1. Reasons to Believe part 1
faith
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

2. I. The Bible affirms a 6 Day creation by God
Day (יֹ֥ום ) + first, second, etc. = 24 hours or less
Ex 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

3. Exodus 31:15-17
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come.…

4. Exodus 31:15-17
…as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.’

5. II. Bible says God is the creator
Isaiah 45:18 For this is what the Lord says— he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.
Proverb 8: as a potter working with clay - formed it and filled it

6. Mark 10:6 From the beginning God…made them male and female
Jesus said
Matthew 19:4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Mark 10:6 From the beginning God…made them male and female
MAPS - bible is reliable source document

7. Jesus is the Creator
John 1:2-3 He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

8. Jesus is the Creator
Heb 1:2-3 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

9. Jesus is the Creator
Col 1:16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
V15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. - Jesus not 1st created then other things..

10. III. Death is the result of Sin
Rom 5: Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—for before the law was given, sin was in the world.
See Genesis 3

11. Death is the result of Sin
Rom 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. (Rom 5:17-19)

12. Death is the result of Sin
Rom 5:17-19 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation...

13. Death is the result of Sin
…for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

14. Death is the result of Sin
1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
All who believe -

15. IV. Evidence from Design
Causality & Uniformity (regularity)
Every event has a cause & that similar past events also have a similar cause to present ones.
Difference between random & redundant verses complex information & design
Complex design & information demands a watch maker - Watch needs watch maker, laptop needs DELL designers, Mold on side of tree…more info than computer

16. Principle of Uniformity
Natural Cause
Water Falls
Crystals
Sand Dunes
Round Stone
Dirt
Intelligent Cause
Power plant
Chandelier
Sand Castle
Arrowhead
DNA
Watch and watch maker, design needs a designer, Machines need builders, Lap Top vs ocean foam
Redundant
Random
No information
Complex design
Ordered
Conveys information

17. Divine proportion in creation
Each number is sum of the 2 preceding numbers: 1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144…
Ratio of 1.6 or 0.6
Great Pyramid Egypt; UN building; Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh, Whistler, Monet,
Fibonacci numbering sequence, 1.618, Golden ratio, golden triangle;

18. Golden ratio
Hurricanes, spiral seeds, cochlea of human ear, ram’s horn, sea-horse tail, fern leaves, DNA molecule, waves breaking on beach, tornados, galaxies, tail of a comet, whirlpools, seed patterns of sunflowers, daisies, dandelions, arrangement of leaves around a plant’s stem and flower petals and the planets around sun
Fibonacci numbering sequence, 1.618, Golden ratio, golden triangle;

19. V. Evidence of a young earth
Thousands not billions of years

20. Reasons to believe in creation
Bible affirms a 6 day creation
Jesus said God is the creator
Death is the result of sin
Complex design & information demands a designer
The Earth is young

21. 1. Soft dinosaur tissue
Dinosaur soft tissue find—a stunning rebuttal of “millions of years” T-Rex bone
65 million yr old bone would have no carbon or blood, - why not say this is a surviving TRex? Because then you would have to redate the geological formation it was discovered in…millions to thousands…

22. Fossilization can be quick
boot was hand made by M. L. Leddy boot company of San Angelo, Texas in 1950’s and found in West Texas town of Iraan, around 1980 by Mr. Jerry Stone

23. 2. Potassium-argon dating errors
Volcanic eruption & Radiometric dating
Mt Etna, Sicily -122 BC vs 330,000 yrs
Mt Etna, Sicily vs 490,000 yrs
Mt St. Helens, Washington vs 400,000 yrs
Hualalai, Hawaii –1801 vs million years old
Kilauea Iki basalt, Hawaii vs million years old
Vs Mass spectromnier that measures C14 in living objects & they know it is wrong

24. 3. Radiocarbon cover up
Mass spectromnier - RATE - Radioisotopes and Age of The Earth - stop breathing no more C14 gain

25. Radiocarbon cover up C14 found in Dinosaur bones
C14 found in coal samples
C14 found in diamonds
Helium in deep granite points to an earth thousands of years old, not billions after measuring its consistent leak rate from zirconium crystals
Thousands not billions years ,000 years & confirmed by leak rate of He found in Zirconium crystals in Granite rocks

26. 4. Living fossils Coelacanth fish Wollemi Pine
Clams, worms, misquotieos, millipedes, frogs, todes, turtles, crocodiles, alligators, bats, squirrels, blue-green algae, that are unchanged - Coelacanth found 1938 off Africa, Wollemi pine in Australia but fossil record 150 million years show no trace of the pine or fish - others: Graptolites, Tuatara, Lepidocaris crustacean, Metasequoia conifer tree; Neopilina mollusk, lingula brachiopod, trilobite

27. 5. Dinosaur & human tracks
Dinosaur and human tracks together. A series of 14 human footprints with at least 134 dinosaur tracks in the bed of the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose, Texas.
No extinct 65 million years ago - evolutionist tried to destroy these tracks with sledge hammer

28. 2 Evolutionists deny and tried to Destroy evidence after Dr Don Patton published his discovery - it can’t be human tracks because its in layer that predates man 65 million years? Or yrs wrong…

29. 6. Recent eyewitness accounts
Leviathan & Behemoth:
Job 40-41; Isaiah 27:1
Dragon/monster - Genesis 1:21; Ps.74:13; Isaiah 34:13; Micah 1:8; Malachi 1:3

30. In literature, dragons are a universal ancient motif
In literature, dragons are a universal ancient motif. Dragons are found in the early literature of the English, Irish, Danish, Scandinavians, Germans, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Babylonians. Among the American Indians, legends of dragons flourished
Crees, Algonquins, Onondagas, Ojibways, Hurons, Chinooks, Shoshones, and Alaskan Eskimos

36. The submarine commander and some of his officers reported:
Eyewitness accounts
North Atlantic during World War I with the sinking of the British steamer Iberian by the German U-boat.
The submarine commander and some of his officers reported:
Not mythical and they were alive in recent history

37. ‘A little later pieces of wreckage, and among them a gigantic sea-animal, writhing and struggling wildly, were shot out of the water to a height of 60 to 100 feet …‘We did not have the time to take a photograph, for the animal sank out of sight after 10 or 15 seconds …‘It was about 60 feet long, was like a crocodile in shape and had four limbs with powerful webbed feet and a long tail tapering to a point.’

38. 1200 AD Stegosaurus in Cambodian temple

42. Ankylosarus

43. Iguanodon

46. 7. Human Population reflects a young earth
The Bible says that around 2500 BC (4,500 years ago) the worldwide Flood reduced the world’s population to eight people.
The population doubles every 150 years, so 4,500 years is more than enough time to reach the present population of 6.5 billion.
But population growth is not linear, growth rate increases as population increases - until equilibrium reached - at current 2% growth rate it would take 1100 years to reach 6 billion people.

47. There is no sign of Human History before 4000 bc
Genetic deterioration is a time bomb to extinction since mutations accumulate in the DNA of all organisms.
Mitochondrial Eve - mtDNA, revised to 7,500 years
Evolutionists have long known that if the mutation rate were as high as one per generation in the reproductive line, genetic deterioration would be a certainty. But the measured rate is between 100 to 300 harmful mutations per person that are fixed within the population - dr Kondrashov, the human population should have died out 100 times over - dna lasts around 10000

48. 8. Human Genealogies: Gen. 5,11
4000 BC, Flood 2500 BC, Abraham 2100; Moses 1500; DAVID 1000 BC

51. 9. Rapid formation geological layers
Radiohalos indicate that Jurassic, Triassic, Eocene geological formations were deposited within months not 100’s millions years of one another
Smoothness (no erosion) between geological layers indicates rapid formation
Trans-continental geological layers
Global flood from trans-continental layers; Polonium 210, 214,218 Radiohalos, rings formed around radioactive minerals in rock crystals. ½ life of 3 min for 218 and 164 micro sec for 214. thus they had to have cooled quickly for the rings to have been made not millions of years

52. Polystrate fossil tree passing through sedimentary rock  suggesting rapid deposition. Nova Scotia. 

53. Fluidized Pipe indicates rapid formation
Kodachrome Basin State Park in Utah, formed when surrounding sandstone was soft.

54. Smoothly folded strata
South Austrilia

55. Mount St. Helens
140 foot deep, 20 mile long canyon formed in 2 days – Toutle Canyon 1/40 Grand Canyon
600 feet thick deposits laid down by mud flow
One 25-foot-thick deposit with thousands of thin layers of strata deposited in a few hours
Rapid geogological layers

56. Vertical rootless trees deposited in Spirit Lake
Mount St. Helens
Vertical rootless trees deposited in Spirit Lake
Peat bed formed at the bottom of Spirit Lake
All that is needed is for the peat bed to be buried and coal could be formed with Polystrate fossil trees
Rapid geogological layers

57. 10. Oil Formation, Oil Gushers, Rock Formation
10, ,000; Industrial park in Philly that transforms organic waste products into oil in days - Burried organic materials - 8,000 psi pressure dissapates into surrounding rock and surface

58. Evidence for young Earth
11. Ocean Saltiness 12. Ocean floor mud - could be attained in 1000’s years not millions 13. Coral Reef formation dated to 5958 years
Ca & Na 1-32 million; sediment 30 millon; 10,000 Coral reef formation - not billions years. And assumes no world wide flood

59. 14. Stalactites & Stalagmites only 55yrs old @ Queensland, Australia
Sign outside of Carlsbad Caverns from read 260 million yrs old; 1988 changed to 7-10 million; then 2 million & now the sign is gone…7 inches over 10 day period…

60. 15. Greenland’s ice sheets
The average depth of the Greenland ice sheet today is 5,250 feet with a max depth of 11,045 feet
During World War II, six P-38 Lightning fighters and two B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft were forced to ditch on the southeast Greenland ice sheet, 18 miles from the ocean.
6.5 feet/year , 808 years 5280 ft & 1700 years for 11,045 feet

61. Greenland’s ice sheets
A team went back to recover them in the late 1980’s and discovered that the planes were buried under 260 feet of ice and snow that had accumulated since 1942
@6.5 feet/year it would take 1700yrs to accumulate 11,045 feet of ice & snow.
6.5 feet/year , 808 years 5280 ft & 1700 years for 11,045 feet

62. 17. The existence of Comets
16. Receding Moon -
17. The existence of Comets
Sagan and Druyan: ‘Many scientific papers are written each year about the Oort Cloud, its properties, its origin, its evolution. Yet there is not yet a shred of direct observational evidence for its existence’
Comets do not exceed 10,000-25,000

63. 18. Supernovas
A supernova, or violently exploding star, is one of the most brilliant and powerful objects in God’s vast cosmos. On average, a galaxy like our own, the Milky Way, should produce 1 supernova every 25 years.
25 years X 200 = 5,000 years
200 observed supernovas

64. 19. Earth’s Magnetic Field is decreasing
Between 1835 and 1965 geophysicists had made some 26 measurements of the magnetic dipole moment of the earth’s magnetic field. When plotted against time these data points fitted a decay curve which Barnes calculated had a ‘halflife’ of only 1,400 years. So he concluded that the earth’s magnetic field was less than 10,000 years old

65. 20. Saturn’s Rings & Enceladus: A Cold, Youthful Moon
Why arent the rings diffused?

67. 22. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
This basic law of science reveals that complex, ordered arrangements actually tend to become simpler and more disorderly with time. There is an irreversible downward trend ultimately at work throughout the universe. Evolution, with its ever increasing order and complexity, appears impossible in the natural world.
Language, Mother Earth isn’t alive, more time doesn’t help - Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith:
"What is the difference then between a stick, which is dead, and an orchid which is alive? The difference is that the orchid has teleonomy in it. It is a machine which is capturing energy to increase order. Where you have life, you have teleonomy, and then the Sun's energy can be taken and make the thing grow - increasing its order"

68. 23. Light Travel and Einstein’s theory
Gravity warps time so that distant clocks run faster than those near the center of a gravitational field.
It’s also possible that our atmosphere decreases the speed of light
C has been decreasing in value, slowing since it was first measured

69. 24. Universe is not eternal
It had a beginning - radiation echo & expansion
It is running down - 2nd Law Thermodynamics
An infinite # of actual moments is impossible since you can not add 1 more to infinity.
Not at a steady state - but exploded into being & is expanding
Infinity can not be increased by one & every event needs a cause, Alians

70. Jastrow, God and the astronomers
“The scientist’s pursuit of the past ends in the moment of creation. This is an exceedingly strange development, unexpected by all but the theologians. They have always accepted the word of the bible: in the beginning God created heaven and earth.”

71. Will you worship and serve our great Creator?
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1
