2: Only Life given can give life:
Scientists have tried in vain to create life from non-life, or even from “soups” of laboratory chemicals. They have utterly failed! The law of biogenesis states that life can only come from life. Astrophysicist Hugh Ross comments on these failed attempts: “Even under highly favourable conditions of a laboratory, these soups have failed to produce anything remotely resembling life. One problem is that they produce only a random distribution of left- and right-handed pre-biotic molecules… Life chemistry demands that all the molecules be either right- or left-handed. With all our learning and technology we cannot even come close to bringing life together in the lab” (The Creator and the Cosmos, Ross, 1993, p. 148).
Even though science has never or not even once created life from non-life, some scientists are so determined to reject the idea of a Creator God that they put aside their own scientific objectivity and stake their belief on what science has shown to be impossible. The scientific method requires observation, experimentation and human reasoning. No physical experiment can “prove” God in a scientific sense.
Notice this quote by Nobel Prize-winning scientist George Wald: “The reasonable view was to believe in spontaneous generation; the only alternative, to believe in a single, primary act of supernatural creation. There is no third position. One has to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation” (“The Origin of Life,” Scientific American, August 1954, p. 46).
Amazing! A Nobel Prize-winning scientist calls it “impossible” yet believes it to be true! We must not be deceived by scientific theorizing that has no basis in reality. Wald’s phrase “spontaneous generation” may sound impressive, but however erudite such a phrase may sound, it is not scientific truth, and does not agree with true science and the real world! As true science recognizes, life can only come from life.
The Bible explains that life originally came from the Life-Giver: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7). Or, as the KJV has it, “man became a living soul.” God gave physical life to human beings and many other life forms. God is also the giver of spiritual life.
Proof 3: Laws Demand a Lawgiver. Science has discovered that our physical universe appeared from nothing. But how did this happen? Science cannot explain the origin of the universe, but there must be an answer. Contrary to what some believe, the Bible’s simple answer is consistent with true science: ”
Notice that the Bible does not tell us when this original creation occurred, only that there was a beginning of time, and a beginning of the universe.
Science and the Bible agree that the universe began, and that it immediately operated according to predictable natural laws. When the universe came into existence, all the laws of physics and chemistry were intact; they did not “evolve.” Patrick Glynn, in his book on “God the Evidence,” writes that everything had to be ‘just right’ from the very start—everything from the values of fundamental forces like electromagnetism and gravity, to the relative masses of the various subatomic particles, to things like the number of neutrino types at time 1 second, which the universe has to ‘know’ already at (10) to the power of (-43) or 10-43second. This is the shortest time called The Planck Time. The slightest tinkering with a single one of scores of basic values and relationships in nature would have resulted in a universe very different from the one we inhabit such as, one with no stars like our sun, or no stars, period. Far from being accidental, life appeared to be the goal toward which the entire universe from the very first moment of its existence had been orchestrated, fine-tuned.”
