FRANKENSTEIN IS A MYTH

…..
    I am a retired Biology teacher. I taught Biology for 35 years and I have been on a "spiritual journey" for the last 20 years. Being retired, I have more time to research the literature for knowledge that helps guide me in my journey.   At this point in my journey I  am CONVINCED that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God and FINAL authority on human destiny and I also believe that "science and faith are, and always will be allies, not enemies." In fact, I believe, since we are Created in the Image of God, that Science is a "Gift" of God that allows man to learn the true nature of God's PERFECT Laws and discern illusion from reality. The father of lies, satan, creates illusions that prevents man from KNOWING the True God of Existence that was revealed in the "flesh" 2000 years ago in the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. (Yeshua Ben Joseph)  God's "Gift" of Science is one of the most important tools we have in exposing these illusions.  Frankly. I believe Science and Faith in the God revealed in the Bible are MORE than "allies"...they are co-supportive of each other.



Before Science....belief in the Bible was based on Faith alone.   The difference between the time the writers of the Bible were inspired by God to write God's Word to humanity and now is that today we have the gift of SCIENCE.  Sadly, in my opinion, most religious thinkers today, because they perceive what "true" Science has revealed threatens the validity of God's Word and in fact contradicts it and the result of this is the replacement of Scientific discovery with "pseudoscience" which not only has "spiritual:" consequences but also political consequences which allows the "elite" of this world to control and oppress other people. (ie; global warming HOAX caused by human CO2 production with the resulting destruction of our country's economy to hasten the coming evil New World Order. (BTW....CO2 is a BUFFERED gas and key compound of the "carbon cycle" and photosynthesis.....it is NOT toxic)



Because we do have God's "Gift" of Science today, I am convinced that the knowledge we gain through Science MUST be utilized to decipher the true meaning of God's Word.  Fundamental literal interpretation of God's Word says that "existence" is 6000 years old. I assume they are refering to the Cosmos, the Earth and ourselves.  The Bible is clear that God "existed" before the description of Creation in Genesis and further more, even the "Angels" existed before this.   What is critical here in understanding what"existence" is, therefore, the DEFINITION of existence is critical.. Before Science "existence"  man was limited to what he could observe at the time and what his imagination allowed.  Imagination is important in the pursuit of understanding reality but if it doesn't eventually lead to "discovery" of truth, it is a futile endeavor that can end up creating illusion. The unfortunate result of insisting on a literal interpretation of Scripture is that it replaces true Science with pseudoscience and what's worse, it causes people to mistrust Science because thay are brainwashed into thinking true  Science disproves the Bible when in reality it proves it is God's Word.



Probably the biggest issue with Creationists vs Science is Darwinian Natural Selection.  What I find ironic is that Creationists accept the reality of micro-evolution evidenced by antiobiotic resistance of pathogens yet reject that it also occurs at the macro level. The Fundamental literal interpretation says that man DID NOT EVOLVE from apes.   THEY ARE CORRECT but for the wrong reasons.    Present day Science says man DID EVOLVE from apes.  THEY ARE WRONG because the Science does not support this. The reason Science cannot "see" the error in the evidence is because they reject the existence of God or have a concept of God that is un-Biblical. Sadly, most religions, including Christianity, also have an un-Biblical concept of God which is a peculiar paradox because the central dogma of Christianity is that God Incarnated in the presence of Jesus the Christ and His Incarnation reveals that God is NOT external to EXISTENCE but that He dwells and works through His Creation and operates through His PERFECT Laws that He allows us to discover through His "Gift" of Science. Yes..God's "ways" are far above man's but I suspect He was referring to Love, Compassion, Forgiveness and Holiness....NOT SCIENCE.  If man did not evolve from apes...then how did God Create man?  If one really KNOWS the God revealed in Christ, they would know the answer is so simple....Recombinant DNA. (Let Us Create Man in OUR Image...(Genesis 1:26)  In addition, the creation of Eve is easily understood as "modified cloning." and is supported by the Scripture right up to Adam exclaiming...."At last, this is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone, I will call her women because she comes from man".:......(Genesis 2:18-23.)  How does Science relate to this Scripture?  The marrow of the "rib" is one of the best sources to harvest adult stem which are easily "re-set" to an early embryonic like state called "Induced Pluri-potency." The answer to how God created Eve is simple as well.....  take two "induced" stem cells, remove and discard the "Y" chromosome (DNA)  from one of them. Remove an "X" chromosome (DNA) from a second cell, discard cell and insert the "X" chromosome into the first. The resulting cell is then induced to go through cleavage and morphogenesis and is placed into a "surrogate" womb (probably artificial and not an indigenous Simian female)  and nine months later a female child is born...."little" Eve...a female "clone" of Adam fulfilling....."at last flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone."  I suspect the ":deep sleep" part of the Scripture  had to do with maybe cryogenic suspension of Adam  and not "rib" removal surgery....(needle aspiration was all that was required anyway) because when Eve was presented to Adam she was already grown into a young women

Remember.....God's Laws are PERFECT so one could easily expect He used them to CREATE EVERYTHING.  The assumption that God is required to use the "supernatural" to create and project His will on Creation is an over simplification that limits God's power to man's limited "thinking" because the "supernatural" is the UNDISCOVERED natural. (The Amazing Kreskin)  I guess you may think I'm nuts but I must tell you my FAITH in God's Word because of Science can never ever be placed in jeopardy.   St. Thomas (Didymus) did not believe in the Resurrection of Jesus until the second visitation of Jesus with His Disciples when Jesus asked Thomas to place his fingers into the nail wounds in His hands and sword wound in His side,  Thomas fell to His knees saying my Lord and my God forgive me for "doubting."   I may not have had such a profound epiphany as St. Thomas but God revealing that Science proves the TRUTH of God's Word is "my Doubting Thomas epiphany."





 A serious problem for Science caused by their dismissing the Wisdom of God's Word is a need for a beginning to existence created by absolutely nothing.  Experiments that have shown that simple biological molecules can spontaneously form by natural collisions of elements have fooled them into believing "life" itself evolved from these simple beginnings.  Stanley Miller and Harold Urey were the two Scientists that sadly influenced Science to embrace the creation of life from non-life.  The TRUTH is that the Miller/Urey experiments did NOT prove "abiogenesis." (life from non-life) However.... French Chemist Louis Pasteur's experiment he performed over 142 years ago DID prove "biogenesis".....that is....."ALL life comes from pre-existing life."   The Miller/Urey experiments only proved the natural synthesis of amino acids....the building blocks of proteins which are polymer chains of amino acids.......NOT spontaneous  generation of life. The "jump" from amino acids to active protein enzymes which regulate energy transformations revealed in the Laws of Thermodynamics are needed to synthesize proteins is a "closed loop."   This means that a protein enzyme is needed to synthesize a protein enzyme!  Protein enzymes are also needed to synthesize  DNA and RNA  but the DNA and the RNA contain the recorded "genetic codes" to "make" the protein enzymes of specific amino acid sequences needed to make the DNA...ANOTHER "closed loop."   What this means is Pasteur was right and Miller/Urey proved NOTHING!   Many compound building blocks of organic molecules can form "naturally"  but the assimilation of these biological compounds into a living organism REQUIRES a living organism.    Bottom line.....the ONLY thing that can create a life is life itself through  asexual or sexual reproduction...PERIOD.



Recently there have been MANY claims of creating artificial life in a test tube.   This is an ABSOLUTE illusion.....  don't fall for it!  All they have done is learn how to "re-program" a cell by replacing it's DNA with DNA that was artificially synthesized in a test tube. DNA is NOT a living thing...it is how living things "record" genetic information. The point is they HAD TO HAVE AN ALREADY LIVING CELL TO DO THIS. No one has "made" a living cell from a "non-living mixture" of the biochemicals found in living cells AND THEY NEVER WILL.  Biogenesis is a Law...God's Law and it can never be broken.   Frankenstein is a myth!



In conclusion, I submit that the time, energy and money spent on the "war" between Science and Religion defending pseudoscience over real Science, defending the literal interpretation of the Bible actually hinders the Gospel message of Salvation through the Blood of Christ. .The critical message of the Bible is Salvation in Christ, NOT defending a 6000 year old Earth vs a 4.5 billion year old one.  It saddens me to think how many more souls might be lead to Christ IF these resources were spent on preaching Jesus Christ and Him Crucified. God loves us with a power that we can NEVER understand,   He has no reason to "trick" us or "test" our Faith and Trust in Him because ALL was "finished" on the Cross of Calvary.

THE LIAR


…….satan's biggest lies...…"you surely  will not die if you eat the tree of knowledge in the center of the garden."  second one.....I (satan) do not exist ..and the third...… Darwinism is antiGod and anti Bible.   The religious world has unwittingly rejected Darwinism and the atheistic non-religious world has not only embraced Darwinism as antiGod..they have CONVINCED the religious world that is it is indeed antiGod and antiBible allowing them to claim it supports their atheistic belief. 

.

God is PERFECT...His. Laws are PERFECT....both .physical and spiritual (quantum) Most people think that the "supernatural" is a violation of God's  Natural Laws. That is an oxymoron and illogical  because that which is already PERFECT does NOT have to be altered to be real.  The illusionist "The Great Kreskin" said that the "supernatural" is the UNDISCOVERED Natural.   God's "Gift" of Science.....given because we are created IN THE "IMAGE OF GOD", has revealed to man that indeed His Laws are PERFECT in the discovery of the Laws of the Quantum Reality and  particularly Quantum Entanglement in the last 30 years.  (Note: the double slit experiment allowed man to eventually discover the reality of the Quantum which apperas to violate God's Laws but in reality verifies them) 

Another way of saying God's Laws are PERFECT and operate according to His Will is that HIS LAWS ARE NATURAL.     It is man in his fallen state that causes the UNNATURAL.....choices that violate God's PERFECT Laws.....and HIS WILL.



The "key" to understanding that Darwinism is in reality compatible with God's Will and Word.....the Bible.....is the word NATURAL.  Natural Selection is God's Will because His NATURAL Laws determine the processes that lead to extinction OR survival of living organisms resulting in speciation and  the majestic, awesome, beautiful and wonderful diversity of life on planet Earth.   Man "thinks" he knows what is "best".....like his superficial view that Darwinism is "survival of the fittest."  The problem is we have absolutely no idea what God considers "the fittest."   For most people it seems to imply the weak die and the strong live.  We are NOT God...we have no concept of what the fittest is.     The recombination of genetic information in a specific population's "gene pool"  "selects" those traits that allow survival of some in the population ...God's spirit dwells within and influences those who believe and allow His Will to manifest within but sadly most people who influence the religious world or the science world have no clue that God is there inside and therefore are unable to allow God to influence their thinking......in other words…….they are using UNNATURAL SELECTION.   Abortion, murder and sexual choices that interfere with NATURAL SELECTION of the "gene pool.    If a given recombination of genetic information in the formation of a specific male gamete and female gamete and the fusion of them   results in spontaneous termination of morphogenesis (miscarriage) IT IS  NATURAL and therefore God's Will. If we intentionally terminate by choice for ANY reason it is UNNATURAL and therefore NOT the Will of God because WE ARE THE ONES REMOVING GENES FROM GOD"S POOL OF GENES!! Today, because of God's Gift of Science we are fortunately able to "correct" some genetic information via recombinant DNA and many other medical technologies and thereby AVOID termination......which is NATURAL and therefore God's Will because life is being preserved NOT terminated!



In 1969 (year Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon) I was a student at CCNY in New York City.  I ate my lunch in between morning and afternoon classes in the student union. At the time I was involved in Campus Crusade for Christ.  One day an Orthodox Rabbi who taught Biology at Brooklyn Tech asked if he could join me for lunch and share our "faith" noticing I was rather enthusiastic about mine!  He learned I was a Regents  Biology teacher in upstate New York and he wanted to share some Biblical Truth that eventually  became my "own Doubting Thomas Epiphany." He had his Torah and I had my Douay-Rhiems  Bible.   He took me through Genesis in his Torah written in ancient Hebrew comparing to my Bible as he went along.    I was shocked at something I never noticed before...………………….and something very few are even aware of............



The whole basis of Darwin's Theory of Evolution was based on his observation of groups of organisms from unicellular to the multicellular. His observation of changes in goldfinch bird populations around the Galapagos Islands was the impetus  that began his investigations of all groups of organisms from simple to complex resulting in his explanation of change in populations over time from simple to complex by what he called NATURAL SELECTION.  Amazing in he had no clue about gene pools or DNA.  We call specific groups of organisms with basic similar characteristics as in the same PHYLUM.   Darwin observed that each PHYLUM developed more and more complex characteristics that to seem to help that particular group survive in a changing environmental conditions caused by geographic separation and other parameters that allowed for NATURAL SELECTION (chemical, physical, radiation etc)  Darwin was able to place the phylums of organisms in a sequential order that reflected the apparent concept of EVOLUTION by NATURAL SELECTION.



NOTE: there is another observation in morphogenesis of  organisms that Darwin never knew.......the morphogenesis from the unicellular to multicellular stage of an individual  reflects the phylogenetic change from phylum to phylum.   Called "Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny" ……..embryological development reflects the sequence of evolutionary stages."  SEQUENCE (simplified)   {unicellular-colonial, volvox-poriferan (tissue level sponges)-diploblastic coelenterate ( 2 tissue hydrozoan ,jellyfish , coral) -triploblastic three tissue platyhelminths  (flatworms) -coelomic true body cavity nematodes (round worms .."inventers of the anus... thank God!" )- mollusks (clams, scallops, squid octopus) , arthropods (spiders, insect, crab) - echinoderms (starfish) -vertebrates….jawless fish (agnatha), soft bone fish,(chondricthyes) , bone fish (osteicthyes) , amphibian (frogs, salamanders)  reptilian (snake, lizard. turtle, gators) avian (birds) mammals.}



That "shocking" thing that  Rabbi revealed to me back in NYC in 1969 was  that IN THE ancient Hebrew...the sequence of God's Creation of life in Genesis is PHYLOGENETIC......reflects evolutionary sequence  just like embryological morphogenesis does!   Is it not ironic how those who believe in God reject this and those who don't believe in God the Creator embrace it thinking it disproves God?  Who do suppose has caused this confusion?  ...satan the liar.  Why?......because he knows that Natural Selection proves that God's Word.....the  Bible is ABSOLUTE inerrant truth. God is the SPIRIT of Love within us and His influence on our lives depends on us acknowledging Him. God is NOT a man that He should lie.    God's "Gift" of Science has allowed us to see how God Created the awesome diversity of life....it is man who insists God created life by  "magic" instead of His PERFECT LAWS.   God's Word tells us to worship Him in Spirit and Truth.....how can we if we reject His wondrous PERFECT LAWS? God Created by His WORD...."let there be light" etc.......what was He doing?   I believe He was establishing His PERFECT LAWS.







Incidentally,  while I was a student at Syracuse University back in the 90's,  a copy of Darwin's ORIGINAL "Origin of the Species" was on loan from England at the Science Library.   I had the unbelievable opportunity to hold Darwin's Book in my hands protected by wearing white gloves!  Every time I get in a conversation with religious people over Darwin they tell me he is an evil atheistic monster.  If so ....why did I see...written and signed in Darwin's own hand writing the statement......."TO THE GLORY OF GOD."   I doubt an atheist would write such a statement in a book they wrote!



TO THE GLORY OF GOD, THE CREATOR OF LIFE
