I have been going over various scientific discoveries that seem to point to the existence of God. We’ve covered the beginning of the universe, the beginning of life, large-scale design, and small-scale design including molecular machines and DNA. This time I’m going to cover several other discoveries in a more brief format.
So here are some of the more interesting discoveries. For one thing, scientists have explored something called the Cambrian explosion, which is the sudden appearance in the past of far more complex organisms than those that preceded them. Darwinian evolution is supposed to take place in a gradual, slow process, but where did all the new information come from that allowed these more complex beings to exist? Then there’s the fact that bacteria have not changed species for over 150 years. Maybe you’ve heard of the idea that if there was enough time, monkeys could type the great works of Shakespeare? Well, somebody ran something called a Monkey Shakespeare Simulator, which ended up finding that 24 letters from one Shakespearean play took 2700 trillion trillion trillion monkey years.
In the area of anthropology, the more hominid discoveries that are made, the more confusing the picture is of hominid classification. Also in anthropology the “out of Eden” idea of the start of the modern human race has gained traction over the many-places rise of humans. This sounds a bit like the Genesis account of Eden as the single starting point for modern humans. Anthropology also has its own “Big Bang” when it comes to the rapid development of jewelry making, hunting, music making, painting, and the use of tools by our ancestors. These all seem to come into existence in the blink of an eye rather than gradually evolving over countless centuries. A big discovery recently has been by the ENCODE project, which discovered that so-called “junk” DNA actually serves a purpose, a blow to evolutionists who saw such DNA as dead ends from past mutations.
So for all the various reasons listed above, it looks like the idea of God has come back into the scientific world. Stay tuned for further discoveries.
