The Uniqueness of a Human Being

Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
From ESV Translation

JGL comment: God knows each one of our beginnings and endings even before they occur. Is this predestination? I think not. For God desires for all to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 2:9), yet not all do ( 2 Thessalonians 2:10). God exists outside of time, He is from everlasting (Revelation 22:13). He knows who will turn in repentance before they even know themselves. Yet, He is deeply grieved by those who do not repent (Hebrews 3:10). And all mankind has had revelation of God to them (Psalm 97:6).

Let us turn to the Lord while He may be found, and He will forgive. He has good plans for each of our lives.

Dinosaur National Park-Catastrophy

Does the massive aggregate of dinosaur bones at Dinosaur National Monument represent dinosaurs gradually dying and setting in the "ooze" of a swamp, or does it represent massive flooding and a massive catastrophic burial of herds of them? I believe the evidence is supportive of the later and it is consistent with massive regional or worldwide flooding-such as the Noah Flood.

Dragonflies: Examples of Variation and Stasis Support Creation and Evidence Against Evolution

Stasis and Variation
In my mind "living fossils", those organisms found as fossils and yet morphologically very similar to living organisms, are profound observations that present major problems for evolution. A fragile dragonfly unchanged over 200 million years-how? What about gene mutational load-evolution would suppose that by "natural selection" those weaker, debilitated and mutated dragonflies would perish, and that mutated dragonflies with supposed helpful mutations would have further "advanced" towards another form of life. But how does one explain the observed stasis-it argues directly against gene mutational load (which is observed) occurring over time. Of course, conjectures can be made about how isolated populations were preserved and did not mutate-but it is pure conjecture and not consistent with what is seen, and as a past event is non-testable. Again, conjecturing does not explain how these organisms were not affected by observed gene mutational load (seen currently) over supposed vast periods of time. Evolutionists make many assumptions that are non-testable but fit their worldview (not a theory). And it may not be stasis at all. There are many problems with dating the age of the earth (see geology section) and Jurassic dragonflies may not be 200 million years older that current ones. Compress the time and stasis is no longer stasis and the data has a more reasonable explanation.

Variation is yet another problem for evolutionists. There are wide morphological differences in many different life forms within a given group, yet no empirical data exists to demonstrate one life form progressively developing into another group of life forms-even with such wide variation occurring within groups. Accelerating mutation rates among "simple" life forms, like bacteria, does not produce new life forms only variation (much of it debilitating). Evolution is not demonstrated by variation. Yet variation, within a given group of life forms, can be an accepted part of a created design concept.

The Nuturing of a Mother for Her Offspring Explained by a Creator but not by Evolution

Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! King James Version (KJV) How often has God wanted to gather people under His wings (figurative) but they would not. How great is His mercy to each of us? Let each of us call upon the Lord.
