3.  Creation Versus Evolution: The Age of the Earth Based On Intelligent Design Theory of Infinite Intelligence

 

In creation versus evolution, if there is an infinite intelligence that created the universe, it must follow that God thinks infinitely faster than mere humans, and a day is like a thousand years with God.3 If this is true, it was possible for God to create the atoms and light on the first day, heaven and earth the second, dry land and the seas and the vegetation on the third day, the stars, sun and moon the fourth day, the fish and birds the fifth day and the animals and Adam and Eve on the sixth day. Even though a day is as a thousand years with the LORD, the Hebrew word for day, pronounced 'yowm', means twenty-four hours, from sunset to sunset throughout the Old Testament. Many Christians mistake the days of creation as a thousand, or even billions of years, for each day to justify their belief that a day for the LORD is like a thousand years. But a thousand years is only as the LORD perceives a day, which remains a twenty-four hour period. The age of the earth in intelligent design theory is based on the existence of an infinite intelligence that can think infinitely fast.

 

It is not possible that a flower could be created at one period in time and a bee created millions of years later to pollinate that flower. Otherwise, there would be no flowers, and hence there would be no bees. The flowers and the bees had to be created during the same year, with the bees created at least the day before or when the flowers were in bloom.

 

Methane is not the source of life. Methane is one of many results of life. Methane does not exist without plant and animal life. Methane is only produced in nature by a group of complex little animals called methanogenic bacteria that feed on dead plants and animals in an anaerobic environment. It is the purpose of these microbes to convert fermentation products formed by other anaerobes into methane as terminal members of the food chain. In this process, simple methane is formed from the breakdown of more complex organic compounds in order to recycle methane in the presence of sunlight and oxygen in the atmosphere back into carbon dioxide and water from dead plants and animals which in turn are recycled back into the food web.

 

When oxygen is not present, methanogenic bacteria convert dead organic matter into methane, which then bubbles up into the atmosphere where it is oxidized into water and carbon dioxide. When oxygen is present, aerobic bacteria convert dead organic matter directly back into carbon dioxide and water to be recycled back into live plants and animals.4 Therefore, it is highly unlikely that methane existed on earth before organic matter, or as the scientific community has postulated, that organic matter evolved from methane.

 

Every living thing on this earth is dependent on every other inorganic and organic thing on this earth in a food chain. It is not possible for a cellulose-feeding bacterium to live billions of years without dead vegetation. Bacteria and insects cannot live millions of years without plant life. If trees lived a million or so years before a bacterium or insect lived, the fallen leaves from the trees would pile up as high as a sky scraper, killing the trees in their own leaves. Both the trees and the bacteria and insects are necessary at the same time.

 

The membrane inside a chicken's egg shell keeps precious moisture from leaking out of the egg, while permitting toxic gases produced in the embryonic development process to escape. The air pocket inside an egg shell gives a chick just enough air and time to peck its way out of the shell. If chickens did not develop a porous membrane inside of the egg shell, not over millions of years, but in the very first egg, there would be no chicks born.

 

If one thing was missing in the food web, not for billions or millions of years, but for a few minutes to a few days, all life on earth would cease to exist as we know it. Not just flowers and bees are immediately dependent on one another, but all living things feed on, are food for, depend on or are dependent upon every other living and inorganic thing. I think if we had classes on the spontaneity of life, we would find maybe up to a billion other reasons why life had to be created instantaneously. Intelligent Design theory mandates that it had to take an infinite intelligence to create the earth. The age of the earth is falsely taught by ignoring the rapid decay of radioactive isotopes at the time of the flood of Noah's ark and at the time of creation, ignoring the erosion rate of the Euphrates River, ignoring the small accumulation of dust from space on the earth and the moon, ignoring the slowing of the speed of light since 4008 BC,  and by scientists fabricating false conclusions concerning black holes, red shift and the erroneous big bang theory.  This is forbidden knowledge to students in government-controlled schools. But false theories are taught as if they were fact.
