Study Section13: The Biological Machines – The importance of
Information.

13.1 Connect.

We live in a universe governed by certain LAWS. For example, the law of gravity says when
you drop something, it will fall to the ground. It always happens. Never will anything float
up (if heavier than air) but it falls under the law of gravitational forces. God created all these
Laws. Today we are going to look at some of God’s Laws and discover that they demonstrate
that evolution cannot possibly be true. Let’s dig in….

13.2 Objectives.

1. The student should be able to discuss the Laws of Thermodynamics and the Law of Angular
Momentum.

2. The student should be able to explain Irreducible Complexity and see how it demonstrates
that a designer is necessary for a complex system to exist.

3. The student should be able to offer several examples of irreducible complex systems in nature that
could not have come into existence through evolution.

13.3 The Biological Machines – The importance of Information.

Introduction

Science has observed that there are constant laws in the universe that always can be relied
upon and that form the basis upon which the universe operates and life systems depend.
This lesson will study some of those basic laws to see how they fit with either the Genesis
story or evolution.

As scientists have probed deeper into biological systems, especially on the molecular and atomic level,
they have discovered that all living systems are actually miniature machines. We want to look into some
of those machines to see how tremendously complex they are, then ask the question, “Could this have
happened by chance?”

Evolutionary scientists claim that life began by rote chance from a non-living “primordial soup” and that
all of what we see is billions of changes which happened accidently and just by coincidence, helped the
evolving animal better survive. Let’s look at the mathematical probability of some of these “rote
chances” happening to form life.

Some Basic Laws of the Universe

A physical law or scientific law is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of physical
behavior. Laws of nature are observable. Scientific laws are empirical, describing the observable laws.
Empirical laws are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments and simple
observations, over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific
community.
