Highlights of Science vs Fiction

When engaging with the world, people will come from a world-view that is not Christian.  It is important that Believers not jump to the conclusion that they will reason in the same way as our Christian friends.  It has been a historical privilege in America that by and large our generations have been cultured in basic Bible understanding.  This is gradually dissipating and being replaced by what most call secularism, which is disguised anti-God theology.  The Truth Project exposes many of their subtleties, and offers the informed Believer tools to help refute underlying assumptions that turn a "well I don't know" into "absolutely not" or "affirmatively it must be this way."  Let your yes be yes, and no no, and be convinced thoroughly of who the Creator is and why it must be so.

Truth #1: God's Existence is Plain as Day, Not Obscure 

Nature does not whisper or hint about Creator God, it shouts.   Romans 1:20 states plainly (for the Believer to understand), since the creation of the world [God's] invisible attributes are clearly seen, and, understood by the things that made, [including] His eternal power and Godhead,  so that [everyone] is without excuse.  

The things in nature are shouting so loudly about their Creator that, long hair is blowing behind you so hard by the strength of the sound that it risks being pulled out at its roots. 

Truth #2: The Field of Science Started with God

The early scientists began with the fact everything was created, and went about discovering the marvelous facts about how it worked.   The fact there is a Creator of things was never originally questioned, it was so obviously so to them.  The universe exhibits intelligent design, not randomness.  If there were no orderliness, there could be no science, for everything would be unpredictable.  Logic itself demands constant truth.

Truth #3: Science Leads to the Truth of God

Even if one begins with the notion that God does not exist, when honestly pursued, true science uncovers ever increasing evidence of creative order and design.  Behe's Irreducible Design not merely disproves Darwin, but loudly declares that no amount of time, not a year, not a million, not a trillion years can possibly produce life forms.  A single cell, even an amoeba, is so remarkable that it is far more obvious it has a designer than someone who stumbles upon a wristwatch in the desert. Instantly the finder of the watch say, who built this, rather than, Wow, what an amazing feat of wind, rain, and sand.    Irreducible Design is illustrated by a traditional spring mouse trap -- even at only 4-5 components, if any one of them is missing the trap is useless.  In living cells, depending on the criteria used, between 250 and 600 essential components must be present and functioning—without one of them, the organism could not survive.

Truth #4; The Blind Eye and Deaf Ear 

Many modern scientists deliberately ignore evidence.  The refusal to follow evidence is not about data, but worldview.  Einstein, for example, resisted evidence about the beginning of the universe even though his own math pointed to it.  Researchers working with Mycoplasma genitalium, one of the simplest known bacteria, have under ideal lab conditions identified around 256 essential genes needed for its survival. That is 256 components that must instantly exist all at once, otherwise the bacteria would never have existed and will instantly cease.

These studies help reinforce the point: even the simplest cells need hundreds of coordinated parts to function.

So yes, the Truth Project’s assertion holds firm—life at the cellular level is irreducibly complex, and removing even one critical component can be fatal. Lab-engineered examples underscore how science has tested and confirmed that reality.

• If a system requires all its parts simultaneously to function, and if none of those parts provide any selectable advantage individually or in partial combinations, then Darwinian evolution is logically impossible to produce it.
• This means time becomes irrelevant: whether you have ten million years or ten trillion, natural selection has nothing to select: The complete system must appear at once.   In magic we are wowed when out of nothing seems to appear a dove or rabbit. Imagine the surprise if we saw a foot, then a heart, then a lung... and into what would the heart pump, and into where would the blood go?  Even in illusion one would have to appear as a whole being lest the illusion be lost.  There is no such illusion in real life.  Wholeness of parts is required for it to exist.

• Evolution by natural selection requires incremental functionality. Every step must confer some advantage that can be selected. No intermediate = no evolution, by definition.

If species-to-species transitions were possible, they wouldn’t hinge on one or two minor tweaks; species differ by hundreds or even thousands of traits. A change requiring only a few steps might seem plausible, but a change requiring hundreds should leave a substantial trail of intermediates—in the fossil record or among living forms. Such intermediates do not exist; and even if one or two candidates are proposed, the absence of the many others that should also appear makes it far more likely that those few are coincidental rather than evidence of a genuine mutational pathway. 

There are no half‑species walking the earth, none in museums, none in the strata as living links; yet, if transitions require countless coordinated steps, there should be countless intermediates—layer upon layer, line upon line. Instead, there is silence, filled not with specimens but with idols: diagrams, reconstructions, and narratives repeated until they function as articles of religion. What should be tested like a scientific claim is instead guarded like a belief system—evolution preached from the lectern as doctrine, not demonstrated in the field as evidence.
