     THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR CREATION: 116 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE

I.  (Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID.  (See
    1-36.)

II. (Astronomical Sciences): THE UNIVERSE, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND  LIFE
    WERE RECENTLY CREATED.

    A.  NATURALISTIC EXPLANATIONS  FOR  THE  EVOLUTION  OF  THE  SOLAR
        SYSTEM   AND   UNIVERSE   ARE   UNSCIENTIFIC   AND  HOPELESSLY
        INADEQUATE.

       45.  No scientific theory  exists  to  explain  the  origin  of
            matter,  space,  or time. Since each is intimately related
            to or even defined in terms of the other,  a  satisfactory
            explanation  for  the  origin of one must also explain the
            origin of the others [a]. Naturalistic  explanations  have
            completely failed.

            a)  Nathan R. Wood, THE  SECRET  OF  THE  UNIVERSE  (Grand
                Rapids:  Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1936, 10th edition).

       46.  The First Law of  Thermodynamics  states  that  the  total
            amount  of energy in the universe, or in any isolated part
            of it, remains constant. This  law  states  that  although
            energy (or its mass equivalent) can change form, it is not
            now being created or destroyed. Countless experiments have
            verified  this.  A  corollary  of  the  First  Law is that
            natural  processes  cannot  create  energy.  Consequently,
            energy  must  have  been  created  by some agency or power
            outside of and independent of the natural universe.

       47.  If  the  entire  universe  is  an  isolated  system,  then
            according  to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the energy
            in the universe that is  available  for  useful  work  has
            always  been  decreasing.  But as one goes back further in
            time, the amount of energy available for useful work would
            eventually  exceed  the total energy in the universe that,
            according to the  First  Law  of  Thermodynamics,  remains
            constant.  This  is an impossible condition.  It therefore
            implies that the universe had a beginning.

       48.  Heat always flows from hot bodies to cold bodies.  If  the
            universe  were  infinitely old, the temperature throughout
            the universe should be uniform. Since the  temperature  of
            the   universe   is  not  uniform,  the  universe  is  not
            infinitely old. Therefore, the universe  had  a  beginning
            [a].

            a)  Sir Isaac Newton, source unknown.

       49.  A further consequence of the Second Law is that  when  the
            universe  began,  it was in a more organized state than it
            is today--not in a highly disorganized state as assumed by
            evolutionists and proponents of the Big Bang Theory.
