This Layman’s Guide is intended to reveal the simple logic of scientific TRUTH. The author of this guide is not a research scientist. This information has been compiled from an abundance of easily accessible and verifiable scientific authorities. The majority of the information is common knowledge in the scientific realm, and sources of lesser known facts are cited. Do not quote the author as a scientific authority. This guide is intended to systematically build the case for Biblical Creation through the logical alignment and application of the abundance of established scientific facts. |

Brief List of Facts from throughout the Guide
Click on main units to access each list 1) First law of Thermodynamics 2) Something is eternal 3) Law of Constant Mass 4) All matter would have pre-existed Big Bang 5) Gravity is a weak force and the product of mass 6) Matter is not eternal, Energy is not eternal 7) Matter comes only from Matter 8) Energy and matter (mass) are relative (E=MC2) 9) Second law of Thermodynamics (entropy) 10) Big Bang cannot be the beginning of time 11) Time is observed in changes in matter 11) Gases naturally repel, not condense 12) For every effect there is a cause 13) Structure of atom would predate Big Bang 14) Fundamental forces defy Big Bang behavior of matter: Gravity, Electromagnetic, and Nuclear 15) Laws of motion prevent Big Bang behavior of matter, (and Angular momentum) 16) Facts of solar system defy laws of matter and motion 17) Gravity too weak to capture moving bodies
1) Perfect physical conditions on earth for life 2) Life only comes from life 3) Life too complex to emerge from non-living chemicals 4) Living cells and nucleic acids are inseparable 5) Impossible to create life ourselves 6) The complex chemicals responsible for life do not naturally self-assemble 7) Oxygen interferes with chemicals 8) Oxygen is essential to our living world 9) Photosynthesis is the only biological process that produces oxygen 10) The average lifespan of bacteria is about 30 minutes 11) Mitosis and Meiosis are too different to evolve multi-celled animals 12) Every cell in an organism carries its entire genetic code 13) Sex cells must carry a specific configuration of DNA to be fertilized and reproduce 14) First multi-celled organisms recognized in the fossil record are an unimaginable jump to complex animals 15) Species are determined by parental DNA and Heredity principles are predictable 16) Mutations destroy genetic information (entropy) and hinder success 17) Natural selection uses existing genetic variation and narrows existing genes 18) The rare vestigial organs are an example of genetic loss, not expansion 19) Genetic Equilibrium dictates specific circumstances where new DNA can take over a population 20) Genetic Evidence refutes macro-evolution 21) Unsuccessful species die 22) Even bacteria cannot demonstrate that survival is in mutations 23) DNA is programmed with species stability 24) Genetic barriers prevent breeding outside species, demonstrating established “kinds” 25) Centromere histone protiens vary by species despite “common ancestor” theory 26) Successful species promote genetic stasis through genetic equilibrium 27) There is not enough species isolation and genetic innovation to enact macro-evolution 28) Examples, like the eye evolved suddenly 29) Dinosaur could not sprout feathers from non-follicle scales 30) New genetic information is not added to DNA through mutation 31) Example of butterflies and beetles refute biological evolution 32) Plant complexity defies evolutionary processes 33) DNA is a symbolic language 34) Thought is not a biological function programmable by evolution 35) Animals have pre-programmed instincts 36) Humans and Chimps too genetically separate for evolutionary timeline 37) Only humans possess language skills 38) Humans do not have the survival tools to validate ape origins strength, weapons, body form . . .
1) The fossil record does not substantiate evolutionary transitions 2) Fossil record shows species stasis 3) More variety in past then present (entropy) 4) Cambrian explosion—no fossil links 5) Vertebrate explosion—no fossil links 6) Tetrapods—no agreed upon fish/amphibian candidates 7) No ancestor for all three amphibian body types 8) Mammals: no fossil history for development of complex features 9) Reptiles to mammals—gaps and overlap: no agreed links, over “100 million year” dormancy. 10) Fossil progression interpretation is completely interpretive 11) Unrelated animal groups inexplicably share complex traits 12) The eye is fully formed by first evolutionary level 13) Marsupials fossils are widespread with no history 14) No fossils to show whale evolution 15) No Fossil history to show inexplicably risky transitions 16) Species do not come up with new genetic material to survive—they just die 17) No fossil history for progress of plants 18) No fossils to show progress of insects 19) The dino to bird transition is backwards 20) New Link “Ida” sensation too old for a human link 20) No link between 3 ½ foot Lucy ape and man agreed upon by even evolutionists 21) Hominid gaps and overlaps contradict Evolutionary predictions 22) Neanderthals are finally acknowledged as fully human 23) Neanderthal DNA tests contradict supposed age 24) “Cavemen” and Ancient civilization fit within the young earth progress 25) Unchanged “living fossils” defy evolutionary premise
1) Earth is perfectly configured for life 2)No explanation for abundant water on the earth 3) Water is the most common chemical compound on the face of the earth 4) Water molecule bonds are broken at 2,000 degrees Celsius 5) Cool troposphere needed to permit water condensation 6) Oxygen is the most profuse element on the earth 7) Marine fossils prove the earth was once entirely covered by water 8) Fossil sea life covers every continent, and is generally mixed with terrestrial fossils 9) No way to measure the age of the earth 10) Radioisotope tests are ambitiously inaccurate 11) Radioactive decay applied based on unverified assumptions 12) Reliance on radiometric dating confirms entropy always existed 13) Radiometric dating is not scientifically verifiable and offers numerous errant or contradictory conclusions 14) Many facts support a young earth: Celestial, biological, chemical, coal and even T Rex bones 15) Population growth rates prove that the human population can only be about 4,300 years old 16) Iridium spike at K-T boundary points to massive worldwide volcanism at massive exterminations 17) Fossil evidence proves that all forms of life were abundant before “Cretaceous/Tertiary” mass extinction 18) Fossil evidence proves that birds were fully developed into major species well before dinosaur extinction 19) Mass extinction evidence only reveals that all these plants and animals died and were quickly buried 20) Only about 5% strata available for the supposed “Geological Column” at any given site around the world 21) “Geologic column” corresponds to mixed remains of ecological zones 22) Terrestrial and Marine “index fossils” are frequently and inexplicably mixed in the same location 23) Fossils are formed by water and sediments 24) Delicate fossil preservations (jellyfish, crinoids, insects, leaves, feathers, hair ) point to rapid burial 25) Terrestrial (land) animals are also buried in water borne sediments, requiring a “flood” type event 26) Massive fossil graveyards establish the effects of water cataclysm, showing great collection by cataclysm 27) Inconceivable circumstances are used to explain catastrophic mixed ages, mixed systems such as leaves or clams, bazaar burials, fish graves and mixed animal burials 28) Upright fossils such as trees and Polystratic fossils such as large animals, disprove uniformitarianism 29) Misplaced animals, plants, pollen and mixed age fossils disprove evolution 30) Vast sediment deposits confirm a world flood 31) The different types of worldwide sediments indicate their deposition environment: limestone (carbonate), sandstone, mud/shale, and conglomerate. 32) No evidence of surface exposure between era gaps 33) Rosh Hanikra formation absolutely proves a worldwide rapid deposit of limestone 34) Dead Sea basin proves that the ocean was once at least hundreds of feet higher 35) Mt. Sdom is a salt deposit from a massive water evaporation 36) Massive formations are eroded from sediments indicating vast water events 37) Grand Canyon was carved before uplift 38) Grand Canyon sediments are over a mile deep 38) Grand Canyon plateau exhibits numerous evidences of classic catastrophic flood traits 40) Rapid deposition indicated by contact points of layers, lack of erosion, and type of sedimentation 41) Breccia, conglomerate and mud confirm flood 42) Fossils of crinoids, Nautiloids, and amphibian tracks confirm rapid burial 43) Vulcan’s Throne lava flow into the canyon proves recent activity 44) Mt. St. Helens’ eruption demonstrates catastrophic effects: rapid deposition and erosion, petrification 45) Worldwide incomprehensibly vast fossil fuel deposits confirm an immense world-simultaneous flood 46) No uniformitarian conditions today will yield fossil fuels, indicating catastrophic conditions required 47) It takes 3-7 feet of organic plant matter to yield one foot of coal 48) It does not take millions of years to create fossil fuels—we can do it in a lab 49) All coal deposits yield measurable Carbon 14 making them “younger” than the things that died in them 50) Requirements to create fossil fuels are the exact circumstances created by a worldwide Flood 51) Banded Iron Formations require a worldwide simultaneous cataclysmic waterborne sedimentation event 52) Innumerable volcanic rock and sediment formations indicate rapid underwater deposition 53) Mountains arose after worldwide fossil deposition, as seen in numerous fossils 54) 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water; would cover it by 1.7 miles without the mountains 55) Ice Age requires sudden cataclysm 56) No fact disputes a worldwide flood, but all indicate it is indisputable fact |
