Creation Bullet Series: Destroying Darwinism, One Bullet at a Time
“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.” — Romans 1:22
Original Creation Bullet by Bill Nowers:
Logic, Common Sense, and Scientific Inquiry. We all like to think we are endowed with a normal amount of common sense. Suppose I show you a cube with six sides, like a dice, Each side is numbered and only five sides are visible. If the numbers 1,2,3,4 And 6 are showing on the visible sides, what number is on the bottom? You might think this is a simple example but the National Academy of Sciences in their 1998 publication “Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science” takes six pages, page 66-71, and uses the science of inquiry and the nature of science to determine that the hidden number is five. Wow. Isn’t science great? One might wonder what relevance this really has in the creation-evolution controversy.
Simple logic is one thing, but distorted logic is more frequently used by evolutionists. The mother of all distortions is the logic behind how life started on earth. Most scientists, being atheistic by definition, claim that life started in some unknown depths of the ocean, where the extremely high temperatures and pressure resulted in a single cell coming to life.
Duane Gish reported in the book “Up With Creation,” “The simplest form of life known to science contains hundreds of different kinds of enzymes, thousands of different kinds of RNA and DNA molecules, and thousands of other kinds of complex molecules.” And since the ultimate fate of a cell is death, “…the ability to reproduce…would have had to exist from the beginning…”
The frightening part of the above fiasco is that it is the very foundation of the entire evolution belief. Consider that all of the scientific data, every bit by all the PHD’s with their electron microscopes etc. is all based on the accidental life from dead matter belief. Talk about a foundation built on sand. They should be so lucky. This is a foundation hanging in the air, with nothing under it. Roman’s 1:22 is pertinent here. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.”
The origin of life could only have occurred through the acts of an omniscient creator. “In the Beginning God created,” is the best statement on the origin of life.
What happens when logic is stripped of truth? You get what Bill Nowers describes as scientific satire—a facade of reason wrapped around assumptions so ridiculous they would be laughable if they weren’t taught in schools.
This bullet opens with a striking example: six pages in a government-endorsed science text devoted to discovering which number is hidden on the bottom of a die. This basic logic exercise is stretched into an example of scientific inquiry as if it somehow supports Darwinism. It doesn’t. But it does highlight how evolutionary teaching often inflates trivial thinking to avoid hard questions about origins.
The Logic of Life’s Origin—or the Absence of It
The core question that evolutionists cannot answer is this: How did life arise from non-life? Their best guess? That a random mix of chemicals at the bottom of the ocean somehow overcame entropy, developed complexity, and learned to reproduce—all without a Designer.
But as Duane Gish pointed out, even the simplest known life is an impossibly complex system with thousands of interdependent parts. Not only must life exist—it must also reproduce, or it’s a dead end. This demands design from the very beginning.
Evolutionists may call this science. But logic—and honest inquiry—say otherwise.
Foundations Hanging in the Air
The entire evolutionary framework is built on this fantasy: that dead matter birthed living cells. Every scientific paper, every textbook diagram, every academic lecture assumes this miracle without a miracle-worker. As Nowers puts it: “Talk about a foundation built on sand. They should be so lucky. This is a foundation hanging in the air, with nothing under it.”
This is not science. It’s storytelling dressed up in lab coats. It’s the very thing Paul warned about in Romans 1:22—professing wisdom while rejecting the Creator.
God Spoke—and Life Began
The only explanation that aligns with both logic and evidence is this: Life began because God spoke. Genesis 1 is not a myth—it’s history. Creation wasn’t the product of pressure, time, and chance. It was the result of divine will and omniscient intelligence.
“In the beginning God created.” That truth still stands—and always will.
