Season 5 Podcast 143, A New Voice of Freedom, Argument for the Existence of God, “Spontaneous Creation Part Two.”
Modern theoretical science ignores two of nature’s most important laws:
1. Law does not allow luck or accident.
2. Something can never come from nothing.
Those are the two greatest flaws in modern scientific thinking.
The only role evolution has is to guarantee survival of species that already exist. There was no evolution in the Garden of Eden for, before the fall, there was no death. God created Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. It was the fall that brought death into the world. Only then could evolution play any role. Evolution had nothing to do with creation. Law alone organized into complete sets by God is responsible for creation. For evolution to occur, the Goldilocks zone must be in place, the biological environment must preexist, and the reproductive systems of all species must have been organized. The theory of evolution is faced with the contradiction that any species can only reproduce “after its own kind.” The science of evolution (by science, I mean that part of evolution that can be verified as opposed to the theories of evolution, that part of evolution that is invented by theorists) can just as easily be used as an argument for the existence of God as it can be used as an argument against the existence of God. All order is an argument for the existence of God.
Many Christians hold to the view that life, intelligence, consciousness, and potential self-exist. They can be neither created nor destroyed. That is really the only possible explanation for the existence of intelligence and consciousness. Nothing can be the cause of itself. That which self-exists has no first cause. Matter and energy self-exist. Intelligence, consciousness, and life self-exist. That is true by necessity because nothing can create itself. It defies all logic, and the very idea of spontaneous creation defies logic. The only reason anyone would offer chance, accident, coincidence, serendipity, or spontaneous creation as acts of creation is because they refuse to even consider the obvious which is intelligent design.
We must also assume that chaos self exists for only law can bring order out of chaos. Chaos is the only truly lawless state. Chaos is also evidence of the self-existence of matter. Laws cannot self-exist. If laws self-existed, then science is right—there is no freewill. We are machines.
The greatest argument for intelligent design is freewill. If laws self-existed, there would be no freewill, no consciousness, no intelligence, no life. Everything would be part of a cosmic machine with nothing aware of itself. But that is the point of view of science as articulated by Mr. Stephen Hawking who said in his book The Grand Design, “It is hard to imagine how free will can operate if our behavior is determined by physical law, so it seems that we are no more than biological machines and that free will is just an illusion.”
Mr. Hawking assumes that laws self-exist. As a result, science claims that man is a machine and does not have freewill. If they admitted that freewill existed, their entire philosophical system would collapse. They admit to the appearance of freewill and even admit to the appearance of intelligent design, but that is as far as they will go. One way to destroy an argument is to reduce it to the absurd. Ancient logicians had an impressive Latin name for it. Wikipedia defines it as follows:
“In logic, reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity"), also known as argumentum ad absurdum (Latin for "argument to absurdity") or apagogical arguments, is the form of argument that attempts to establish a claim by showing that the opposite scenario would lead to absurdity or contradiction.”
