Roni’s Reviews > The New Answers Book 4: Over 30 Questions on Evolution/Creation and the Bible > Status Update

design argument, irreducible complexity (which the fossil record confirms), common design (shows common designer), over-design (more than necessary for mere survival), added beauty; ID movement & its limitations (does not address the effect of the fall - death & suffering which gives distorted view of the 'designer', also does not promote a Biblical worldview/tries to be neutral), origins debate really=faith vs faith

"Uncritical acceptance of evolution has so stunted scientific thinking that people give mutations god-like qualities."

"Mutations are NOT 'script-writers'; they are merely typographic alterations in a genetic script that has already been written....have no ability to compose genetic sentences, no ability to produce novel genetic information, and hence, no ability to make evolution happen, at all."

great in-depth discussion in this chapter about Ernst Haeckel's infamous embryo drawings that lead to the recapitulation theory and the circular reasoning that results from evolutionary scientists today who are well aware that the drawings were falsified data yet still continue to use them as "proof" that "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"

good discussion on distant starlight models, how both secularists as well as creationists have a similar sort of problem, and some of the proposed solutions

discussion of 30 legends from around the world on creation, Flood and language division (10 of each of the 3 types) that correspond to Genesis 1-11 & that confirm the Bible; "the evolutionary explanation fails to provide a reason for commonality; whereas the biblical one does." - pg 199
