Just a quick note:
I’ve added a new general information page to the site. When anything related to the site changes (not blog posts) I’ll put the information there. A new tab has been added at the top navigation bar and you can also see it here.
Have a great day,
Randy
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3
It amazes me that people say that science and the Bible contradict each other. When you use the scientific method the way it was intended, investigating the facts and arriving at an unbiased conclusion (not starting with a theory and bending the facts to back it up), you are faced with the undeniable conclusion that all creation was designed by an extremely powerful and intelligent being.
As an example, I want to look at DNA, but before I do, let me say that I am in no way an expert. I'm not a biologist or a chemist. My background is in electrical engineering. So I apologize in advance for any mistakes I might make when diving into this very complex subject. That being said, let's look at what we know.
Dawinism claims that life evolved from simple life forms into more complex forms, although this is in complete contridiction to the law of entropy. But DNA is an extremely complex molecule that in many ways still defies understanding by even the most knowledgeable in the field. So, let's look at what it takes to make up DNA.
DNA is a string of molecules made up of four nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine, abbreviated as A T G C. .(Uracil -U is substituted for Thymine in the RNA) Three of them are used at a time to make up 64 possible combinations. 61 combinations are used to make the 20 amino acids in the DNA strand. These amino acids are assembled into over 100,00 various proteins. The last 3 are like punctuation. They are start and stop codes. (See Figure 1)
The combinations of various proteins, tied together with sugar molecules, are sequenced in specific ways to hold the information needed to create the various cells in the body. It's interesting to note that the code for, say, a brain cell is not all together. It is spaced out and has to be detected and assembled to get the information needed. This is patterned exactly like the skip sequence codes found in the original Greek and Hebrew texts of the Bible. When all this information is assembled together it looks like this:
To get an idea of how complex this is, take a look at the list of amino acids needed to make up a single blood cell. (See Figure 2) With all these components, in exactly the right order and the right quantity, it's amazing that a blood cell could even exist. Using these amino acids in this set of quantities, there are 7.4×10503 possible ways to combine them. That's 1,000,000….(503 zeros)! Only 1 possible combination makes a hemoglobin cell. Anything out of order would be fatal. This is what sickle cell anemia is.
It is generally accepted that any chance occurance greater that 1×1032 is impossible.
Keep in mind that evolution claims that this incredibly complex string of coded information that is imbedded in every "simple cell" formed over a period of time accidentally. Besides the law of entropy, I already mentioned, it ignores the fact that if ANY piece of this puzzle is missing, the cell would die and could not evolve into anything else. In order for DNA to work it has to be ALL there from the start.

It’s been a pretty busy couple of weeks and I’ve gotten a little behind on things. A while ago I posted a notice on the forum that I would be closing it down on July 15 because, well, nobody is using it. It dawned on me that the notice probably didn’t get seen by anybody because it was on the forum and … nobody is using it.
So I’m postponing the end date until August 1st. If the forum is still dead by then I will take it offline. I hate to see it go, I had high expectations for it. This site, however, is doing well and even if it wasn’t I would continue to keep it current as much as possible.
Which brings me to my next point. I have to apologize for the lack of posts during the last couple of weeks. Like I said, it’s been pretty busy around here with my on-line business and I’ve let this site sink on my priority list. That’ll change. After all, this is where my heart is and should be my number one priority. Expect to see more posts soon.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks. For those of you that haven’t heard, I was attacked by an extremely tough computer virus that wouldn’t die. I’ve spent the last two weeks cleaning, repairing and then starting over after it grew back. Well, I’ve reinstalled Windows and most of the programs I lost and after spending a bunch of money with Trend Micro for their Internet Security Pro, I’m finally clean again.
I haven’t updated ANY of my sites since this all began. I was afraid of touching anything online. (I could hear my router crying “unclean, unclean!” – Now I know how a leper feels.)
Well, the crisis is over and I’ll be adding new posts soon (assuming, of course, that we’re not raptured out this weekend =) )
Just wanted you all to know I’m back in business.
See ya soon,
Randy
IntelliBible.com has been online for a few weeks now and a lot of people have joined the mailing list. Thank you.
But the forum is getting ignored. The forum was set up so we could all help each other and exchange ideas and discoveries. It’s a great place to ask each other questions and get answers. Right now there aren’t many people registered.
Do yourself, and me, a favor and click on the forum tab at the top of the screen and join up. And most importantly, get involved. We should be able to get some pretty active discussions going, if the Sunday class that some of you are in is any indication.
Thank you for your support,
Randy
