Origins of Life: Creation vs Evolution

When you see a painting, you immediately understand that someone, at some point, painted that painting - even if you never saw the painter. This is an example of which scientific concept?

• Law of Logic

• Law of Presuppositions

• The Laws of Thermodynamics

• The Law of Perspective

What does the First Law of Thermodynamics state?

• Matter and energy can be created through natural processes

• Matter and energy can be destroyed through natural processes

• Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed

• Matter and energy can only be created by humans

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, what is required to produce a reaction?

• A chemical reaction

• An outside force

• An equal and opposite reaction

• A vacuum

What does the Big Bang theory postulate about the origins of the universe?

When used by Old-Universe scientists to support the Big Bang theory, what is the problem with the principle of quantum uncertainty?

• It allows energy to emerge literally from nowhere

• It does not require any initial energy

• It contradicts the laws of thermodynamics

• It is a well-established scientific fact

What does the quantum uncertainty principle actually state?

• Energy can be produced from nothing.

• Energy and matter are interchangeable forms.

• Energy particles, when collided with other energy particles, can generate a powerful reaction that changes energy into matter.

• Given enough electric fields, the particles will repel and rip apart to generate large amounts of energy.

What biblical evidence discredits the claim that there were millions of years between each day of creation, which is why the theory that other organisms evolved from fish is viable.

• The Bible clearly states that one evening and one morning were a single day.

• Aquatic creatures and fowl were created on the same day.

• Mammals were created before aquatic creates.

• There is no biblical evidence to refute this claim.

What is a difference between creationists and old-universe scientists?

• Old-universe scientists accredit the creation of the universe to natural processes, while creationists accredit it to supernatural processes.

• Creationism is a belief system, while the Big Bang theory is scientific fact.

• Creationists do not believe that one species can change into a similar, but different species overtime, while evolutionists do.

Why do Christians not accept evolution as the creator of man?

• Because it contradicts the literal creation story in Genesis

• Because it is not supported by scientific evidence

• Because it is a religious belief

• Because it is a historical fact

Which Bible verse clearly explains that man was created by God and did not evolve?

• "And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."

• "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

• "Let them [man] have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
