Science is an ‘organism’ in itself. Of course, organisms have the capacity to live and grow.
Science, in the embryonic stage
with the ‘Age of Enlightenment,’ has grown into a self-serving monster that gets
more gigantic with each new thought. Yes, you read it right; the thoughts of
men make the ‘mega-monster’ grow!
Theology is one body of knowledge
that is the same on each page of the Bible which has continuity over time. What
is true today is true tomorrow. Truth is independent of time and the thoughts
of men; the truth was revealed to Isaiah by God that “as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your
thoughts.” (Isa 55:19)
In plain English, just as the
cosmos is higher than the surface of the Earth, God’s Invention is higher than
the invention of the people of the Earth.
God’s ‘Invention’ is this; “In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth,” meaning that they were His
Invention and not anyone else’s! He Thought a Divine Impulse and whoof, the
creation process began.
Several versions of the Bible
interpret the Divine Impulse in this way, “No prophecy was ever borne of human
impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Pet
1:21). The Holy Spirit silently speaking to the souls of mankind is the Divine
Impulse, not the words nor thoughts of men.
The Thoughts of God are Divine
Impulses, and since His Thoughts are not the thoughts of men, then mankind only
receives Divine Impulses and are not able to send them.
Scientists received an impulse
from space just a few days ago. A scientific paper describing a new law was
printed whose author was Robert Hazen:
Titled the ‘law of increasing
functional information,’ it holds that evolving systems, biological and
non-biological, always form from numerous interacting building blocks like
atoms or cells, and that processes exist - such as cellular mutation - that
generate many different configurations. Evolution occurs, it holds, when these
various configurations are subject to selection for useful functions.
In short, all things evolve, not
just organisms. Hence, the theory of evolution has been extended to include all
things, not just carbon-based plant and animal life.
According to Hazen, “It holds
that complex natural systems evolve to states of greater patterning, diversity
and complexity. "We see evolution as a universal process that applies to
numerous systems, both living and nonliving, that increase in diversity and
patterning through time.” (ibid).
Science has looked for this law for quite some time, and only now has it occurred to them. Somebody got the bright idea that all things improve over time from a lower state to a higher state. They needed to find that new law because the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts the theory of evolution. See how:
Entropy is central to
the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an isolated
system left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease with time. As a result,
isolated systems evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium, where the entropy is
highest. A consequence of the second law of thermodynamics is that certain
processes are irreversible.
Thermodynamic processes require
energy and time to reach equilibrium. Neither can they be recovered. Hence,
once a state is lowered in the process of time, it must remain at that lower
state forever. Carbon decay is the best example, and ultimately that is how
time is measured.
The law of entropy was a high
hurdle that evolutionists had to overcome. ‘The Law of Increasing Functional
Information’ easily overcomes the law of entropy. Now, not only can organisms
evolve but so can anything, living or not!
That law is a giant stretch for
mankind because now, rather than evolving from basic cells, they can evolve
from chaos. That new law changes the nature of the universe; rather than
transforming from order into chaos, that theory has just changed the nature of
the entire cosmos, and diminished God even further!
Evolutionists contend that basic
things evolved into higher things. That seems to be true when technology is
examined, but that is not the evolution of man but the evolution of invention. Given
one man and one woman, it would be unlikely that technology would be as
advanced as it is. However, given billions of people, it is multiplication that
increases invention. In other words, one Einstein would not be enough. On the
other hand, One God is enough to make all things.
Hence, mankind has not evolved,
but the body of knowledge which has been compounded over time. Because the
world is higher tech now does not mean that the brains of humans have gained
intelligence.
Indeed, the angry protesters prove
that people are as dumb as their ancient ancestors who rebelled against the
order and law of the Garden of Eden. In fact, the population of the earth has
devolved as brutishness has compounded over time. Whereas before, they might
throw stones at each other, now they fire atomic bombs at the earth. Mankind
has not evolved but weaponry and ill-will have!
With billions of people in each
generation, knowledge has certainly evolved. Adam and Eve had only a ‘good’
body of knowledge, and once they encountered an alien species, their knowledge
increased; thereafter their body of knowledge included evil things. Their minds
had been expanded by an inhumane impulse, but their natures degenerated from
glorious to inglorious.
Most people gloss over the
concept of glory. ‘Glory’ is the splendorous state in which Adam and his mate were
created. They were created in the Image of God, “God created man in His own
image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them”
(Gen 1:27). What is that Image of God? “Behold, the Lord our God hath showed us
his glory and his greatness” (Deut 5:24). That is the Image of God and the
image in which mankind was made. Adam and his wife were glorious and great like
God.
Hence, God is the Prototype of our
species. From that reference, it cannot get any better! Humans cannot be improved
beyond that, so those who trust God for regeneration must be and will be ‘glorified’
— made again in the Image of God. The King James Version translates that as “born
again” but it is literally “engendered from above”
The progenitor of mankind, as
they are called today, was not the man, Adam, but the woman. As such, we are
not so much Adam’s kind as Eve’s who was the “mother of all living” (Gen 3:20).
That is now believed to be scientifically true because only the female of the
species passes along mitochondrial DNA and everyone living today is from Eve.
Something happened with original
sin. A new ‘existence’ resulted from carnal knowledge, “Adam knew Eve his wife;
and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the Lord”
(Gen 4:1). Literally Adam saw his wife, who conceived, and bare Cain,
who she called an ‘Is (pronounced eesh); and which means ‘extant’
Cain was a being that evolved
from the Wicked One. It was not positive evolution but devolution in that Adam
endeavored to love God, but Cain did not.
Love, or goodwill, is the characteristic,
or nature, that God intended for His man, Adam. Mankind was meant to love
others as God loves us.
Therefore, on the scale of truth,
the metric to meet the humane kind is goodwill for others and God
because Goodness is the Divine Nature as well as the Divine Impulse of God (Mat
19:17). Cain was meant to be good like Adam had been and like God in whose
Image he should have been, if it had not been for the Wicked One and sin.
Cain became a hater and killed
with impunity. His nature devolved from humane to brutish. He was more like
some other being than man! Whereas God generated Adam and Adam passed along his
goodness to Eve, the Wicked One made Cain a ‘degenerate,’ not totally
depraved, but mostly so.
Science considers genetic improvement
a matter of intelligence. For instance, men are homo sapiens — wise men.
However, apes are of the genus hylobates., or ‘forest walker.’
Note that Adam was a ‘garden walker.”
Gardens indicate order and civilization, whereas forests jungles that are
without order.
Is it coincidence that Cain was
cursed to wander the land of Nod? (Gen 4:16) which is not a certain place but
anyplace outside the Garden of Eden — a jungle out there. Is it coincidence
that Nod means ‘wandering’ and that apes are primates that wander
jungles?
What is inferred therein? That
sin caused Adam’s kind to become a lesser species. Scripture points, not toward
evolution to higher orders, but devolution to beings lower on the scale of
taxonomy classifications.
In modern jargon, mankind in
one generation had become more brutish. Did man evolve from apes or apes
devolve from man? That will be examined more.
