Information the Weapon that Slays Undirected Evolution
By Mike Robinson
Over the second half
of the 20th century, biology came to apply informational concepts (and their
relatives) far more broadly than this. For many biologists, the most basic
processes characteristic of living organisms should now be understood in terms
of the expression of information, the execution of programs, and the
interpretation of codes. So although contemporary mainstream biology is an
overtly materialist field, it has come to employ concepts that philosophers
will recognize as intentional or semantic ones, concepts with a long history of
causing foundational problems for materialists (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
A Talk with an Average Joe
I have discussed the “myth” of Darwinian
evolution with a number of people from all walks of life. I have never had one
muster any logical arguments that could withstand some prying questions. It is
a short conversation and really should not be used as a template. Selected
evolutionists are much sharper than Joe; besides, he wasn’t prepared for my
questions. Moreover, people are unique and should not be approached with
cookie-cutter responses. I offer this is conversation with Joe the evolutionist
merely as a learning tool:
Mike: Hey, I noticed your car
has a Darwin fish on it. Do you believe in evolution?
Joe: Of course. Are you one of
those fundamentalists that are stuck in the tenth century?
Mike: That’s quite a question.
Actually, I like to discuss the theory of evolution with people that hold that
position, and pray that they repent and trust in Christ. Have you studied the
science of DNA?
Joe: Yes I have. It provides
great evidence for the evolutionary process. Human DNA is almost 98% identical
to ape DNA. This is strong evidence.
Mike: Does DNA have a code and
information content in it?
Joe: Yes. That’s one of its
main functions.
Mike: Have you ever seen
information come from anything but an intelligent being?
Joe: Well, uh, no.
Mike: Information requires
intelligence. If I heard someone tapping on the other side of wall, in a
language such as the Morse code, and it spelled out: "Help me I have been
kidnapped by a circus clown with bad breath." I would assume that there is
an intelligent being behind the wall in need of help. The reason I would know
that there must be a person behind the tapping is it came in the form of a
code. It was not just the random tapping of a bird or a machine. The code
requires intelligence. And biologists call it the DNA code. Code!
Can
you explain, without an intelligent being writing the DNA code in the cells,
where the code came from?
Joe: Well, I have never thought
about it that way.
Mike: I never did either until I
started learning to think in a critical manner. I would encourage you to turn
from your ways and trust in Jesus Christ. You and I have sinned. We have broken
God’s law by lying, stealing, hating, missing church, lusting and many other
sins. Jesus died to remove all the sins of His people. Here is a tract with an
invitation to our church. Come by and check it out.
Joe: Thanks.
Remember when you use the general outlines of
these conversations in your witnessing, you must stay focused on your point, kindly
bear the weight of it on them over and over. Many materialistic evolutionists
will attempt to divert the subject throughout your conversations. Do not let
them change the subject, but stick to your point. Additionally, always
graciously press the law on their hearts—then share the Gospel with them.
---------------------------------
The
cosmos is always changing. In principle, one cannot be rational if one places
his hope, his thought, or his worldview on the material world alone. One cannot
base his ethics, reason, and nobility on a system of thought which is built on
the material universe that is in a constant state of flux. A changing cosmos
cannot produce unchanging things like the laws of logic. Again, those entities
transcend the physical universe. When I base my worldview on God and His word,
I can justify science, induction, the evaluation of evidence, and my use of
reason. In principle, the nonbeliever cannot justify one item in all reality. Your view of reality, submitted to
scripture, is the only means to have a worldview that can make sense of the
universe.
