Insight 1 - Fatal Flaw in Godless Evolution
Reproduction has only one generation to evolve and not billions of years
We live in a world teeming with life. There are really only two possible explanations for this: chance or a creator. Random evolutionists, refusing to consider rationally the possibility of the latter in light of the evidence, choose chance. Given enough time, say, billions of years, all living things could evolve randomly, runs the argument. A fatal flaw in this reasoning lies in ignoring the miracle of reproduction.
Virtually every form of organic life reproduces by the involvement of two parents, which interact, sometimes even with the assistance of other organisms, as occurs when bees pollinate flowers. Of course, without reproduction no organism, creature or plant could survive beyond one generation. And so random evolution has not had millions of years for reproduction to evolve. It has always had only one generation. That is not enough for systems of reproduction to arise by chance, and there are millions of such systems, physically often very different, but all conceptually and purposefully the same, and all highly complicated. Evolution needs generations to pass for changes to occur. Scientists tell us nothing at all, as far as I am aware, about how reproduction itself could have arisen through evolution in one generation. That is a significant lacuna. The profound question of what came first, the chicken or the egg, remains unanswered. That is an important and fundamental question. Of course, it relates not only to chickens but to all forms of organic life. Nothing is more vital to the survival of all organic life than reproduction. In contrast to science's silence, Genesis 1.11,12,22,28 and 29 mentions reproduction at the very start of life, and Genesis 1.11,12 and 29 talks expressly of the making or creating of “seed”. Furthermore, Nachmanides, the famous biblical commentator, who lived from 1195 to 1270, says that God’s use of the phrase “blessed them” in verses 22 and 28 of Chapter 1 of Genesis conveyed that He was bestowing the power of procreation. The only rational answer to the origin of reproduction is - overwhelmingly - that it must have been created, and therefore that there must be a Creator. Test that proposition by posing the simple question how human and animal male and female sexual organs, which are complementary to each other, could have evolved into existence separately from one another, substantially at the same time, by chance, and in only one generation. Next time you cut open an apple, look at how carefully the pips are arranged; there is a reason for this: God is in the pips, ensuring the apple will reproduce and survive.
