9. Mutation
“The fact that the genetic code can
simultaneously write two kinds of
information means that many DNA
changes that appear to alter protein
sequences may actually cause
disease by disrupting gene control
programs or even both mechanisms
simultaneously”
Genome scientist Dr. John Stamatoyannopoulus

10. Evolutionary microbiologist James Shapiro, University of Chicago…
“There are no detailed Darwinian accounts
for the evolution of any fundamental
biochemical or cellular systems, only a
variety of wishful speculations.”

18. Study casts doubt on creationism
October 24, 2007
The St Bernard dog – named after the 11th century priest Bernard of Menthon – may have ironically
challenged the theory of creationism, say scientists. Biologists at The University of Manchester say
that changes to the shape of the breed’s head over the years can only be explained through
evolution and natural selection.
The team, led by Dr Chris Klingenberg in the Faculty of Life Sciences, examined the skulls of 47 St
Bernards spanning 120 years, from modern examples to those of dogs dating back to the time when
the breed standard was first defined. “We discovered that features stipulated in the breed standard of
the St Bernard became more exaggerated over time as breeders selected dogs that had the desired
physical attributes,” said Dr Klingenberg. “In effect they have applied selection to move the
evolutionary process a considerable way forward, providing a unique opportunity to observe sustained
evolutionary change under known selective pressures.”
The findings, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences tomorrow
(Wednesday), are based on studies of St Bernard skulls donated by Swiss breeders to the Natural
History Museum in Berne. Compared to their ancestors, modern St Bernards have broader skulls,
while the angle between the nose and the forehead is steeper in modern dogs and they have also
developed a more pronounced ridge above the eyes.
“These changes are exactly in those features described as desirable in the breed standards. They are
clearly not due to other factors such as general growth and they provide the animal with no physical
advantage, so we can be confident that they have evolved purely through the selective
considerations of breeders.

RSR's List of Creation
Science Predictions

• 1998 - Debate with Eugenie Scott – DNA is not junk
• Dr. Russ Humphries planetary magnetic field strengths
• Hubble deep field images would look like nearby galaxies
• 100s more!

20. Mar 2012 - RSR predicts that
the Russian scientists who
evaluate the data obtained
from their 2-mile deep bore
hole into Lake Vostok in
Antarctica will be surprised to
find evidence that seems to
contradict the old-earth belief
that it has been sealed off
from light and air for 15
million years (i.e., three times
longer than it took to allegedly
evolve humans from chimp-like
creatures).

21. "Many of the species we sequenced are what we
would expect to find in a lake. Most of the
organisms appear to be aquatic (freshwater), and
many are species that usually live in ocean or
lake sediments." - Scott Rogers, Bowling Green State

27. “Horrendously Different!”

28. Team leader Dr. David Page of the Whitehead
Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge,
Mass said in the journal Nature (Jan 2010) that
the human and chimp Y chromosomes are
“horrendously different from each other”.
How different? Between 30 – 47%!
Dr Page continued: “…the difference in MSY
gene content in chimpanzee and human is more
comparable to the difference in autosomal gene
content in chicken and human…”.
Horrendous indeed!

32. “We never ever find a higher animal
mixed with a lower one”
According to Dr. Donald Burge, the curator of vertebrate paleontology at
the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, mammal fossils are found
in nearly every dinosaur dig that he has ever been associated with…
“We find mammals in almost all of our
[dinosaur dig] sites. These were not noticed
years ago … .

“In fact, according to average erosion rates, many or all of the layers
should be gone. Since they are there and flat, this indicates that the
millions of years postulated for these gaps never occurred. These flat
gaps are so common, that they pretty much challenge the validity of the
whole geologic time scale.” - Dr. Ariel Roth

Evolutionist Paleontologist Mark Czarnecki: “A
major problem in proving the theory has been
the fossil record… This record has never
revealed traces of Darwin’s hypothetical
intermediate variants – instead species
appear and disappear abruptly, and this
anomaly has fueled the creationist argument
that each species was created by God.”

105. Modern cosmology is built on the assumption that
the universe is essentially the same in whichever
direction we look. If the cosmic radiation has a
preferred direction, that assumption may have to go
- along with our best theories about cosmic history.
– New Scientist, 2009
“The discovery casts doubts on all contemporary
concepts of the nature and development of the
universe,” - Leonid Speransky, astrophysicist, the
Lomonosov State University in Moscow, 2006

106. Planck to the
Rescue?
“This disaster might be averted if we can show that the
axis arises from some oddity in the way our telescopes
and satellites observe the radiation….The European
Space Agency's recently launched Planck space telescope
might settle the issue when it makes the most sensitive
maps yet of the CMB. Until then, the axis of evil continues
to terrorise us.” – New Scientist, 2009

107. "The fact that Planck has made such a
significant detection of these anomalies
erases any doubts about their reality; it
can no longer be said that they are
artefacts of the measurements. They are
real and we have to look for a credible
explanation,"
- Paolo Natoli, European Space Agency, March 2013

108. The Axis of Good!
Isaiah 5, 20-21:
Woe to those who call evil good, and
good evil; Who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness; Who put bitter
for sweet, Woe to those who are wise in
their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!
and sweet for bitter!
Psalms 9, 1-2:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.

109. “Evolution makes predictions,
creation cannot”
Carnegie Institution For Science:
Today the universe is filled with galaxies that have
largely stopped forming stars, a sign of galactic
maturity. But in the distant past, galaxies were still
actively growing by consuming gas and turning it
into stars. This means that mature galaxies
should have been almost non-existent when
the universe was still young.

110. RSR's List of Evidence Against the Big Bang…
“ Fifteen mature galaxies were found at a
record-breaking average distance of 12 billion
light years, when the universe was just 1.6
billion years old…. The finding raises new
questions about how these galaxies formed so
rapidly and why they stopped forming stars so
early. It is an enigma that these galaxies
seem to come out of nowhere.”
Carnegie Institute for Science, May 14th, 2014

111. The Bible & Genetics
“Now the sons of Noah who
went out of the ark were Shem,
Ham, and Japheth… These three
were the sons of Noah, and from
these the whole earth was
populated.”
Gen 9:18-19

112. …But the LORD came down
to see the city and the tower
which the sons of men had
built. And the LORD said,
“Indeed the people are one and they all have one
language… “Come, let Us go down and there
confuse their language, that they may not
understand one another’s speech.” So the LORD
scattered them abroad from there over the face of
all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
Gen 11:1-8

113. These were the families of the
sons of Noah, according to their
generations, in their nations; and
from these the nations were
divided on the earth after the
flood.
Gen 10:32

114. The Bible & Genetics
 Y Chromosome - Male inheritance
 NO variation found in non-coding introns!
 All men trace back to single male ancestor

116. An Immoral Act…
‘None of you shall approach anyone near of
kin to uncover nakedness: I am the Lord. You
shall not uncover the nakedness of your father,
which is the nakedness of your mother…You
shall not uncover the nakedness of your
father’s wife; it is the nakedness of your
father… The man who lies with his father’s
wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness’
Also see Lev 20:20-21, Ezekiel 22:10–11
Lev 18:6-8, 20:11

117. Why was Canaan Cursed?
“Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became
uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw
the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers
outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on
both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the
nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away,
and they did not see their father’s nakedness. So Noah
awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had
done to him. Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant
of servants He shall be to his brethren.”
Genesis 9:21-25

118. Why was Canaan Cursed?
“Now the sons of Noah who went
out of the ark were Shem, Ham,
and Japheth. And Ham was the
father of Canaan. These three
were the sons of Noah, and from
these the whole earth was
populated.”
Gen 9:18-19

119. Origin of Language
Darwin
Bible
Darwin: “Language slowly and unconsciously
developed by many steps [from primitive language
consisting of grunts]” (Darwin, 1871, p. 55).

120. Origin of Language
People with least complex cultures have
sophisticated languages, with complex
grammar and large vocabularies, can
name and discuss anything that occurs in
the sphere occupied by their speaker…the
oldest language that can reasonably be
reconstructed is already modern,
sophisticated, and complete from an
evolutionary point of view.
Simpson, G.G. 1966. The biological nature of man. Science 152:476–477.

121. Origin of Language
MIT professor Noam Chomsky (1972): “Many
attempts have been made to determine an
evolutionary origin of language, and all have
failed”.

125. Defending the Bible
For the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal but mighty in God
for pulling down strongholds,
casting down arguments and
every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5

126. “Faith”, from Webster’s Dictionary:
2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to
God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines
of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something
for which there is no proof (2) : complete
trust
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1

127. “John the Baptist has sent us to You,
saying, 'Are You the Coming One, or do we
look for another?‘”
Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell
John the things you have seen and heard: that
the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are
cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
the poor have the gospel preached to them.
And blessed is he who is not offended
because of Me."
Luke 7: 20-23

128. "And do not be afraid of their
threats, nor be troubled." But
sanctify the Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to give a
defense to everyone who asks you
a reason for the hope that is in you,
with meekness and fear.
1 Peter 3:14-15
