Excerpt from ‘Why I Believe’ by D. James Kennedy May 18, 2010
I have been reading through a book called ‘Why I Believe’ by D. James Kennedy (pgs. 53-55)….and came across these couple of paragraphs which I found to be very interesting regarding evolution. Ignore the misspellings and typos…I typed most of this with a baby on my lap :)). Enjoy!
….Then consider the creation of life. Darwin repeatedly referred to the simple single cell. With the crude microscopes available in his time, the single cell looked a little bit like a tiny basketball with a seed in the middle of it. But now the human cell is known to be fantastically complex, made up of hundreds of thousands of smaller protein molecules, and Harvard University paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson tells us that a single protein molecule is the most complicated substance known to mankind. A single cell is so infinitely complex that it boggles the minds of scientists who have studied it.
A recent science that has developed is the science of probability. Dr. James Coppedge, PH.D., director of the Center for Probability Research in Biology in California, applied all the laws of probability studies to the possibility of a single cell coming into existence by chance. He considered in the same way a single protein molecule, and even a single gene. His discoveries are revolutionary. He computed a world in which the entire crust of the earth- all the oceans, all the atoms, and the whole crust were available. He then had these amino acids bind at a rate one and one-half trillion times faster than they do in nature. In computing the possibilities, he found that to provide a single protein molecule by chance combination would take 10,262 years. Most of us do not have any idea what that means. To get a single cell-the single smallest living cell known to mankind-which is called the mycroplasm hominis H 39, would take 10,119,841 years. That means that if you took thin pieces of paper and wrote one and then wrote zeros after them, you would fill up the entire known universe with paper before you could ever even write that number. That is how many years it would take to make one living cell, one smaller than any human cell!
In trying to explain to us the length of time it would take for chance to produce one usable gene, Dr. Coppedge suggested that we imagine a single amoeba trying to carry the entire known universe one atom at a time across the entire width of the universe (which astronomers estimate to be thirty billion light-years). At what speed would this energetic and never-dying one-celled animal carry out this stupendous task? Dr. Coppedge reduced its speed to the slowest conceivable speed, namely, one angstrom unit every fifteen billion years. This means that the amoeba would be traveling the width of the smallest known atom, the hydrogen atom, in the supposed entire time that the universe has existed, that is, fifteen billion years. At this incredibly slow speed, how long would it take our super-persistent amoeba to move the entire universe over the width of one universe? The time requirement for such a trans galactic job are mind-boggling. However, before one usable gene could be produced by chance, our indefatigable amoeba would not only have moved the entire universe one atom at a time, but it would have also have moved more universes than the four billion people living on this planet could count if every one of them counted twenty-four hours a day as fast as they could for the next five thousand years. Yet evolutionists would have us believe that things vastly more complex than this happen all the time.
Josie and the Vaseline. April 26, 2010
Well…it was a typical evening. Put the kids to bed at 8:00, listen to them talk, holler, laugh, and sing for two hours….then silence. Success. Or so I thought.
It was about 10:30 when I went to check on them… turn out the spinning fish night light…tuck and kiss. And thats when I saw them…both in the crib. Josie had gotten out of her twin sized big-girl bed (that she’s not allowed to get out of…) and climbed up onto the rocking plush purple elephant, scaled the crib bars, and hopped into bed with Fletcher. They were both fast asleep amid lots of blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals (Josie brings alot of baggage wherever she goes…).
Like any good mother would, I ran to get the camera. I turned on the light to get a better picture….and a better picture I did get. My darling toddler had gotten into the diaper crate on top of the dresser beside the crib. There were those little orange plastic diaper bags all over….wipes on the floor…and vaseline. Vaseline was everywhere. There was a wooden spoon stuck in the tub of petroleum jelly…and Josie’s face was shining. The crib was covered in a nice layer of gloss, as were the dresser, pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. By a miracle of God, Fletcher had remained un-glossed and was still fast asleep.
I took Josie to the shower…and washed her hair…and washed her hair…and washed her hair….(ever tried to wash Vaseline out of hair? Dont. Her hair was still greasy the next day) Matthew cleaned up the bedroom…we put in a load of jelly-ed bedding, and put the kids back to bed.
It was a night to remember. And I have the pictures and video to ensure that we do. We survived another Josie-incident. (Course it was the next day when I realized that the wall was still shining…..)
