
question.
Another thing that bothers me are the many seeming contradictions
in the scriptures. For example, when the Israelites were crossing into
the promised land, they were reminded of the ten commandments. Including, "You shall not
kill". Then, they were immediately told to commit genocide. Seems like quite
a contradiction. How could they obey both things?
Also, the idea that the universe was created is appalling!
It means that someone owns His creation - this universe, and us.
Me! That means we (you) (me) have
to answer to Him. Until you can create your own universe and move out of His, He
gets to set the laws. Are you ready to face that? What will happen if you have to
meet your maker today? What happens when you meet the judge who re-plays
every tiny detail of your life? When everyone gets to know your every thought?
When all secrets are revealed? The prospect is not comforting
to me.
In contrast, evolution is very comfortable. It means: I am my own
boss. No one to answer to except myself. Whatever I think is right, IS right. If I want
to tell a lie, it is okay. Evolution means that I am the epitomy of the
universe - the greatest god who has
ever lived. Survival-of-the-fittest means if I kill off my enemies, I deserve
to be the winner.
The bully is better than the meek. Only the strong survive.
It is very easy to believe in evolution: the vast majority of scientists and
schools and books
and people tell you to believe in it. And, answering to ourselves for our sins is easy
because we define what a sin is. And, evolution means another very good
thing - it means we
don't have to contemplate the alternative - which is appalling! People like that.
What it all boils down to is; the evolutionist believes that when you die, you
never have to wake up and get judged. Many people fervently hope that is the case.
Most of us don't want to be judged. That is why so many people gladly believe in
evolution, because it offers them an alternative.
When I read the evolutionist's literature I think: "Wow, that's really logical and believable. It must be right". And then when I read the creationist's literature, I think: "Wow, that's really logical and believable. It must be right". Huh? So what IS right? Both sides are telling me what they want me to believe. Both sides are ignoring evidence which makes their case difficult. What should I do? What should I believe in?? Entropy! Entropy is something I can experience and observe, and I have already run experiments with it. Evolution or creation, whichever is true, happened in the past. And so I cannot observe nor experiment with or even KNOW anything about them. But I can observe that there is no evolution going on now, and yes, there is de-volution going on now.
Both evolution and organized religion are alternatives to the true scripture.
Evolution says nothing was created. Christians accept creation, since it can't be
realisticly denied. But they pretend they have the authority to change the laws we get
judged by. They have provided an alternate set of laws from the laws explicitly spelled
out in the scripture. Personally, I believe the christians will all go to hell if
creation is true. Scripture spells out the laws the Creator expects us to obey. And I
don't think that He would change those laws just because some humans demand it of Him.
It's been said that science and religion are about the same things, but they
go about finding the answer in different ways. Both attempt to discover the underlying cause
and order in the universe. Science demands observation and experimentation to determine facts,
and demands that its ideas be falsifiable. Organized religion ultimately rests
on untestable
faith. But both of those premises are wrong! What is called 'Modern Science' states that the
big bang and evolution are facts, but neither is testable nor observable. All of the evidence
given to "prove" them can also be explained in different ways. And 'Modern Religion' demands
faith, because they do not believe in the scriptures and therefore do not have a leg to stand
on. But scripture says that you have no excuse for not believing in creation. It demands that
you look at the universe around you and ask where else it could have come from? Scripture wants you to look at the evidence and prove for yourself that the universe HAD to have been created, or else it could not possibly be here. And that is what entropy proves to us. One of the most fundamental Laws of science, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, actually forbids evolution.
-- ENTROPY --
Yes, it is true. The Second Law (entropy) states that heat never goes
from a cold place to a warm place, unless you force it to. In summer you
have to apply work in an intelligent manner
to get heat from the inside of your air-conditioned home to the outside, where the
air is much warmer. To move the heat to a warmer place
means that your electric
bill will be very high. Then in winter you heat your house. And now,
the heat always quickly goes outside where it is colder. It has nothing to do with
the house - heat always goes to a cooler place from where it is.
Thousands of scientists working for years have never, ever, seen heat go spontaneously (by itself) from a cold place to a warm place. Millions of people have lived on this planet for many years, and we never see heat going from a cold place to a hot place by itself. Heat always moves spontaneously from a warm place to a cold place (which is how your car works). This heat will continue moving until both places are the same temperature. You know this is true, everyone knows it is true, and that is why it is a LAW of Physics - not some mere theory. This is REAL science. Entropy is observed every day, it has been experimented on and with thousands of times, and it is falsifiable.
And even though it is a Law of Thermodynamics (thermodynamics
= the study of the motions of heat), it also nicely describes how the universe
works. This is because the Laws of Thermodynamics were discovered and described by
people working in the field of thermodynamics, and later it was found that they are really the "Laws of Energy". They pertain to everything. Entropy is "The Law of the Universe".
For example, information gathering and storage requires that you take randomly positioned
molecules and arrange them in an order that contains information (in a form that
can be read by a human or a machine). Disorder never organizes itself into meaningful
information. This is the same as heat always moving to a cold place. You have to do work
in an intelligent manner to get information organized. And guess what?
You also have to do work to
erase the information you have stored. Therefore you will generate heat in creating,
and in destroying, any informaton. Every process increases
entropy (the random heat and disorder in the universe).
You have probably heard the Second Law of Thermodynamics is difficult to understand. It is not true. But those who do understand realize in an instant the religion of evolution is impossible. The Second Law proves it. Plain and simple, the Second Law of Thermodynamics says it is impossible for something to organize by accident. Some one has to do it. Then it MUST run down if the creator does not maintain the order. It can not maintain itself by accident. And even more impossible for it to increase in complexity by accident. It can not happen. The only thing hard to understand is that people still believe in evolution!!
This Second Law of Thermodynamics which I am talking about is the same inviolable Law of Physics which the experts always quote in order to prove there is not and can never be a perpetual-motion machine. If accidental evolution was possible, accidental perpetual-motion would be also. Since no one has ever shown how to create a perpetual-motion machine on purpose, you can be sure it does not happen by accident.
Entropy is formally defined with an isolated system, and as the behavior of the system as a whole. So I will redefine it for the purposes of us. ALL real-world processes increase the entropy. The Second Law says that energy will always flow to a region of less energy. Period. It does not matter if the place is isolated, closed, or open. The ONLY way to get entropy to decrease is by purposeful, intelligent action from outside the system.
The universe is larger than we can see, and it is smaller than we can see.
Amazing! And yet it appears that the most wonderful, complicated thing in the
entire universe is the human being. I am more complex and more difficult to design
and build than a super-cluster of galaxies. Wow. It requires information to build
me, and even to build an amoeba or a lily. But galaxies kinda fall together almost
by themselves. Where did the information come from? Entropy declares it does not
arise by chance, and it cannot generate itself. Information must be generated by intelligence.
This image gives you an idea of how entropy works. Entropy causes everything in the left column to become like that in the center. And entropy forbids that in the center to become like that in the right column. "Information" includes knowledge and intelligence. "Gradient" refers to a difference in something. For example, an area where one side is warmer than the other side. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the heat will always go to the cooler area, and it will keep flowing until everything is at exactly the same temperature (no more gradient) - and then everything will stay at exactly the same temperature, heat cannot flow anymore. "Homogenized" means once things get mixed up, they stay that way forever.
ENTROPY ILLUSTRATED:
Someone says: "We are made of molecules, that proves that energy does turn into molecules (matter)". We do know that matter is composed of condensed energy. But no, that only proves that molecules exist. It does not prove how they came to exist. We analyze spectra of stars billions of light-years away (and therefore billions of years in the past), and so we know that entropy has always existed and always ruled the universe. Yet the evolutionist insists that upwards evolution has been occurring all this time on the earth. How incongruent.
Here is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional box full of a gas (which is similar to earth's atmosphere). Notice that all of the molecules of nitrogen (red squares) are organized into the left side of the box, and all of the molecules of oxygen (blue circles) are organized into the right half of the box. Entropy does not allow this situation to occur by accident. These illustrations should remind you of Maxwell's Demon, which I hope you have learned about by now.
At room temperature the molecules are flying around, some very slowly, some as fast as 1000 miles per hour. They are constantly colliding with each other and with the walls of the box. Entropy quickly mixes them up. All of the organization is lost, and every section of the box becomes like the other sections. They each have an equal number of oxygen molecules as nitrogen molecules, and the same number of total molecules (unless you choose a very small section).
You as an intelligent person can put a wall in the middle of the box. The wall has a small door in the middle of it. You can see when a nitrogen molecule approches the door from the right, and you quickly open the door to let it through to the left side. Then you quickly close the door again. You also open the door when an oxygen molecule is heading from the left to the right (as shown). In this manner you eventually re-organize all the molecules on the left and the right. But you must have the wall in the middle to keep them organized, otherwise entropy will quickly mix them up again. This is a perfect demonstration of entropy. It perfectly demonstrates that negative entropy absolutely requires intelligent intervention from outside the system.
Now the box is the universe which we live in. We currently have extreme amounts of negative entropy in this universe. Where did all of that neg-entropy come from? It MUST have come from intelligent intervention from outside the universe (from outside of the box), for that is the only possibility allowed by the Law.
There is a poster which sums it up nicely: "Big Bang Theory - In the beginning there was nothing.... which exploded!" The person who denies a Creator must say that once upon a time there was nothing, absolutely nothing. Zero. No time, no space, no energy, no matter. Then, suddenly, there it was! Where did it come from? Nowhere! How did it get there? By itself! The whole universe just popped into existence without a cause! Nothing turned into something, completely by accident!
Think about the big bang scenario: All the mass of the universe packed into a singularity. That singularity MUST be a black hole, so massive that nothing can escape from it, not even light. So how can the whole universe escape? The whole universe escaped from itself!! The more massive the black hole is, the harder it is for anything to escape. The whole thing sounds preposterous, but let's consider it anyways:
The three genies of the big bang are: Inflation, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy. There is not the slightest bit of evidence indicating that any of these exist, yet the modern cosmologists always speak of them as facts. They are imaginary goblins. The big bang is broken, and can not exist without inventing these three genies. The fact that these imaginary genies had to be invented strongly indicates the big bang is imaginary. But since there is no alternative (except creation, which they reject), they prop up the failed model with epicycles. The only way their big bang will work is to violate all the established Laws of Physics.
One thing the cosmologists like to do lately is bandy about their picture of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, and claim it PROVES the big bang. But they ignore a couple of very important points. First, the temperature differences are very much smaller than required in order to arrive at our current universe (according to their own big-bang calculations). Indeed, the first satellite (COsmic Background Explorer - COBE) could not see them, even though it was specifically designed to do just that. They had predicted the big bang would leave a certain background, and it wasn't there. They released an image which apparently showed these background fluctuations, but they were also quick to point out that was NOT what the picture actually showed. The media made a frenzy of course, and the facts were quickly "forgotten". So instead of being good scientists and abandoning their "theory" which had zero evidence to support it, they spent millions of more taxpayer dollars to build a far more sensitive satellite (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe - WMAP) in an all-out effort to find ANYTHING, and thereby save face (and make their house payments).
Second, this background radiation is light that was supposedly released when the universe became cool enough, according to the bigbang model. The universe supposedly reached this temperature when it was about basketball-sized. Of course, any light released at that time would have traversed the entire universe and left in an instant. Some say it ocurred when the universe was 300,000 years old, but once again, the light would've traversed the universe and disappeared a long time ago. We could not possibly see it. The Cosmic Microwave Background is obviously caused by something else.
And how about the cosmologists trying to explain how the bigbang could've worked. They composed the bigbang idea based on the ^observed^ 'cosmological red shift' being ^interpreted^ as a Doppler red shift caused by the galaxies flying apart. Then they realized that position is completely untenable, as its execution is a violation of physics. So they decided the red shift is caused by the stretching of space itself as the universe expands (which is also untenable, it is trying to prove something by starting with an unbased and biased assumption). They had lost their only reason for believing in an exploding universe, so they invented something else - the expanding universe. And they expect everyone to be too ignorant to question them! But here it is. When they no longer had a reason to believe in the bigbang, they invented a reason!
At first they said, because of this evidence, we 'believe in' an exploding universe, and therefore in a bigbang. Then they said, the evidence is no good, so there is no reason to believe in a bigbang, but we insist on believing in it anyway! So, given that we do believe in a bigbang, how can we explain it? Weird! It's like they'd do anything to keep from recognizing a creator. And, since they 'believe' based on faith, not proof, 'modern' cosmologists and all of their followers are practicing religion.
And how about inflation? Once they started investigating the concept
of the expanding universe, they found out it wouldn't work either!!
The cosmologists themselves say that the ONLY way the bigbang will work is to invent
the insane concept of inflation in the early universe (look it up!! look up everything
I say, convince yourself). Inflation is a violation
of physics, yet according to themselves, it is the only way their religion will
work! Once again they lost their reason for believing, so
they invented a new thing.
Inflation is said to have occurred very early in the life of the universe.
As the universe was expanding, it suddenly, for no apparent reason, began expanding
at a tremendously faster rate. How could it do that? For something to accelerate,
it has to have something to push on. And you can't push on yourself. So almost as
soon as it started, inflation ended and the universe suddenly resumed its original
rate of expansion. Again, how could it do that?? This is even more bizarre than the
acceleration. In order for something to decelerate
it has to have something to push or pull on.
It is positively
hilarious to listen to these cosmologists (preachers of the modern religion) try
to explain it as a "phase change", because
"physics worked differently back then", and then expect all of us to accept their word
without question. Without question, because they can't answer the question. All
they can do is speculate and dream. That is why it is religion. Many people reject what
they call "religion" because it is a leap of faith. But evolution and the bigbang are also
religion, as they are also a leap of faith because we are talking about the unknowable and
unprovable past.
Right now there are many widely-varying
versions of the big bang/inflation scenario. The scientists themselves can't agree
on it. They each have a different version of how they think things happened - yet
they insist that they are speaking about "facts". They insist the big bang and evolution
are a fact.
Okay, let's go ....
The bigbang postulates
that everything in the universe was at exactly the same temperature, and completely
random, during the bigbang. Nowadays we look around and see that there is a
wide range of temperatures, contained in a wide range of organized structures (from
atoms to galaxies to brains). The Second Law Of Thermodynamics (entropy) says that
order can NOT come from disorder. Structures do not appear spontaneously
from random energy, and temperature differences do not occur by themselves.
That is why cosmologists spend millions of your dollars trying to convince you that the early universe did have some structure. They will not try to explain where the structure came from, because there is no way they can. They will not consider alternate explanations of the evidence. They say this is what the evidence means, and that is that. They say the big bang was not uniform in all directions, there was some structure (areas of higher and lower density). But so what? Entropy requires that structure (if it could have existed) would immediately smooth back out. There is no way for it to become even more complex and turn into human beings. The odds of that happening are exactly zero.
So the cosmologists insist that as the universe expanded, a point was reached where molecules formed from pure energy. How can this be? For energy to become condensed (organized) into a molecule it has to gain negative entropy - which is only possible if there is an intelligent outside force, such as a creator. It can not happen by accident on large scales. On the other hand, I have never heard of any law of physics which is contrary to creation.
The big bang folks declare that the universe was originally pure energy. As the universe cooled off after the big bang, that energy became modest enough for particles to form. But, curiously, only part of the energy formed particles. All those particles have a finite lifetime and then they decay back into energy. Hunh?? The universe has continued to do what they call "cooling-off". So by now ALL the energy should have turned into particles. And yet we see the opposite! Even though the universe is supposedly cooler, no particles are forming -- and instead, particles are decaying. Just the opposite of what the big bang predicts. The formation of particles from energy is negative-entropy. The decay of particles into energy is entropy.
Matter (protons and electrons) consists of a certain, easily calculatable, amount of energy (E=Mc2).The big bang consisted of nothing but energy. That energy (they say) somehow turned into matter. If the universe truly is expanding, then the energy was more compressed instantly after the bang started. That would have been an easy time to condense energy into matter. They say that it was too hot at that point, but heat IS energy, so they are wrong. Indeed, the easiest time to have converted the energy into matter was before the bang, when the universe was still a singularity! At that time the entire universe could have been converted into matter - one single giant particle. But no, that wouldn't work for the evolutionists. So they say the universe had to expand greatly first, then some (and only some) of the energy turned into matter. But common sense and logic tell us that after the energy spreads out into a greater area it is more difficult to bring some of it back together so that matter can be created. Plus, the very act of expanding carries inertia. Once expanding, it wants to keep expanding. But they conjecture the exact opposite! Somehow, for no apparent reason, zillions of small pockets of energy suddenly reversed expanding and compressed. Is that somehow believable?
The true source of the observed 'red shift' is probably not an expanding
universe. Most likely, it is the result
of a rotating universe. The bigbang folks declare that gravity
is the dominant long-range force in the universe. They ignore electro-magnetism.
By taking magnetism into account, and allowing for the possibility of creation,
there is no need to invent 'dark matter' and 'dark energy'. It is preposterous
to me that educated scientists actually believe
they cannot see 96% of the universe around us! If they accepted creation, they would
realize there is no need for ridiculous ideas. It is only the assumption of the
bigbang which requires dark matter and dark energy. And it is only the
rejection of creation which requires the bigbang. Hmmm.....
And here's one they will not, and can not, tackle: Our universe
is composed of protons and electrons. Protons have a positive electric charge, and
electrons have a negative electric charge. First, no one can explain what "charge"
is! Why does an electron always have a -1 charge? So, how could the big bang create
all these particles with electric charges? Why are the particles and charges the
same size and so forth on this side of the universe as on the other side?
Another reason they invented 'dark matter' is because they have
dismissed the work of previous scientists who realized that a normal spiral
galaxy would have
a "flat" rotation curve. When they then discovered flat galactic rotation curves,
they claim that the flat rotation rates
of galaxies are "proof" that the galaxy is embedded in a large halo of 'dark matter'
which no one can possibly see or detect. They actually EXPECT you
to believe
this story without question. They do not provide any credible evidence for you to believe
that most of the universe is invisible. They give you speculation. It is true! By
believing what a human has said, you have been indoctrinated into their religion. It is
true. That is why I don't want you to believe me just because I
said it - that would make me a cult leader. I want you to go out and learn the truth
for yourself.
The big bang does have alternatives, such as the plasma model and the steady
state model. But they all require evolution from nothing by accident (negative-entropy).
The only alternative to evolution is intelligent creation. If there was not intentional
and pre-planned creation, then nothing has to turn into something by some strange
accident, which has to turn into our universe, then life has to start up by another
bizarre accident, etc, etc, through millions of extremely improbable accidents, until
you are here reading my words. Do you really think that is possible?
In physics, the Strong Anthropic Principle posits that the universe
seems to have been made just for humans. There are many variables in this universe,
and if any of them change just a little bit, then there is no life. Supposedly the
big bang just 'happened' to produce this extremely fine-tuned universe the first
time. But that would be next to impossible. So rather than admit a possibility of
a creator, cosmology simply states that there must be zillions of universes - and
of all the random possibilities - this universe just happened to be favorable to
life. To the cosmologist who opposes the possibility of creation, the observation
that this universe is well constructed for life seems baffling. They can't figure
it out, because they reject the possibility of a creator. That's why they HAVE to
"believe in" zillions of random universes. And that is why they invented the "multi-verse"
concept. So now they will teach this stuff in
schools as a fact! They will not admit that they are being un-scientific and religious
(does the term 'epicycle' pop into your mind?).
Another huge problem is the life of Sol (the sun, our star).
They say that Sol is billions of years old, and has orbited the Milky Way Galaxy sixteen
times. Mind you, the spiral arms don't rotate like that. They are density
waves which move at a different speed. So what this means is that
as the sun goes around and around, it will frequently pass through huge, dense clouds of
dust and gas and stars. The clouds of dust and gas would cause the planets to spiral
into the sun and be burned. Also, the sun will have many encounters with other stars.
The stars would be much closer to the sun than they are now. Some of the stars
would be close enough to gravitationally rip the planets from the sun, or at least
throw them into chaotic orbits. Both of those facts show that it would be virtually
impossible for the sun to retain it's stately collection of planets in their nice, nearly
circular orbits for billions of years as it repeatedly passes in
and out of the spiral arms.
Right now the sun is below the plane of the disc of the Milky
Way. That means that as the sun orbits the Milky Way, it will pass through the thickest
parts of the spiral arms on a regular basis. Most of the Milky Way is lethal to
life as we know it. If our star was in a different part of the galaxy right now,
we'd be toasted.
The galaxy is home to thousands of enormous stars which can fry all life on earth
from a large distance. One nearby such star is Wolf-Rayet #136.
It is only by blind stupid luck (or purposeful intent) that
we are currently in one of the rare safe places. So, it seems obvious that life
has not existed on earth for billions of years. How could it have? In that time
Sol would have passed by many stars that emit millions of times the energy Sol does.
It seems certain that the planet would've been sterilized many, many times.
It seems also certain that we'd have
had a very good chance of being sterilized by a supernova explosion, in that
time. Or maybe even meet a back
hole. So, even though we are in a less-dense region, we can still be killed here.
When we move into the spiral arms, everything crowds together, so the chance of
having the earth sterilized becomes very great. There are very many ways the galaxy
can kill us. That is why Stephen Hawking said: "I don't think the human race will
survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. There are too many
accidents that can befall life on a single planet." Indeed, if an evolutionist
scientist as prominent as Hawking admits it is unlikely for life to last a mere
1000 years or so, how could we expect it to last 4,000,000,000 years??
The fact that we are below the plane of the galaxy is significant.
The vast majority of stars are said to form in the dust clouds along the galaxy's
mid-plane. To be below that plane shows that the sun must have had gravitational
encounters with other stars, but our planetary system seems too circular for that
to have happened.
Many main-line cosmologists do
admit that the universe is currently running down because of entropy. It is going
to die a "heat death". That is the state when everything in the universe is at the
same temperature. There will be no life because processes can't run. It will be
essentially the same as right after the bigbang, when everything was at the same
temperature. So their bigbang postulation becomes self-defeating. They admit that
entropy is killing the current universe, yet they fail to address what entropy means
about the beginning of the universe. They admit that entropy will kill a living
universe, but they don't mention what that means: ^a dead universe
will stay dead - FOREVER^.
-- HMMM... --
Still, the fundamental
question is: creation or evolution? That is what I want the answer
to. There is no way either model
can explain everything, and the 'proof' of either model is outside the bounds of
science (science: a body of knowledge gained from experimentation
and observation of the present -- speculation of the past can't be proven, so if
you have a belief, you accept it on faith alone, therefore it is your religion).
So all we can do is evaluate fairly both models in the light of science (facts),
and see which model best fits the facts. Each model has strong points and weak points.
But both evolution and the bigbang fail miserably. The universe just doesn't operate
that way. They are both a violation of entropy. Entropy rules the universe. Although
we cannot 'prove' either model, we CAN falsify one of them.
Now let me clarify something. Everything which currently exists
is evolving to some extent. Galaxies evolve, and species evolve. The thing in question
here is not the micro-evolution, but the religious belief that we all got here by accidentally
evolving
over billions of years from a big bang or something. The term "evolution" has come
to mean the opposite of creation. It means the concept that we got here by purely
accidental and naturalistic processes which follow the laws of physics. Most any
creationist scientist will agree that what we observe around us is going through
changes, the difference between the two models is the starting point.
If you want to know the facts, it is up to YOU to get them. One thing the scriptures keep saying is that you should not listen to the words of men, because they will lead you astray. This is very similar to the "Dark Ages", when the catholics controlled the population by keeping them ignorant. To this day, they still control the population by keeping us ignorant. It is a good formula. They hide the facts of entropy. They hide the problems with the big bang/ evolution model of the universe. They hide the fact that no radio-dating methods are scientific (because they are based on assumptions and inaccuracies, and are highly inconsistent). They hide Yahweh's name. They make you think you have great knowledge, but you only know what they told you. People believe what they are told to believe. People like what they are told to like, such as fashion. Who declares what is "in fashion" this week or next? All the gullible sheep follow right along and do what they are told to do. In this case they are told to believe in evolution as opposed to creation, and so that is what they believe.
How did it get this way? Many of the people who created the modern scientific
method believed that the universe was created by god. Somewhere along the line, the
mainstream scientific concensus became that they had to describe the universe without
resorting to miracles. They have now decided that it is a fact that miracles cannot
and do not occur, that the universe could not have been and was not created. Well, you
might notice that the government does not finance creationist research. They willingly
finance almost everything else, though. So if you had your own money, and did some great
creationist research, you could get published, right? People would take you seriously,
right? Well, don't expect any of the mainstream journals to publish your work, no matter
how good it is. You will have to publish in obscure journals which you never heard of
before. They might publish your material if they can't get anything else that month.
But then you will hear the evolutionists claim that your material is no good because
it is only published in questionable journals, never in mainstream journals. Sheesh!
So evolutionist people are saying that the universe popped out
of nowhere, all by itself, for no reason at all. And this particular universe has
all the correct properties to support life, which is very unlikely. That seems crazy
to some other
people, so they invent the idea of a multi-verse -- a place where whole universes
are popping in-and-out of existence all the time. We live in one of zillions of
other universes. There are now so many universes that at least one
of them would be capable of supporting life. Does this sound strangely similar to
the steady-state universe
which they used to believe in? Anyway, they remain committed to the universe-by-accident
explanation.
Before the big bang, temperature, density, and entropy were
infinite, therefore entropy was at a maximum. Since all the universe was contained
into a singularity, there could be no structure from which galaxies and humans were
born. In the present universe, both entropy
and temperature are finite, so entropy has decreased. How can entropy decrease in
a universe where entropy cannot decrease? Perhaps there really wasn't a bigbang,
after all....
Now, energy and matter are variations of the same thing
(E=Mc2). Energy easily
disperses into entropy. Matter is condensed energy - therefore it is negentropy.
And the fact that the matter is not dispersed, but organized, is even more negentropy.
Which means there is a tremendous amount of negative entropy in the universe! Where
did it all come from? It can't get here by itself.
And, of course, the universe itself also could NOT have gotten
here by itself. Something which does not exist can not create itself! You can not
bring yourself into being. So where did it all come from? It had to have been here
eternally, or it got here by accident, or it was created by an outside intelligence.
The latter is by far the most likely and reasonable. As far as we know, everything
in the universe had a beginning, and therefore the universe itself must have had
a beginning. And so, it must have been created. Another clue that this is correct
is that SINCE the universe came into being, a tremendous amount of negative entropy
has occurred - including the beginning of life on earth in all its intricate forms,
in spite of the Law of Entropy.
Science can not pass judgment on the origins of humans, the earth, or the universe, because our origins can not be observed or experimented on (remember, science is a body of knowledge gained through observation and experimentation - speculation is not knowledge). Evolution is not a scientific theory, because a theory is something which, by definition, is answerable or testable by science. Scientists like to CALL evolution a theory, to give it an aura of respectability. There is no such thing as a "Theory of Evolution", it does not exist. What is rammed down everyone's throat these days is really called the "Doctrine of Evolution". They like to SAY the bigbang is a theory, but that doesn't make it so. They don't want to admit that they are practicing religion, because then evolution would be removed from our schools. Science can only be used to evaluate models of origins based on the facts which we can observe and experiment on today (I said "evaluate": if one chooses to "believe in" either model and live his life by it, he does so by faith, so that is his religion).
Science observes the universe in the present time, and so we can say: How does the current state of the earth compare to what evolution predicts, versus, how does the current state of the earth compare to what creation predicts? That is science!
For example, if evolution
were true we would expect to see some sort of universal law or principle of physics
which encourages (or at least; allows!) random, disordered systems to move towards
systems of increasing order. Because even "evolution by accident" needs to have
a method of operating -- but there is nothing! In fact, there is
just the opposite - entropy! This is exceedingly
important, please read those three sentences a few more times.
So now they try to say that entropy
(the 2nd Law) is actually the "driving force" behind evolution! This is an incredibly
silly position, as they have already admitted that entropy is killing the universe.
But evolutionists have two huge problems - there is nothing to encourage evolution,
and entropy forbids evolution - so they grasp at straws as they drown in quicksand, and
combine the two problems and call it an 'explanation'. But no mechanism is given,
because there isn't one. And there can't possibly be one. So they try to deceive
you with wishful thinking.
If creation were true, we can expect that the creator had placed everything in its original order. Negative entropy can only be created by some intelligent source outside of the universe (so that's where seeds came from!). So that now, either everything is still in order, or everything is running down if the creator does not maintain the order. The bible claims everything was created perfect, and because of Adam's sin the universe is not maintained and is therefore running down (devolving - entropy in action). Before Adam sinned every animal ate plants, and no animal died. After Adam sinned the earth was cursed, death began to occur, and the universe began running down from its perfectly ordered state (increasing disorder - "you will surely die"). (Part of the curse was that plants would now bear thorns. Not said, but implied, is that animals suddenly bore teeth and claws suitable for hunting, killing, and eating animals.)
So what does science observe which fits with these two models? Thermodynamics is the basis from which scientific understanding flows. The Laws of Thermodynamics are fundamental -- every serious scientist and physicist believes in them. They might as well be called: "The Laws of Energy". Entropy is the principle derived from the Laws of Thermodynamics, actually it is just a different way of stating the Second Law while obeying the First Law. Entropy FORBIDS "increasing order by accident" (upwards evolution). Entropy demands increasing disorder, and creation demands increasing disorder at the present time. No scientist has ever observed evolution, but they have observed devolution every day. So when we look at the universe in which we live, which model of origins fits the observed facts??
One fundamental truth of organized systems is that the more complex they become, the more likely they are to have problems, and break down. You can toss out a bunch of atoms in one place and expect a star might form, if the external conditions are just right, as stars are not very complex. But what if you expect a DNA molecule to form by accident from randomly distributed atoms? It is extremely unlikely. DNA is very complex. And yet it is only the starting point to expecting amoebas to form. Expecting a man to form, even through trillions of years of evolution, is staggeringly unlikely. Developing a working, highly-complex system by accident is impossible. Some of the creationists like to ask, "How often does a tornado go thru a junkyard and actually 'construct' something from the loose parts?" Never, of course. And that's when the parts already exist, and are already collected into one general area.
Darwin and his contemporaries thought the human cell was basically a bag of jelly with a seemingly useless nucleus. Nowadays we know the animal cell is a horrendously, staggeringly, insanely complicated machine. There is no way it could've evolved into existence by accident. Instead of jelly, we have something as complex as a space shuttle. When was the last time you saw a space shuttle appear from nothing? And even if the pile of parts were there, you would not have the information you need to assemble them. Information does not come from nowhere. Although complicated things like to break down, our cells are amazingly reliable and versatile. Good design! Humans built several space shuttles - one blew up, one burned up, not good odds, but that's what you expect from complicated things. Now try it at nano-scale!!
The bigbang says that all energy was contained in a small volume, but at infinite temperature, so the entropy of the universe was at a maximum. A single human brain contains an ENORMOUS amount of negative entropy. To get from the bigbang to a human brain is a violation of the most fundamental LAW of the universe. It can not happen by accident! Forget mere theories, we're talking about Laws here (please look up the difference between a model, a hypothesis, a scientific theory, and a Law of physics -- when a theory violates a Law, the theory goes into the toilet).
The Big Bang supposedly happened 14.7 billion years ago. This is actually presented as a fact, although it is impossible to prove. Yet it is a fact (according to the Big Bang hypothesis) that we can see galaxies already formed 14 billion years ago. If we can see galaxies 14 billion years ago in one direction, it follows that we can see them that far in every direction. That means that either the Earth is the center of the universe, or the Big Bang model has already failed completely, or both.
This might be a surprise to you, but I am not opposed to the big bang. What I am opposed to is the claim that the big bang is a fact (and I am opposed to evolution completely). I am opposed to the claim that the big bang and the laws of physics naturally led to the universe we see today. It could very well be that Yahweh created the universe 14 billion years ago in a way which now appears to us as the big bang.
For example, up above I trashed on the so-called 'Inflation Theory' as not being a true theory, and as not following the laws of physics. So if you look at it as the Inflation Principle instead, and accept that only a miracle could cause it to occur, and then stop occurring, then it is consistent with creation. It is also consistent with the speculative creation account I supplied on my NOTES page. It is identical with the claim in scriptures that Yahweh "stretched out the heavens" (e.g. Isaiah 40:22 "He that sits upon the circle of the earth ... that stretches out the heavens as a curtain, and spreads them out as a tent to dwell in." and Jeremiah 10:12 "has stretched out the heavens at His discretion". See also Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 45:12, Isaiah 48:13, Isaiah 51:13, Psalms 104:2, Job 9:8, Jeremiah 51:15, and Zechariah 12:1).
The big bangers claim that the universe began as a pin-point of infinite energy, and expanded from there. I cannot say that is wrong because I can imagine that Yahweh created such a pin-point of energy, and the laws of physics. Even the big bang had to have something prior to it, to bring it into being. Negative entropy would have had to be created - the laws of physics do not allow it to come about by chance or accident.
They claim that the big bang caused a smooth, homogenous area of pure energy to begin expanding. At some point this energy supposedly cooled off enough for protons and electrons to form, and for molecules to form from them. Er, dare I ask? Why didn't ALL of the energy turn into particles?? Why only some of it? Maybe because a creator would only generate as much neg-entropy as he desired?
Then after the molecules formed the universe continued expanding. This means that the molecules would move away from each other. Yet there had to be some mechanism to bring them together to form stars. Gravity is not that mechanism. Remember that all these molecules are evenly distributed across the universe, and so gravity would have been the same everywhere. Once again, negative entropy has to come from somewhere.
Even if there really was any sort of energy density or any other gradient after the big bang, entropy would quickly smooth it all out long before any stars, galaxies, or people could form. But the cosmologists have to keep searching desperately, for there is no other way for evolution. And there was one who suggested the laws of physics worked the opposite to the way they do now, and that is how galaxies were able to form. But please, when did the laws revert to the way they are now? We see galaxies very far away in space and time, and we can determine that the laws worked the same over there billions of years ago as they do over here right now. Entropy rules the universe, all of it. They say life got started first, then entropy came into play. But that is non-sense. Once entropy comes into play, there is no evolution. They say evolution is still occurring. They say we have entropy and we have evolution, even though they are mutually exclusive concepts. You can NOT have both! Choose. One or the other. But when you choose, remember, entropy is observed every day, and upwards evolution has never been observed. So if you choose evolution, your choice is based on faith only, so it is your religion.
Creationism appears to be compatible with science (observation and experimentation) and with physics. If we believe the universe was created perfect, then was cursed to die because of sin, then the universe we see around us is exactly what we expect to see. Accidental evolution is not compatible. It seems to me, that creationism is the only sensible thing to trust in. There are only two choices. The universe itself acts like it was created, and it seems opposed to evolution.
Scripture says that Yahweh is in everything, and everything is in Yahweh. In my model, therefore, Yahweh is the creator and maintainer of negative entropy, and all energy is Yahweh's energy. Which means that everything which exists - the whole universe and everything in it - is part of Yahweh our Creator. He brought together and sustains everything which is. Not one molecule can exist without his knowledge.
Try this: Imagine a universe in your mind. You can decide what is what, and make things happen. That universe could not exist unless you made it exist. It cannot exist without you. It would never have existed unless you created it. All of that universe is part of you, and part of you is all of that universe you have imagined. Now picture it on a bigger scale - the universe you live in is part of Yahweh. He is what the universe is made out of, and He is the negative entropy which is everything in this universe.
-- LET US TRY THIS AGAIN --
Our universe is composed of energy, and nothing but energy. So it has to obey the Laws of Energy.
Well, the First Law of Thermodynamics says you can't create nor destroy energy. You can convert it into other types of energy, even into mass (E=Mc2). Conservation Of Energy, and so forth. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that in the process of changing energy into different forms, some of that energy is "used-up" by falling into its lowest state. It remains energy, but it has reached a stage from which it is no longer useable. There is no longer a place for that energy to flow to. That quantity of un-usable energy in the universe is called entropy. So entropy is just a concept with which to measure the progress of the Second Law of Energy as time goes by. It tells us how much chaos/ disorder/ etc exists currently.
The Second Law says that entropy is always increasing. It means that order becomes disorder, information gets destroyed, etc. Science magazines regularly run articles describing the inevitable "heat-death" of the universe. A pot of boiling water has more condensed energy than the relatively cool air in the room. So the Second Law says the energy will leave the pot. The water cools, and the air warms. Then, when everything is at equilibrium, when everything is the temperature same as everything else, energy cannot flow.
The big bang had infinite entropy. There could not have been any knowledge or structure, nor any thing which was in any way different from every other thing. How do we then get to a universe where there is a finite amount of entropy? Where did all of the organization and knowledge in our universe come from? How could the amount of entropy in the universe decrease drastically, when the most basic and well-agreed upon Law of Physics says entropy can only increase? Since the universe started out in chaos, where did the chaos go? How did order come from chaos? How did energy leave one area and add itself to another area which had more energy than the first area?
Suddenly, you realize ....
The only way order comes from disorder, the only way knowledge comes from chaos, is when an intelligence from outside the system purposely creates that order. The universe was created. Evolution is impossible. Evolution is currently impossible, and has always been impossible.
Entropy is not just the initial creation, it is all the time. Take as an example a moment 100,000,000 years ago. Supposedly there were a bunch of critters running around, dinosaurs and so forth. Supposedly they evolved upwards into what we see today - humans and whatnot. But if you apply the Laws of Thermodynamics to that moment (or any other moment), you see it is completely and unquestionably impossible for life to evolve upwards into more complex animals and plants. Increased complexity requires an increase in information. That would require entropy to decrease (go in reverse). But it does not, ever, go in reverse unless acted on from outside the system by an intelligent force (in this case the system is our universe).
Hence, not only was the universe created, so was everything IN the universe.
-- MY CONCLUSION --
Spontaneous negative entropy
is impossible according to the universe we live in. All of our
experiments and observations support this fact. Neg-entropy is the spontaneous
gathering together of randomness and chaos into some kind of organization.
It is absolutely
required by evolution! Evolution teaches that the universe was completely random,
yet evolved upwardly into what we see today. Evolution absolutely
requires
some method for a non-organized system to organize itself. But the opposite condition
exists.
As we look around the world today, we know there is NO WAY
that non-organized things organize themselves into something meaningful. It just
never happens. There are
billions of grains of sand on the beach, but they only turn into castles when a
child comes along. The child is the outside intelligence which
created the organization of the grains of sand into the castle. Millions of
waves big and little do not create castles, because there is no intelligence. Our
universe operates the same way.
There are questions
about creation which we will never know the answer to,
if creation is really how
we got here. There are also questions about evolution which we would never know
the answer to, if we wanted to believe in evolution.
For example, if we wanted to believe in evolution, we'd have to
wonder what mechanism puts evil temptations into men's minds? Are we ever tempted
to do good? Evil temptations are far stronger. Where do they come from? Devils and
demons? Aliens? Why are we being tested, unless, maybe the whole satan thing is true?
The mere fact that I keep receiving evil temptations, even after telling myself to
quit, strongly supports the claim that satan is god of this world.
Evolution is not provable, but it is falsifiable. In fact, it has already been
falsified by entropy. A theory can have thousands of experiments allowing it, but one single
repeatable experiment can completely falsify it. There are no exceptions to the
Law Of Entropy. Didn't they teach you all about entropy in school? Oh, right, of course
not! They knew you'd find out that evolution is a joke.
Since evolution cannot be proven, it cannot be believed in - except by blind faith (religion).
However, since evolution can be falsified, it can be rejected based on knowledge (science).
And it has already been falsified (proven to be false) by entropy, so we can have confidence
that we are doing the correct thing when we reject evolution completely.
Darwin's theory of evolution is DEAD! That is correct. Why is the media hiding it from you? Did you know Darwinian evolution has been officially debunked and dead for many years? Darwin is finished. Even the emminent and staunch evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould made that claim in his book. He just failed to say it was the pro-creationist debaters who forced him to admit it.
Certainly, the creation model of the universe fits with observed
facts very much better than does the evolution model. As such, it seems silly to
'believe in' evolution or the bigbang. Religion is defined as "placing your cosmological
belief in something that can't be proven". Funny, a cult is defined the same way.
Since no human can
observe or experiment on the past, then no human can know with certainty how we
got here. So what you believe, you believe based on facts of what the universe of
today tells you, or you believe something a human tells you. Either way, you are
practicing religion.
The most important question a person can ask him or her self is: was the universe created, or
did it get here by accident? After that, all other questions are just details.
Thermodynamics, the most basic of the Laws of Physics -- agreed upon
by pretty much every scientist on the planet -- DEMANDS that the universe was created.
Given that, the laws of probability indicate the 'Israelite' scriptures are
real. The great religion of "modern science" says the universe got here by
accident. The scientists (priests) preach about what they
want you to believe in. But no evolution is observed, only
devolution is observed. There is no universal law of increasing
order, only a universal law of increasing dis-order (entropy, the second law of
thermodynamics). Entropy is what would be expected if the universe was created
perfect, and has been running down ever since then, like the scripture says.
Evolution (evil-lution) requires the universe to allow negative entropy to
spontaneously occur, and no human has ever seen that. So, in my opinion,
entropy is indisputable scientific proof that the universe and everything
in it was created!
Apparently there is no possible way the universe could have evolved
here by accident. The scientists/preachers claim that they have "proven" that the
universe is very old, but that is only their personal interpretation of the observable
facts. They have to claim that, in order for their
bigbang/evolution religion to
work. Just because they teach evolution in schools does not make it true. They refuse
to admit that proof of the origin of the universe is outside the domain of real
science attainable by humans.
True science is a body of knowledge based on observation and
experimentation, and no one can observe or experiment on the past. 'Belief' in the
bigbang/evolution worldview is accepted on FAITH, and as such, is a religion.
My views on the religious side of this question
can be found HERE. Or go ahead and click the Next Chapter link below.
The fallacy of evolution is removed. Now it is only a cult of people who believe in what a human tells them. Evolution reduces to a faith-based religion. I follow a fact-based religion, entropy. This leaves behind only creation as an explanation of how we got here. Uh-oh! There are two things scarey to contemplate: the finite state of entropy in this universe, and that empty grave. Somehow the universe was created by someone who owns it. No matter what the details are, there really will be a judgment day.
The creation versus evolution debate is ended.
