Blog # 2

"God and the Origin of the Universe" is my topic of choice for my research paper. As I study Nutrition, it has become more clear to me that God exists and is creator of the universe. Every since I can remember in school, science has always been one of my favorite subjects. Whenever the topic of how man and the universe came into existance, evolution and the Big Bang Theory were the only theories discussed. On the site http://www.allaboutthejourney.org/origin-of-life.htm brought up quite a few intersting questions about evolution such as: "How can nothing explode?", "Where did the mathematical laws and physical properties come from?", and "Where did the language convention that interprets DNA come from?". These questions can not be explained in evolution while creationism can.

Another issue with evolution is the lack of evidence involving the transitional form of fossil records. As Darwin claims, over a period of time gradually we will see a change in the fossil record. An example of this is the fish to amphibian-fin to feet, it proves that a fish can not transition into an amphibian because "The fish has a small pelvis that are embedded in muscle and not connected to the backbone unlike tetrapod amphibians which have large pelvises that are firmly connected to the vertebral column. Without this anatomy, the amphibian could not walk. The morphological differences in this gap are obvious and profound." http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/fossils.htm

Lastly, the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts evolution which http://www.icr.org/index.php?module=articles&action=view&ID=245 stated on their websites, "Entropy" which in physics indicates that the whole universe of matter is running down, and ultimately will reduce itself to uniform chaos." Evolution does the opposite, it is supposed to be a universal law of increasing complexity. These questions and examples are seemingly to complexed to be answered by science alone. While in discussion with a fellow classmate I asked the question could God and science coexist, they responded "No". It is my opinion that they can and do.
