In this article I will detail some of the many things that have been taught and still are being taught in our schools; things that if believed, would undercut anyone’s belief in religion and support the atheistic philosophy that is being pushed by our government and schools.  This article, emphatically, is not a collection of opinions.  It is comprised mostly of the discussion of concepts that are taught every day in our schools, elementary through higher education… things that are taught as facts but are demonstrably, provably and proven to be false. 

The Starting Point- Facts.

Within this article we will discuss in detail:

·         The Miller experiment of the early ‘60s, which purported to show how the first living cell could have been created under the circumstances of the earth at that time.   

o    FACT: It is now understood that the process formulated could not have possibly achieved the purported result.  But that doesn’t matter… It is still being taught.  The more we learn, the more we realize we can’t even begin to understand the creation of the simplest first cell.  It has been proven by scientists and statisticians, (even those that are atheists), that it simply could not have happened by accident.  Even the simplest cell is simply too complicated.  Still, that is what is taught.

·         Our children and even college students are shown “actual” research drawings of early embryonic development that supposedly prove the theory of evolutionary decent.  

o    FACT: It has been known for years that these drawings were, in fact, fabricated and selectively chosen to support the theory and do not represent reality.  These drawings were so compelling that based on this evidence alone, many believers became atheists.  Even though the entire research and data is known to be fraudulent, they are still taught as fact!   

·         It has been “proven” that we came from monkeys via compelling drawings based on fossils of the evolution of man. 

o    FACT: The Drawings that we have all seen, showing the gradual evolution of monkey to man, are nothing more than artists speculation based on the flimsiest of fossils (For example, Java man consisted of a scull cap, 3 teeth and on thigh bone).  Throughout the entire fossil record, no true intermediary species i.e. missing link has yet been found.

·         Archaeopteryx- is an exceptional “proof” of Darwinism. 

o    FACT:  It has been shown and is almost universally agreed that this “missing link” between dinosaurs and birds is a product of wishful thinking, and is not an intermediary missing link, just an interesting animal.  However, it is still taught as proof of evolution.

·         We are taught that the fossil record supports Darwin’s theory of evolution. 

o    FACT: The more complete the fossil record becomes, the less and less it supports the theory of evolution.  In actuality, the fossil record does not remotely show the predicted gradual intermediary forms that step by step should lead to modern forms.  In fact, as the Cambrian explosion has shown, the more we find, the more it appears that most life forms came about rapidly with no intermediary forms.  Simply put, if looked at objectively, it much more clearly supports creation than evolution.  This is a fact, but not one that is taught.  The facts and obvious implications of the Cambrian explosion are never fully taught anywhere within our school system..

·         The accidental development of life is a predictable certainty. 

o    FACT: The universe was created for life.  Everything from the infinitesimal strong and weak forces of the atom to the gargantuan forces of gravity were finely tuned for life.  If these natural forces were even slightly greater or weaker, no life of any sort could have existed.  Was this perfectly crafting of every aspect of the entire universe an accident?

·         Some actually assert that Christ never existed. 

o    FACT: Christ lived; there is a historical record of his life and death.

·         Some assert that even if Christ did exist and was crucified, he either did not die, or was stolen from his burial place in order to perpetuate the “legend” of his divinity. 

o    FACT: Christ was crucified and objective evidence suggests he was resurrected.  The actions of the apostles, at first denying even knowing him, then believing with such certainty that they were willing to pay with their own lives, in order to spread His word.  This indicates nothing else.  Would they have knowingly died for a lie? 

o    In fact, (as detailed later), some of the best legal minds of past atheists, when they set out to prove that the evidence of Christ was insufficient and unconvincing… became Christians as a direct result of their objective analysis of facts discovered in their attempt to disprove Christ’s divinity.

·         Many claim that the Bible and it’s history is mostly an interesting story of religious legend. 

o    FACT:100’s of years and generations before God was made man, his miraculous birth, his life, his death, betrayal and resurrection were foretold.  Also, the more archaeologists compare the bible to actual historical finds, the more the bible holds up as accurate.

 What follows is information gleaned from the world’s greatest minds, studies beyond refutation, facts uncontroverted by anyone.  Why are these facts and articles not included in scientific journals?  Because, of the bias inherent in the scientific community.  No esteemed publisher would dare allow an article that remotely gave support to the idea of creation over the accidental evolution of Darwinism.  By publishing such an article, they would be seen as supporting the science of creationism and that is simply anathema to the secular biased definition of science.

 The reality is that a compelling scientific, logical, factual case for a Creator and for the divinity of Christ can be made.  Actually, this case can be made, at least, as compelling as or even more so than the case that the atheists make against religion.  The case for religion, God and Christ is what follows.

RELIGION AND BELIEVERS ARE UNDER ATTACK

Look around at our society and you will see that religion and Christianity are under attack.  They are being minimized and even ridiculed.  If you haven’t experienced it already, soon you will find that you and your children are being attacked by atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.  They will attack your beliefs, your intellect and create the kind of peer pressure that can cause your children to lose the faith that you worked so hard to instill in them.

Having one’s belief diminished or shaken by this assault doesn’t have to happen.  This article will help avoid it by arming anyone that needs it with facts and logic that strongly, if not, irrefutably support your belief in God, Creation and Christ.  It provides the facts to answer your children’s toughest questions (hopefully in an understandable way), so the atheistic education of today does not create an atheist adult tomorrow.

WE ARE AT WAR

In today’s society there is a constant onslaught of attacks against religion; attacks not only against the beliefs of religion and specifically Christianity, but attacks against the intellect of anyone that is naïve enough to believe in a resurrected Christ or an all powerful God.

Many believe that the simple existence of an emerging understanding of physics, geology, and the biology of nature is proof that the beliefs of religion are untrue.  i.e. we know of the existence of the “big bang”, we know how it happened and we didn’t see God there, so that means God didn’t do it.  We know of the existence of “survival of the fittest” and the existence of natural adaptation of species in nature.  Since we can see how animals change in nature, this proves that all was done by nature and this similarly proves the nonexistence of a God that created all.    Nothing could be further from the truth.

Our scientists and left wing ideologues are using science as a sledgehammer to destroy the beliefs that founded our country and society; attempting to ridicule those, that in spite of what “the educated” consider contrary “evidence”, still believe in Christ, God and the existence of a supreme fundamental goodness.

SCIENCE HAS NOT DISPROVED THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

The fact of the matter is that an objective analysis of science and facts does not preclude or disprove God.  God is only disproved when analysis is done by biased, results oriented individuals that look and give credence only to evidence and interpretations that support their atheistic beliefs.   In reality, when science is examined rationally and objectively, there is very little, if any, actual conflict between science and the belief in God. 

What science has done is not to disprove God, as many believe.  In my opinion, what science has done is, at best, revealed the mechanism with which God, at times, works.

As Galileo said, "The book of nature is written by the hand of God in the language of mathematics."

The more we learn, the more we see God.

A simple example (and there will be many more to follow), is our understanding of the “Big Bang” theory.  Our researchers and scientists believe that this is a fact and that because they partially understand the quantum and macro mechanics of the process, somehow that proves that God had no hand in the creation of the universe.   The big bang is effectively the creation of all matter, time and space... From Nothing!  Doesn't that sound like the Genesis account of creation?

The laws of thermodynamics that are considered to be “unbreakable” laws of the universe.  However, we have found a couple of these laws that have been and are being irretrievably broken.

BIAS OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY

Any rational person without a bias or agenda would look at these simple facts and conclude that there is no conflict, at least, as to the big bank aspect of science and the bible.  The main point of contention becomes that science said it happened at random, by accident if you will.  We, believers, on the other hand would simply say that is was the hand of God as described in Genesis, 2,000 years, before the human race had even the most rudimentary concept of the universe, its nature or its beginning.  The big bang doesn’t unequivocally prove the existence of God, but it certainly, doesn’t disprove it, either, as atheists would have us believe.   

Unfortunately, the scientific and educational community is not without bias... far from it. 

The educational and scientific community has a general agenda that is affirmatively anti-religion.  There is a tendency to interpret all things in a way as to minimize and preclude any religious significance.  The result is that we are rapidly moving into a society that is not just, less religious, but rather one that affirmatively, at every turn tries to not only destroy religious beliefs, but to make it uncomfortable or impossible to express them.  Additionally, the tendency is to attempt to create an environment that makes intelligent people feel like idiots for having religious beliefs in the first place.

The reality is that a compelling scientific, logical, factual case for a Creator or for the divinity of Christ can be made.  Actually, the case is, at least, as compelling or even more so than the case that the atheists make against religion.

What follows is information gleaned from the world’s greatest minds, studies beyond refutation, facts uncontroverted by anyone.  Why are these facts and articles included in scientific journals?  Because, of the bias inherent in the scientific community.  No esteemed publisher would dare allow an article that remotely gave support to the idea of creation over Darwinism.  By publishing the article they would be seen as supporting the science of creationism and that is simply anathema to science.

What is doubly frustrating is the fact that many of the most educated are completely aware of the bankrupt nature of the theories they espouse.  See…

The world-renowned astrophysicist and cosmologist Sir Fred Hoyle has long attacked the idea that life originated by mere chance. By his calculations, the probability of life emerging spontaneously is only 1 in 10^40,000 (1). In a book coauthored with Chandra Wickramasinghe, Hoyle said in 1981 of Darwinism,

"It is not only inadequate to explain the evolutionary changes that have occurred, sometimes over quite short intervals for both plants and animals, it is woefully inadequate.

Darwinian evolution is most unlikely to get even one polypeptide right, let alone the thousands on which living cells depend for survival. This situation is well-known to geneticists and yet nobody seems prepared to blow the whistle decisively on the theory. If Darwinism were not considered socially desirable, and even essential to the peace of mind of the body politic, it would of course be otherwise."

 Francis Crick- Co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule was so amazed at it's complexity that he determined that life could NEVER have arisen on earn by chance!  So, did he come to believe in GOD?  NO!  The bias against the idea of a creator was so ingrained into his "DNA" that he found it easier to believe that life originated in outer space!

WHEN DOES 2 + 2 = 5? 

Imagine that you are a mathematician that was asked to analyze and find the answers and proper conclusions to hundreds of equations.  You are brilliant.  You do the analysis, the calculations and come up with inarguable answers and conclusions to the most vexing problems.  You win a Nobel Prize; your company and peers are ecstatic with your work.  You are at the top of your field.  As you progress you start to come across a series of questions and problems which after the most meticulous calculations and analysis, keeps coming up with the same answer.  6 minus 2, 16 divided by 4, the cubed root of 64, etc… equation after equation that continues to equal 4. 

You share the results of your research with your peers, try to get your results published in science and math journals but everything that you present is rejected, your peers shun you, you get fired, why?  Because, 4 is NEVER allowed to be the answer to ANYTHING!

Just substitute God for the number 4 and we've described the state our educational affairs.  This may sound like an absurd proposition, but it is precisely what is happening in academia.  The possibility that there is a God is not allowed.  The only allowed answer to anything (regardless of the evidence and facts), is that undirected “Naturalistic” processes are responsible for everything; no God allowed.  This is true even though it has been mathematically demonstrated (by atheistic mathematicians, not Christians), that the origins of life, being the result of a chance combination of chemicals and time is a probabilistic impossibility.  With a shrug of the shoulders they assert "we are here, so it must have happened".  Is that really science?

Many of our most brilliant scientists are now afraid to give their true opinions based on the conclusions of the facts they've uncovered.  Research, analysis and the bold assertions of new opinions based on new evidence is being constantly stifled.  Providing conclusions that question Darwin has ended the careers of many and is holding back the careers of others.  See... 

I always thought that science was for the discovery of truth... not the protection of the status quo.

GOD IS UNDER ATTACK

A fundamental tenant of our country had been Freedom of religion.  It is rapidly turning into freedom FROM religion.  The foundation of our country had been formed with Judean Christian values at its core while at the same time allowing the freedom for all to worship as they see fit.

Not that I believe that because someone is an atheist they are a bad person, generally, I simply believe that they don’t know any better because they were indoctrinated by our educational system.  In fact, some of my very best friends are atheists.  We are all products of an educational system that for years has subtly and not so subtly endeavored to disprove religion. But the fact of the matter is that the destruction of organized religion opens the gates to horrid political philosophies and governmental tactics…

The following is an uncontroverted fact. 

Darwin and his followers were racists who believed that blacks were closer to the alleged ape men than whites.   Thomas Huxley, Henry F. Osborne, Professor Edwin Conklin and others preached white superiority – because of their evolutionary bias. The haters for a hundred years after Darwin can be tied to Darwin starting with Nietzsche (who asserted that God was dead, called for the breeding of a master race and for the annihilation of millions of misfits), followed by Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Engels, Stalin, etc.

The horrors of the racist, Marxist, Darwinists such as Hitler, Mussolini, Marx, Engels, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc found their origins in the belief that there was no such thing as a “special unique individual with God given rights”.   Human life had no value so the mass murder of tens of millions was of no consequence.  Their very existence, was inconvenient and the destruction of an individual (no matter how many millions of individuals), was acceptable, as long it was in the furtherance of their idea of “the greater good”.

THE PLIGHT OF CHRISTIANITY

Now, we are little by little turning into a country that allows all to worship, as they see fit, unless they are Christian!   We are all aware of the attacks on Christmas, the removal of nativity scenes on government properties, the removals of Crosses on roadsides, the battles to be able to even say the pledge of allegiance, etc…    

Christianity is under attack.  The teachers, the scientists, the researchers, the comedians, the left wing agenda driven ideologues have an easy time attacking Christianity, partially, because often, even though we have our faith, the society of believers can’t or won’t factually and logically support it.  We know what we believe and that’s good enough for us.  We have no reason to doubt it, because it is in our hearts, God is in our very soul.

God might remain in our hearts.  But unless we can compete on the battleground of ideas, God will be driven from our society and culture.  God is not simply being eliminated from our schools.  Our schools are subtly and not so subtly teaching our children, from kindergarten and beyond that God doesn’t exist.

This is the implication when Darwinism is taught as absolute fact, rather than a theory, leaving no room for the guidance of God in the creation of man and the universe.  This relentless attack continues, in spite of new evidence of the nature of life and the universe.   They can’t even teach or discuss the general fundamental moral values of the 10 commandments.  What is more fundamental than “thou shall not steal”?  Is it any wonder that the degradation of our society, so closely correlates to the elimination of any sort of religious or even fundamental moral teachings in our schools?

If we want our children and their children our future generations to continue to understand and believe the truth that we already know in our hearts, we need to be armed with FACTS that countermand the secular beliefs with which our children and families are being deluged.

What will we do when our child comes home and says…

 “Mommy, today I learned we came from monkeys” or “God didn’t make us, life was an accident that started in a pond”.

Then later, your older, more learned children or high school students come home and announce something like…

 “I learned about the theory of evolution.  I’ve been thinking about it, a lot.  Natural selection and survival of the fittest makes a lot more sense than the idea that God did it.  I just don’t think I believe in God anymore.  I’m too smart for that”.

What inevitable comes?...

“I don’t believe in God, so I certainly can’t believe that Jesus was who he said he was.  He was either a fraud or a mad man, I mean, it’s only logical”

Our children are losing their religion, and we are becoming idiots in their eyes.

WHAT ABOUT US?

Don’t we have an obligation to our fellow man to help them with the truth, if possible?  Not necessarily to convert, but to be able to point someone in the right direction if the subject comes up. i.e.  your friend says, “Why are you a Christian?  I thought you were smarter than that”

 

When faced with a similar question, I ask, “why aren’t you???”

 I usually get a response something similar to

“where have you been, ever heard of Darwin”

 

I will then respond, “yes I have.  I’ve actually spent a good bit of time, studying the theory, objectively and found that it has many holes and flat out factual inaccuracies about the theory that I wasn’t taught in school, and I bet you weren’t either.  Much of what were taught are flat out lies.”

 

I don’t ask or say another word.  I’m not trying to convert, only provide information to those who want to hear it.

 

At this point, in almost every case the next thing I here is “like what?”

The result is a discussion that for those that are ready, the heart and mind is opened just enough for them to want to see more, study more and in many cases, come to God.

 After here’s what ALWAYS happens.  Eyes are opened and their certainty that a belief in God, is evidence that believers are idiots or deranged.

This is a cancer that is permeating our society.  This attack is ongoing and will never stop.  But it’s a battle we can win if we take the time to educate ourselves in some of the FACTS (not opinions), that actually support our beliefs.

WHAT ARE THE FACTS

This article is, by no means the end all and be all of supportive information and data for Christianity.  But it does provide many; inarguable facts that even the most ardent atheist will have difficulty explaining away.   Unless a person has an open mind, nothing here will persuade them of anything.  But for anyone that actually desires truth, rather than a comfortable ideology, I suggest they continue to read this article and then examine some of the suggested texts.  The heart may not change, but there will be little choice but to re-examine their beliefs.  .  In reexamining their beliefs, they may find God.

EDUCATION

It is our education that is undercutting belief in God, so the first step is to understand the truth about the “Facts” that we have been taught and are being taught to our children to destroy their belief in God.

This happens in many ways, but importantly are certain icons of the Evolutionary theory that are being taught from grade school, even into higher institutions of learning.  They do a fantastic job of promoting and selling the theory; teaching these has created millions of atheists… the problem is they are demonstrably, provably wrong!

Following are some of the most destructive “facts” that we and our children are and have been taught.  

Some of the False "Facts" we will discuss that have been taught that “prove” the non existence of God.  Each will be discussed at length later.

The cell- happened randomly.  No God Allowed.  We will show the impossibility of this assertion.

Haeckel analysis of embryos- Asserts that early developmental stages show ancestral evolutionary similarities. Supposedly proves common decent.  A compelling fraud that is widely known to be a fraud...  but is still taught in high schools and colleges. 

Mischaracterization of archaeopteryx- Touted as a proven Darwinistic missing link.  Virtually all experts now agree that it is not.  But it is still taught as such.

Evidence for something other than evolution.

No sane person denies that adaptation happens (microevolution), but I and many other STRONGLY question that fish become men (macroevolution).

Limitations of survival of the fittest in evolution.  Each species has adaptive evolutionary limits.  Cat's don't become dogs and algae do not become men.  

Butterfly-change of color used as proof of evolution, but adaptation of color in response to predation is a far cry from the creation of a new species.

Fruitfly- thousands of generations of forced mutations resulted at best in the creation of a 4 winged fly. But unable to reproduce and when put back into general population, within few generations, they revert to normal.

Much of what we see is contrary to what would be expected if natural selection were the entire answer.

Incredible balance in nature, but it's in opposition to survival of the fittest.

Short life span is not a positive adaptation to be passed on.  By definition, those that lived longer would reproduce more, spreading it's genes more widely so that ALL life spans would be longer than we see.  If a trait is good for the individual (which longevity always is), the trait should be passed on. i.e. accordingly, flies should live for years, not 2 to 3 weeks.  A short life span stands in stark contrast to the dictates of natural selection.   But it IS necessary and fits perfectly into the concept of a perfectly balanced and designed world.  According to natural selection, most species would have longer life spans.  But what do we see?

 Rat’s, Mice, Flies, Octopus, squid, live short lives and fit a very specific niche. If they had long life spans, that would be good for the individual and the species.   However, their high rate of reproduction would destroy nature's balance and they would overrun the earth.

Cambrian explosion, A long standing problem for Darwinism.  Almost every phyla of life was created in a geological blink of an eye, rather than the slow, step by step process that Darwinism asserts.  

Irreducible complexity, biological systems that could not have happened step by step as stated by Darwin.   See video examples.  http://www.arn.org/mm/mb_ic.htm

The Universe was created for life- Fine Tuning of the Universe.

Magnetic force, Gravity, Strong force, Week force.

The More many astronomers learn, the More they move towards God.

AFFIRMATIVE EVIDENCE THAT CHRIST IS LORD- to be discussed later.

Resurrection-Strong evidence of the resurrection.  If the resurrection is

 true, everything else false into place.

Prophecy- many of the prophecy’s could not have been purposefully fulfilled.

                And we’ll touch on some of them.

ATHEISTIC PROOFS REFUTED

The first cell- They “proved” a cell could be made in nature.

The miller experiment.

In the beginning of evolutionary theory, the thought that life could have arisen spontaneously, by accident, actually made some sense.  There was no understanding of the true nature and properties of the cell.  They were considered little more that “bags of stuff”.  Consequently, making one of these “bags” seemed plausible.

With the advent of Darwinism and no longer seeing a need for God as the creator, we began the search for the origin of life itself.  How was the very first living cell created?  As there was no longer a God, it MUST have happened by chance.  

Since a living cell was not considered to be anything special and since an amoeba could eventually become a man, (according to Darwin), surely, a combination of primordial chemicals, given enough time, could by chance combine in a manner and under circumstances that would produce a living cell.  From there, just let evolution take its course and eventually all the incredible variety of life would evolve.

Then in 1953 came the “Miller” experiment.  They combined what was thought to be the existing chemical makeup of the early atmospherealong with the supposed chemicals making up the “primordial soup”.  Then an electric charge was introduced… Check Mate!  Game Over! The result was the creation of an amino acid.  Amino acids are the “building blocks of life”.  This surely was how life was created!?

The circle was complete.  There was no God!  No need for the creation of life.  No need for God’s creation of man (time and evolution saw to that)… God was dead!  This proved it and all aspects of education doubled down on this concept and more vehemently began pushing the outmoded, superstitious concept of God and religion out of the classrooms and out of society.

WRONG ON ALL COUNTS

It turned out that every aspect of the Miller experiment was based on erroneous assumptions. Furthermore, the amino acids that were created were about as life friendly as cyanide.  There are over 2,000 types of different amino acids, but only 20 can be used for life.  So, the creation of toxic amino acids and tar proved nothing and was 100% irrelevant to the issue.  It was soon considered by even atheistic biologists as having no bearing on the origins of life.  Even more, what it had claimed to accomplished was drastically exaggerated.  

The creating of an amino acid and saying it shows how life began is less relevant or meaningful than seeing a tornado hit a mountainside, in the explosive chaos, IT carves out a rock in the basic form of a nail...   and then pronouncing to the world that this must be how a Stealth Fighter evolved!  We proved it… we have the first nail! 

In spite of all of this, even though we know unequivocally that the results of the Miller experiment proves and even indicates nothing.  In spite of the fact that Miller, himself ultimately admitted that his experiment was irrelevant…  it is still being taught as being relevant to the creation of life.  It’s being taught as how it could have happened… even though it is KNOWN that there is not even a remote possibility of that being true!  The beauty of our educational system. 

Now, thanks to our technologies and our ability to see into the core of the cell we have found the complexity of even the simplest cell is impossibly complicated...

But What if?  What if life did happen by chance?

Assuming the impossible happened, the first single cell did come by chance, by random accident from the primordial soup, now what?  It will either die, or it will reproduce. If it dies… that’s the end of life.

 If it reproduces, then what was created was much more than just life, but the unbelievable complexity of rna/dna machinery that allowed for self replication!   The chances of the first living cell being created by chance are astronomical, the chances that this life was accidentally created with the complexity and power of reproduction are impossible.

Michael Denton in his Evolution: A Theory in Crisis. This book is one of the most brilliant critiques of evolution written in recent years. Denton, whose specialty is microbiology, approaches the subject from the perspective of an evolutionist who is nevertheless forced to concede that Darwinian evolution could never have occurred.

    It has been learned that the simplest single-celled organism is incredibly complex. E. coli, a bacterium that lives in the human intestine, has a complexity roughly equivalent to 10^12 bits of information. That is the information content in about 100 million pages of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Probably no cell has any less complexity.

         But we are to believe that they were have to developed randomly by chance over millions of years.  It is more likely that Pianos, automobiles, and even space ships where thus created, as they are far simpler by comparison.

     Even Darwin recognized that this was a huge improbability, and since his day no one has offered any remotely plausible theory as to how the first living cell might have been produced by known chemical processes. Today, thanks to great advances in molecular biology, it is well established that life simply could not have appeared spontaneously.

Haeckel’s analysis of embryos-- early developmental stages purport to show ancestral evolutionary similarities.  During the embryonic stages species supposedly pass through ancestral forms.  Ostensibly this proves common decent.  Not only does it not…

Human embryo with gills.  This supposedly showed that our ancestors came from water and were once had gills.  A simple but not freely advertised fact… They are not gills. They are little more than folds in the skin.  But that doesn’t stop the Darwinists from teaching it in the classrooms.  This is still taught in some higher education classes!

Fossil Record-

The fossil record, originally, at least, partially supported evolution.  But it was always assumed that the more complete it became, the more it would support Darwin’s theory.  In fact EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE has proved to be the case.  Why is that important?  Because the single biggest cause of loss of religion is the "proof" of the non existences of God as shown through the theory of evolution.   For years, even I was on the edge.

Some of the most vaunted fossils that had been touted as proof of transitional forms i.e. “missing links”,  simply were not…  for example:

·         Eohippus, thought to be a predecessor of the horse; is now believed by many anthropologists, to be nothing but an ancient form of a current day Hyrax or Coney.   It looks like a robust, oversized guinea pig, or a rabbit with rounded ears and no tail. Hyraxes have stumpy toes with hoof-like nails, four toes on each front foot and three toes on each back foot.

·         Java man-The dig consisted of nothing other than a scull cap, 3 teeth and a thigh bone.

o   (there is an unmitigated desire to prove evolution to the degree that objectivity is thrown out the widow, and anything will be believed if it destroys God and supports Darwin)

It was eventually found that as to Java man,

·         The protocols of the dig would have discredited any of the findings by today’s standards.

·         The Thigh Bone didn’t even belong to java man

·         The skull cap was consistent with that of a modern day man.

·         Conclusion?  Java man has no evolutionary value.  But is still being touted in text books!

·         Drawings of the evolution of humans starting at ape and ending with us. Artists’ renditions are highly suspect and based mostly on subjective conjecture with very little factual information from which to make a reasonable depiction.

o   Time Magazine hired 4 separate paleontological artists to create complete animal based on the type of evidence that we always find. The result was 4 completely different appearing “humans” ranging from a perfectly modern man to the appearance of a wolf man. The artists’ renderings seem to be based on what “theory” says they should be, rather on simply where the evidence actually leads.

·         Similarity of Structure as proof of common decent.  (hand bones similar to whale fin).

o   It is widely taught that because there is a similarity of structure in various aspects of different animals that this proves the common decent as expressed by Darwin’s evolutionary theory.  For example, it is taught that because whales, dolphins, seals, have a bone structure in their fins that is similar to that of a human hand, it evinces common descent and evolution. 

o   Not true, It is simply a common design feature.  You have a physical structure that has to be able to withstand the force of movement in water.  By necessity, it would need a solid physical structure of some sort that can support a large area of the limbs. 

o   That doesn’t prove descent; it is simply a design that is common to all weight bearing and force bearing physical attributes.  Is that really surprising that it would consist of multiple bone fragments that are elongated and spread out to support that structure?  Not much else would accomplish the purpose of adequate support.   It is just as easily evidence of a common mechanism that God utilized in the design of all animals, as it is proof that ancestors of elephants lived in the sea. 

·         Archaeopteryx- Touted as the transitional stage between dinosaurs and birds.  Today’s scientists uniformly acknowledge that it is not, a link between birds and reptiles…  but it is still taught as such in the classrooms and even on national geographic specials.  This is further evidence that EDUCATION IS NO LONGER ABOUT TRUTH, IT’S ABOUT SUPPORTING A WORLD VIEW IN WHICH GOD DOES NOT EXIST.

o   “Most evolutionists imagine that the first bird evolved from a dinosaur-like ancestor, that is, from a creature covered by something akin to reptilian scales  “However, no transitional state between scales and feathers exists in the fossil record, or, for that matter, among modern living things. Moreover, evolutionists have no firm grasp on how flight itself is supposed to have evolved…  (A recent study on the alleged evolution of bird flight, by Sarah Randolph of the Department of Zoology at Oxford University (Randolph 1994))

o    Evolutionists have long cited Archaeopteryx as a transitional form between dinosaurian/reptilian ancestors and birds, citing its mix of avian and "reptilian" (non-avian) characteristics.   At the same time, they reference the phrase "incompleteness of the fossil record" as the reason for the lack of transitional forms. In this instance, the phrase indirectly acknowledges that Archaeopteryx is not transitional in any meaningful sense of the term. Surely, a skeptic might observe, if Archaeopteryx were actually a transitional form, worries about the incompleteness of the fossil record with regard to early birds would be misplaced!

o   The reality is that Archaeopteryx is a mosaic of fully-formed reptilian features and fully-formed avian features, not a half- reptile/half-bird.  It appears to be an intermediary of NOTHING, but is nevertheless used and sited as strong support for evolution and implicitly, the non existence of God.  Much as the duck billed platypus, which has the mouth of a duck, the fur of a mammal, lays eggs like a bird, suckles it’s young like a mammal, has the tail of a beaver, the body of an otter and the male is poisonous with stingers on its feet.

Fraud and misinterpretation in the Fossil Records-

In their all consuming quest to prove the “fact” of evolution rather than simply letting facts and reality take them to where it leads, archaeologists and Darwinists are letting their zeal for the theory to lead them to some very embarrassing “discoveries”.

o   Piltdown Man- Found in a gravel pit in Sussex England in 1912, this fossil was considered by some sources to be the second most important fossil proving the evolution of man—until it was found to be a complete forgery 41 years later. The skull was found to be of modern age. The fragments had been chemically stained to give the appearance of age, and the teeth had been filed down!

o   Nebraska Man- From a single tooth, discovered in Nebraska in 1922 grew an entire evolutionary link between man and monkey.  How exciting this was!  An obvious, intermediary form between man and ape…  Yea!  Darwinism is proved!...  Until another identical tooth was found which was protruding from the jawbone of a wild pig.

·         Java Man- scull cap, 3 teeth, thigh bone.  It was eventually found:

o   By today’s standards, the protocols of the dig would have discredited any of the findings.

o    didn’t belong to java man

o   The skull cap was consistent with a modern day man.

·         Orce man: Found in the southern Spanish town of Orce in 1982, and hailed as the oldest fossilized human remains ever found in Europe. One year later officials admitted the skull fragment was not human but probably came from a 4 month old donkey. Scientists had originally stated the skull belonged to a 17 year old man who lived 900,000 to 1.6 million years ago.  If that weren’t bad enough, they even had very detail drawings done to represent what he would have looked like.

·         Neanderthal: the first Neanderthal remains were found in France in 1908. It was considered to be ignorant, ape-like, stooped and knuckle-dragging.  Current evidence suggests that Neanderthal was just as human as us, and his stooped appearance was because of arthritis and rickets. Neanderthals are now recognized as skilled hunters, believers in an after-life, and even skilled surgeons, as seen in one skeleton whose withered right arm had been amputated above the elbow.

·         Archaeoraptor- The most recent and perhaps the most infamous evolution frauds was committed in China.  The perfect missing link; the tail of a dinosaur and the fore limbs of a bird.  The world was astounded and in 1999, national geographic published an article about this evolution proving find; the best evidence ever for Darwin’s missing link.  It was later found that it was the fraudulent product of Dinosaur bones being glued together with the bones of a newer species of bird and they tried to pass it off as a very important new evolutionary intermediate.

Dr. Soren Lovtrup, Professor of Zoo-physiology at the University of Umea in Sweden wrote,

·         "I suppose that nobody will deny that it is a great misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes addicted to a false theory. But this is what has happened in biology: for a long time now people discuss evolutionary problems in a peculiar 'Darwinian' vocabulary...thereby believing that they contribute to the explanation of natural events." He went on to say, "I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science." He also said, "Evolution is 'anti-science.”

AFFIRMATIVE EVIDENCE OF EXISTENCE OF GOD

No one argues that there is no such thing as a mutation.  The question is “do mutations lead to new species?”  There is no actual evidence of that.  Survival of the fittest and natural adaptation is an obvious fact.  But that is not evolution.

God’s Plan incredibly and perfectly balanced.

WHERE IS THE BENEFIT TO THE INDIVIDUAL WHEN:

o   Mice die within 2 to 3 years of birth?- It’s not a benefit to the individual, but if looked at in terms of God’s plan it is a benefit to the system.  Because of their enormous birth rate, there are always mice available as a part of the system to provide food to animals higher on the food chain.  But if they didn’t have such a short life span, they would overrun the ecosystem and consume to the degree that nothing was left for themselves or other life forms in the system.  Life cycle based on balance, not fitness.

o   Squid and Octopus- These are great predators, but live absolute max of about, 3 to 5 years.  Like mice and rats are a huge food source for other predators and lay thousands of eggs at once.  If not for the short life span, they would quickly overrun the oceans .  Life cycle based on balance, not fitness.

o   Flies.  As the above.  They live only about 2 to 4 weeks as adults.  A larger life span and the world would be overrun.  Life cycle based on balance, not fitness.

§  Most flies die off, rather than hibernate in the winter.  Otherwise each spring, there would be an immediate deluge of all the flies that were alive the end of the last season.  Instead, it’s as if, God causes a resetting of the clock every year.  How does this happen? 

§  As the weather changes, most die due to a fungus.  If each season started with the flies that were alive at the end of summer having that kind of head start, the world would be overrun with an unsustainable biomass.

This certainly makes no evolutionary sense.  How is it a benefit to limit the number of possible methods available for reproduction?  It simply doesn’t.

IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY

From the Mouth of Darwin "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."
--Charles Darwin, Origin of Species

A simple question:  If we were able to create all the component parts of a cell from scratch using all of our incredible technology, (which we can’t), does anyone really think, it would be alive?  LIFE COMES FROM GOD.

Cambrian explosion-

Evolutions dictates that gradual evolving of species with intermediary species in between gradually leading to modern forms.  The fossil record shows anything but…

From beginning of life (according to theory 3.5 billion years ago (found fossilized algae), fossil record shows NOTHING but algae, a few worms and jelly fish.

From goal to 16 yard line of other field.

Then, within the span of one step, EVERY for of  advanced phyla, chordates arose.  With absolutely no intermediary steps to be found. NONE.  THAT IS NOT EVOLUTION. 

This should have been a death blow to Darwinism, but they just adjusted the theory and came up with new excuses/theories.  Instead of looking at the evidence objectively and acknowledging that the theory has holes, they made lame excuses. 

1.       All of the intermediate species must have been of  a soft structure that they left no fossil evidence.

a.    This, of course, is absurd as we have fossil records of things as small and delicate as bacteria dating back 3.5 billion years.

2.        “punctuated equilibrium”- They decided that all of these intermediary species, did in fact, arise gradually; they were simply doing so in segregated groups that no one has found, and then suddenly expanded into the general population.  The sum total of the adjustment to the theory, is that they were hiding.  As with many other things, they have absolutely not one shred of evidence supporting this idea.

a.       Thankfully, this theory is not well accepted amongst academia.  There is no good explanation for the this bit of evidence.  So, they are left with a gaping hole in the fossil record and no way to explain it, a record that doesn’t support the theory, but looks suspiciously like the virtual instantaneous creation of life by God.  So what do they do?  Nothing!  They just adhere to “theory” and continue teaching it as fact even though, the more evidence we find, the less viable the theory seems to be.  Again, the goal seems to be to ignore the evidence and the facts at all costs.  Simply make certain that God stays out of the equation.

CREATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNIVERSE IT WAS CREATED FOR LIFE.

The fact is that the perfectly balanced construction of the universe, from the atom up, is such that if anything were changed, it wouldn’t simply mean that humans couldn’t exist; it would mean that no form of life could exist.

For example:

Electrons are negatively charged, and an atomic nucleus is positively charged. The force that holds electrons in their orbits about an atomic nucleus is the electromagnetic force—the force that exists between any charged particles. If this force were slightly stronger, atoms would not be able to share electrons. Consequently, there would be no chemical compounds. Also, if the same force were slightly weaker, electrons would escape from their orbits. There would be no stable atoms.

     No stable atoms equals a completely unstable universe.

UNIVERSE AND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM CREATED FOR US.

·         But not only was the universe created for order and life, it was created for us.

·         Van Allen Belt, to protect us from radiation.  Without the Van Allen belt the magnetic field surrounding the earth, we would die.  This belt redirects that radiation from the sun and stars to the poles.  Without it we would be constantly bombarded with amounts of radiation that would make our existence impossible.  

·         Moon- the moon is of the perfect size, mass and placement to…

o   to create the variation of gravitional fields to create for tides.  Without tides, we would not have the same water transfer that insures stagnating of waters that would eventually result in lifeless oceans.

o   It’s gravitational pull keeps the earn from wobbling on it’s axis which would result in wild climate variations, thus making biological systems and habitats less stable and supportive of life.

o   Its placement provides protection from meteors and such..

·         Our sun is nearly white. Bluer or redder light from the sun would make it harder for plants to carry out photosynthesis, less photosynthesis, equals, less vegetation, which negatively impacts the food chain, and less vegetation means less oxygen needed for life.

·         Our sun is located on the outskirts of our galaxy. If it were closer to the center, radiation from other stars would be too great, and we’d be subject to collisions from the infinitely greater amounts of space debris, asteroids, meteors.

SO WHAT?  WHAT'S THAT PROVE?

As we discussed earlier, it's impossible to prove or disprove the existence of God.  All we can do is look at the evidence and follow where it leads.  But here's what we have proven...

Great Debate

Please see the following debate amongst some of the most ardent proponents of both Christianity and Atheism.

WHO WAS JESUS?

Many that are convinced of the existence of God, do not believe in Christ.  Some doubt the crucifixion, the resurrection... some even question whether he ever existed.  What's a person do do?...  As always, just examine the facts, and go where the evidence leads.

Some brilliant atheists have done just that.  They were hoping to put a stop to the religion insanity.  But something strange happened...

Dr. Greenleaf, the Royal Professor of Law at Harvard University, was one of the greatest legal minds that ever lived. He wrote the famous legal volume entitled, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, considered by many the greatest legal volume ever written.  He was an atheist and decided to debunk the resurrection and divinity of Christ once and for all.

When he approached it as he would in a court of law, his conclusion, Jesus is Lord and has risen!

"it was IMPOSSIBLE that the apostles could have persisted in affirming the truths they had narrated, had not JESUS CHRIST ACTUALLY RISEN FROM THE DEAD, . . ."
(Simon Greenleaf, An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice, p.29).

Greenleaf concluded that according to the jurisdiction of legal evidence the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the best supported event in all of history!

And not only that, Dr. Greenleaf was so convinced by the overwhelming evidence, he committed his life to Jesus Christ!

The tale of intellectuals proving Christianity false.

Gilbert West and Lord Lyttleton, two Oxford students, believed Christianity was a "tale gone mad" and they determined to refute the Christian faith. Lyttleton resolved to disprove the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, and West would refute the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

They figured a careful, rational, examination of the evidence would easily disprove the Christian faith.

But after examining the evidence — they both separately came to the exact opposite conclusion! Lyttleton concluded that Saul of Tarsus did, in fact, convert to the Apostle Paul through Jesus Christ. And Gilbert West concluded that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was among the best established facts in all of history! West went on to write a book entitled, "Observations on the History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ".

HISTORIAN’S OPINION

Professor Thomas Arnold, former chair of history at Oxford, and author of the famous volumes, History of Rome, was skillfully educated in the study of historical facts. Professor Arnold, stated, "I have been used for many years to study the histories of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them, and I know of no one fact in the history of mankind which is PROVED BY BETTER AND FULLER EVIDENCE of every sort, than the great sign which God has given us that Christ died and rose again from the dead."


 

THE EVIDENTIARY HEARING

After investigating the evidence of the resurrection, Lord Darling, former Chief Justice of England, stated, ". . . there exists such overwhelming evidence, positive and negative, factual and circumstantial, that no intelligent jury in the world could fail to bring in a verdict that the resurrection story is true."

EVIDENCE OF CHRIST

The fact is that there is a compelling case for the divinity of Christ for all that are willing to examine and analyze the evidence.

Resurrection

First he was denied all saw him arrested crucified, no one even acknowledged even knowing him.

"you were one of them, you was with Jesus of Nazareth". The Bible says "he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak." (Mark 14:71) Three times Peter denied the Lord, cursing and swearing, "I know not this man".

And Mark 14:50, says, "And they all forsook him, and fled".

 Soon, they were all willing to die for him.  WHO WOULD DIE FOR A LIE? And if they knew it WAS a lie, they knew it.

Acts chapter 4:18-19, reads, "And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye."

Obviously something miraculous had happened, something to take away any doubt and any fear, the resurrection.

 He had risen from the dead and presented himself to them and to many others.

John 20:27-28 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

SAUL

And then there's the man called Saul of Tarsus.

Saul of Tarsus thought Jesus was a false messiah, a fake, a blasphemer. And the extermination of Christianity, became his passion! The Bible describes him:

"As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison." (Acts 8:3)

"And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, . . ." (Acts 9:1)

Saul of Tarsus was one of Christianity’s' most rabid persecutors. One day traveling the dusty road to Damascus, Saul burning with vengeance, with documents authorizing him to capture all the followers of Jesus. But on the road to Damascus something happened to Saul of Tarsus. . .

"And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest". (Acts 9:3-5)

And on the road to Damascus, the greatest conversion in history took place!

For Saul of Tarsus, among the greatest enemies of Jesus Christ, that ever lived — became the Apostle Paul — who many believe was the GREATEST CHRISTIAN THAT EVER LIVED!

What happened to this man?  Did he make it up? 

Just want a change?

What could so transform this man, that he completely dedicated his life to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ? And was later beheaded at Rome in 67 A.D. for his faith in Jesus Christ.

The only thing that makes sense, is a resurrected Christ who visited himself upon Saul.

The tale of intellectuals proving Christianity false.

Gilbert West and Lord Lyttleton, two Oxford students, believed Christianity was a "tale gone mad" and they determined to refute the Christian faith. Lyttleton resolved to disprove the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, and West would refute the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

They figured a careful, rational, examination of the evidence would easily disprove the Christian faith.

But after examining the evidence — they both separately came to the exact opposite conclusion! Lyttleton concluded that Saul of Tarsus did, in fact, convert to the Apostle Paul through Jesus Christ. And Gilbert West concluded that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was among the best established facts in all of history! West went on to write a book entitled, "Observations on the History and Evidences of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ".

After investigating the evidence of the resurrection, Lord Darling, former Chief Justice of England, stated, ". . . there exists such overwhelming evidence, positive and negative, factual and circumstantial, that no intelligent jury in the world could fail to bring in a verdict that the resurrection story is true."

It is clear that objective evidence supports the fact

that Christ is Lord.

Why should we be so surprised, many hundreds of years before these events took place there were many prophecies of the messiah that clearly pointed to Christ, his life, his death and his resurrection.

Was it all a lie?  Did the apostles make it up?  Was he resurrected?

Who would die for a lie?  If the resurrection were untrue, they would have known.  Why would the die for a lie?

·         When Jesus was arrested the scattered like the wind.  They denied him because they knew that their relationship with Christ put their very lives at risk.

·         Then all of a sudden they proclaimed to the world the the risen Jesus.  Where they were once terrified to acknowledge they knew him, the were now willing to die in his name.

·         And they did.  11 of the 12 apostles were executed by the Romans.

·         Who would die for a lie?

Then the Conversion of Peter.

·         A relentless persecutor of Christians, was thrown to the ground and asked “why do you persecute me”… This prosecuter of Christians became the rock of the Church and died for it… Who would die for a lie?

Who Moved the Stone?

Many try to insist he never left the tomb… they just checked the wrong one.  But if it was the wrong tomb, it would been discovered and advertised as such immediately.  If the body of Christ were anywhere to be found, the Jew and Romans would have found it and paraded it through the streets to stop the growth of this new religion in it’s tracks.

But they failed to do so… because the body was not there.

Remember, 11 of the 12 apostles were executed.  They knew that would be their fate, but they continued on.  The KNEW there was no body of Christ to be found.  They knew Christ had risen.  They knew he had ascended.  They knew that he was, indeed, the son of God. 

Either that, or it was the biggest hoax in history, a big lie… But who would knowingly die for a known lie?

Evidence for Divinity of Christ

Prophecy-

 There are countless prophecies for the coming of the messiah that point directly to Christ. 

Would you like to comment?  Click Here!

But in many of these the skeptic would say, well he purposefully, intentionally prophecies to build make others revere him, so those prophecies don't count.  For example riding the donkey, or rage in the temple with the money changers.  If he were, trying to create this fraud and have himself exalted and revered, this is the type of thing that he would have done.

   But most of the prophecies that were fulfilled were not susceptible of purposeful fulfillment. The fact they occurred are in themselves strong evidence of his divinity.  Following are a few:

            Prophecy of the slaying of first born male infants.

"Thus says the Lord:  'A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.' " (Jeremiah 31:15, NKJV)

Fulfillment

"Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry;  and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.  Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:  'A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.' " (Matthew 2:16-18, NKJV)

            Betrayal by Judas

"Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. " (Psalm 41:9)

Fulfillment

"And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them." (Mark 14:10)

            False witness against the Messiah.

"Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty." (Psalm 27:12)

Fulfillment

"False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not. " (Psalm 35:11)

"Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. " (Matthew 26:59-61)

     Silence in spite of accusations

"He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. " (Isaiah 53:7)

Fulfillment

"And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. " (Mark 15:3-6)

Prophecy and description of Crucifixion

(crucifixion was not in use at the time of this prophecy)

"For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. " (Psalm 22:16-17)

"As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: " (Isaiah 52:14)

"Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. . . And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. " (Matthew 27:26, 29-30)

The Messiah was to die for our sins.

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. . . . Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. " (Isaiah 53:4-6, 10-11)

"For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. " (Romans 5:6-8)
