We have come a long way together, billions of years, from the birth of the Universe to the origin of life.We have looked at light,gravity,dark matter and dark energy.We have examined the formation of the stars and the elements we are all made. We have accumulated evidence against atheistic scientific theory and towards Intelligent Design.
Next, we will examine, in detail ,the foundation of atheistic belief, EVOLUTION.
Evolution is defined as the change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms through successive generations. According to current scientific theory there are three mechanisms that push evolution forward.
NATURAL SELECTION: By chance, one organism has an advantage for survival over the rest of the population and so has a reproductive advantage over slower runners, thereby passing this advantage on to it's offspring. For Example: a rabbit that is a bit faster than other rabbits and has a better chance of not being eaten by a predator and so will have a chance to mate and pass that speed on to it's offspring.
There is artificial selection as when a farmer mates plants and animals to produce desirable traits the farmer wants.
Natural selection is consistent with Intelligent Design as once the process is established, it sustains itself as with the farmer.
GENETIC DRIFT: is the gradual change in a population due to random events.
For example:75% of a population has the A gene and 25% have the B gene.If the organisms with the B gene do not have offspring,the B gene is wiped out. If only 1/3 of A have offspring but all of B than the A and B gene would be equal in the population.
You can have endless combinations that will eventually lead to change in the population.This is very mathematical and is also consistent with Intelligent Design.
MUTATION: We have gone over this in the last couple of chapters but to summarize,Mutation is the main source of change. This to me is another SMOKING GUN and proof of Intelligent Design.
As we have covered, mutations are the result of mistakes in the DNA sequence. BUT , the odds for random mistakes to eventually lead to intelligence would be like winning the lottery every day.
The bible of atheistic evolution is Darwin's "Origin of Species" . We will examine the flaws in this theory. We will examine why, with at least 100 million fossils that are catalogued and identified in the world's museums, the fossil record does not support Darwin's premise.

Mutations (continued)
I want to explore mutations in DNA further because there is a smoking gun hidden in this information.
Mutations are changes in a genomic sequence, which is the entire hereditary information of an organism.
In the living cell, all DNA undergoes frequent chemical change, especially when it is being replicated. Most of the changes are quickly repaired. Those that are not result in a mutation.
Fortunately, mutations are rare, estimated at 1 in every 10 million duplications of a DNA molecule. Our bodies contain about 100 trillion cells, so odds are we all have some mutated cells.
So to be clear, a mutation is a result of a mistake in the DNA. They are responsible for many genetic defects such as: hemophilia,albinism and certain kinds of cancer and brain malfunction. These mutations can be caused by radiation or copying errors during replication.
Here's where it gets real interesting. All evolution theory depends on these mutations to occasionally be beneficial. Why, because if these mistakes never happened, we would have never evolved beyond single cell organisms, such as bacteria.
Are we to believe that random mistakes in the DNA, which have disastrous affects on the host organism , led to wings, eyes and intelligence? How do scientist explain this contradiction? Is it possible for mistakes in the dna replication to somehow evolve complex conscious beings? Does this not PROVE a consciousness intentionally altered the CHANGE in duplication to enable complex life to evolve. For life to evolve as complex as it is due to mistakes in the DNA replication is beyond comprehension . The odds would be tremendous, like winning the lottery every day.
As I am writing this chapter, the Wall Street Journal printed a blog from some comedienne, Ricky Gervais titled "Why I am an atheist", I left a link below. I took the time to read it and he believes that science disproves the existence of God. He ,like many atheists, never talk about the actual science but pick apart religious documents, like the bible, as their proof of atheism. The bible should not be taken literally as it was written, in metaphor, thousands of years ago for uneducated people to understand their world and their place in it. For example: Saying the world was created in 7 days of coarse that cannot be true, there were no days in the beginning. But to say the world was created from the BIG Bang from nothing is a scientific fact. The Bible could have said"Let there be light and let it be both a particle and a wave,also let be mass less and self propelled.
It is important to note that when scientists write a paper, they cannot mention anything meta-physical in their theories of how nature works.It is purely political. One has to use your own imagination and intelligence to read between the lines of scientific information.

A Star is Born!
We have explored what is known about the "Big Bang" , which is the current scientific theory for the beginning of the Universe and the immediate few seconds after.We have examined gravity and light, which I submit is further evidence of design.
Our next examination will be the beginning of the stars,galaxies and the basic elements.
After the "Big Bang" the Universe was homogeneous, as the particles formed from the Bang flew out symmetrically away from each other.Now ,before I go on, let it be clear,if the sub-atomic particles continued this way the Universe would have evaporated.But a lucky event happened or maybe intervention. Scientific observations reveal that tiny clumps of matter began to form in the early Universe. Scientist have concluded that these tiny clumps of matter started to be attracted together due to temperature differences of less than one millionth of a degree.This caused density variations, which are the seeds of all structure in the Universe, to enable our friend gravity to take over and attract gas and dust.
In about 200 million years, there was enough matter to clump together that the temperature grew hot enough for fusion to begin and the first stars began to glow and the first element to form ,hydrogen.
Where did that slight change in temperature,in the early Universe,originate?There is no answer to that, it just happened. Without that slight change of temperature of 1 millionth of a degree, the galaxies,stars, the earth and us would not exist.
Chaos or design, you decide.

The force that keeps us together.
So far ,we have covered the beginning of the universe with the "Big Bang" and what happened a few seconds after the Big Bang.
After the initial bang ,a mysterious force intervened which became vital for the creation of the galaxies, the stars , the earth and us. A force common in our everyday life and without it, space and time would cease to exist and us along with it. Scientist don't know if it was created during the Big Bang or existed before. We call it gravity.
Gravity, an attractive force that always acts between particles of matter. It is stable and predictable, it is invisible. We know it exists because of it's effect on everything. You cannot shield yourself from it and it's power can penetrate anything even across the entire universe.
Scientist have concluded that if gravity was just a little bit stronger or weaker the universe could not support life or even exist. It is just perfect for us.
Another piece of evidence of design in nature or just a lucky chance of this force originating out of Chaos, you have to think about that. It is impossible to calculate the odds that one throw of the dice would produce this perfect and powerful force of nature.
To be honest, scientist have many theories to try to explain this, such as: multiple universes, where there are trillions of universes that pop in and out of existence and we are the lucky one in a trillion that blossomed.
So far, there is no evidence of multiple universes.There is only evidence of one, ours.

The Big Bang and seconds after.
Reference for origin of Universe
Artist pic of Big Bang
The Big bang Theory is the current scientific explanation for the creation of the Universe. It was created between 13 and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion of a subatomic thing that flung space,time, matter and energy in all directions at once.Everything, that we can see and touch came from an initial speck of infinite density.
There are many theories how this could have happened.There is string theory, which is too complicated to go into here.Another is multi-universes but there is no more evidence of these theories than there is of, I am going to say it,a creator.
The Big Bang theory has only been established within the last 50 years. Before that, most scientist believed that the universe was in a constant state for all time. Now they say it had a beginning. Think about that, from nothing came everything
What happened after the Big Bang?We've established the beginning of everything with the Big Bang Theory.What happened right after, no one knows for sure. What is established is that the universe expanded much like a balloon expands when it is filled with air.
The conditions within the early universe was total chaos.Extreme hot temperatures beyond imagination caused the sub-atomic particles to smash into each other.
Now here's where it gets weird. According to current scientific theory, there were two substances, within the early universe, that destroyed each other when they collided.Scientist call them matter and anti-matter. Scientific models calculate that there should be a equal amount of matter and anti-matter. But they are baffled because if this was so, the early universe would have destroyed itself within the first seconds after the Big Bang
Fortunately for us, there was a slight advantage in matter's favor, calculated at one part per billion. This enabled matter to survive and anti-matter destroyed. Now matter was able to survive and build the universe as we know it.
This is where natural law was established. Any deviation, such as gravity stronger or weaker or the charge of electrons and more, the universe as we know it, could not be possible.
Why the slight difference between matter and anti-matter. There is no answer.Could it be part of the natural process or could that be DESIGN, that a higher intelligence used to create everything.
