Message of the Month
Life FORCE!
Volume 1   No. 1                                                                                   August 9, 1999
This message was first written  by Samuel M. Smith  September 22, 1990 ©2003 Up Way Publications. 

In this first sermon of the Message of the Month series, n the Up Way Publications website, I believe it is important to establish that God is indeed the Creator of the Universe and so also of all mankind. Science, when it follows the Rules of Scientific Evidence, proves that what is referred to as "the Creation model" comes much closer to beg scientifially demonrable than any of the many and varied theories of evolution today being foisted off on the young people in schools and on gullible adults.

Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?

If you believe in the Rules of Scientific Evidence, then the Biblical account of the beginning of the world as we know it fits perfectly. When you realize this, the question about the chicken and the egg ceases to be a “stumper”!

Obviously, in every case, the parents were created animals or other living beings and each was given a specific method of reproduction which still works the same way today that it did when God created it.

We can demonstrate and observe the hard, cold, solid scientific fact that an adult female chicken lays an egg which must be incubated at the proper temperature for the requred amount of time  to produce a chick which needs at least some feeding and watering care and attention to protection from predators if is ever to grow to adulthood itself. It can NOT be demonstrated that any egg ever came into being without the presence of a hen nor ever hatched without 

proper  incubation within certain set limits.  The complexities of the genetic codes for the chicken are too involved to have just happened over billions or even trillions of years by chance and occasional mutation, which is a theory that has absolutely NO real scientific proof, cannot be demonstrated nor experiments performed! It certainly cannot be observed. So why  would we believe it?

The discovery a few years ago of the supposedly extinct "coelacanth" fish off the coast of Africa and later in several other places in virtually the same exact form as the supposed fossil remains helps to prove that they did not evolve from fish to human as he evolutionists have tried to claim for many years. They are still reproducing "after his kind" just as the Bible says! And also as the Bible says, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God." (Psalm 14:1).

While I was living in New Smyrna Beach, Forida, about 1986, a high school girl in our church expressed her confusion about the Theory of Evolution as it was being taught to her at school. Even she, as someone not versed in the Bible story of Creation and only a new Christian had serious questions about the scientific accuracy of Darwin’s Theory. At that time, I wrote:
‘Your textbooks are right when they tell you that discovery of true Scientific Facts is based on the principle that first there is observation of something (object, plant, animal, mineral, heavenly body, electro-magnetic force, etc.). After the initial observation, a theory is

developed to attempt to explain the why, how , when and what of the thing observed. Then experiments, tests and further observations are made to determine whether the theory is correct and of what practical use to mankind the new information can be put. If the theory is correct, you may have discovered pasteurization of milk, a vaccine against polio or how to make an atom bomb.

'There are two theories commonly taught to our High School students which do not produce any solid answers and yet continue to be taught: the Theory of Evolution and the ‘‘Big Bang” Theory. Both attempt to disprove the Judeo-Christian Bible which is labeled as a book of religion and not of science by the secular humanists (which is also a religion with its own credo and doctrines) who are the main advocates of these two theories.
‘Let’s examine the evidence. Legal evidence must be able to stand on its own merit, since either side in the case, though sworn to be truthful, may in the heat of the dispute attempt to bring incomplete or biased evidence or testimony and mask the full facts from view. A prime example of the way this works is the so-called formulation measuring ‘‘carbon dating’’ which claims to extablish the age of fossils and minerals by a formulation measuring ‘‘carbon loss’’  but which has often been the subject of dispute between scientists and has been proven inaccurate many more times than accurate. In fact, do you remember reading about the ‘‘Piltdown Man? ’’ This was a skull and jawbone of a supposedly prehistoric man and was subjected to the carbon dating process--- at least according to the science books I studied in high school. The fact is that in the 1930’s, an attorney named Charles Dawson took a modern human skull and the jawbone of an orangutan and filed them to match — even leaving some of the file marks visible — and then “discovered” it to a pro-evolution scientist friend. Until 1958 it was accepted as “gospel” by the scientific community and then the truth became known and today you will also find the “ Piltdown Man” as a prime example of a HOAX in the Colliers Encyclopedia, along with the Cardiff Giant!
‘If someone told you that your shiny new automobile did not have a maker, but that over billions of years, magnetic forces had brought together the plastic interior, aluminum and chrome trim and copper wiring along with the oil, grease, transmission fluid, antifreeze and 
fabric that make up your car, you’d say they were crazy, and yet scientists say there are more genetic components to many of the simplest creatures than in the most complex automobile! Or consider the reproduction cycle of humans, birds, fish, insects reptiles and plants. In all but the simplest forms, there is a male / female relationship in which the male pollen or sperm must cross a hostile environment before uniting with the ovum. I could spend hours describing just the few hundred species with which I am personally familiar, from honeybees to pole beans and guppies to cows and pigs and orchids. What probability could you assign to the species of orchid evolving that is pollinated by only one species of solitary bee which derives its own sole nutrition from that one kind of orchid? It would have to be in such astronomical figures of improbability as to be impossible. But what is the probability that it was created and engineered by a higher power? About the same as that your car was made in an automobile factory and designed by a designer or team of designers! Think about it.’

It was not until fairly recent times, in the early 

Twentieth Century, that anyone took seriously any other belief, but in 1938, a researcher named Charles Darwin, after visiting the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, wrote his Theory of Evolution which was based on a correct belief in the “Survival of the Fittest” but went far beyond that into wild speculation and claimed that there was no creator, but everything just evolved over billions of years. Since that time, his theory and many variations of it have come to be seen as the scientific fact and Creation, as described in Genesis, has even been forbidden in our classrooms as being religion and courts order that the unscientific Theory of Evolution be taught as fact, because they say the Constitutional fmandates the separation of church and state. The fact is that the First Amendment, to which they refer, says: “Congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof..” Thus, prohibiting by court action the free exercise of religion, the courts have done what the Constitution forbids the Congress to do.

Life FORCE

We may make a seed that looks just like a pine tree seed and that has all the right chemical make up and in every way seems like the real thing. The germ may be in just the right place, the shell covering may be just the right thickness and hardness. The little yellowish green center which in the natural seed grows into the actual sprout may be just the right color and texture and combined of just the right cellular structure, but it will never grow no matter what you do to it because it lacks Life FORCE! We may take a seed that actually grew on a pine tree and heat it just until its Life Force dies and no matter how much we water it and nurture it, once that Life Force is gone, it  will never grow, yet it would have grown if planted fresh from the pinecone.
Using techniques developed in the late A.D. 1980’s and 1990’s, we can tale an egg cell from a white woman and fertilize it with the sperm cell from an oriental man and implant it within the womb of a black woman and see her give birth to a baby with the characteristica of a white and oriental parentage! But we cannot combine all the right chemical mollecules in all the right places and ever create life from dead chemical matter, even if it is from organic sources. Even if either the egg or sperm cell is real but has been subjected to conditions that cause it to lose its Life Force, it will not grow. The Life Force is the necessary ingredient which those who teach evolution cannot remotely hope to create or replicate or show a beginning for.
There is an electromagnetic force involved in the Life Force, but at no point and in no way can the perpetrators of the theory of evolution hoax pass electromagnetic fields, magnets or electricity over, around or through a manufactured or dead seed which has lost its Life Force, whether of plant or animal and cause it to come to life!
The ONLY truly scientific explanation is that some great Life Force first designed and then entered into all living things.  While Moses and other earrly Bible writers did not understand many of the complex and technical details we know and study in the early A.D. 1990’s, and their explanation was not intended to be a complete and scientific analysis in any case, they let us know that it is possible to know and have communication with this great Life Force, the Great Manufacturer of everything, and even in some cases have Him perform miraculous things for the benefit of those who give Him proper honor, credit and praise.
