Information

Connect…

We live in a universe governed by certain LAWS. For example, the law of gravity says that 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. The laws of thermodynamics are trustworthy.
nd
The 2 Law states that all systems move from order to disorder. It is also called the Law of Decay. It
states that everything is falling apart as systems gradually lose energy. All living things age and
eventually die.

God created all these Laws. These Laws are universally accepted as reality and fact. 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….

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.

The Biological Machines – The importance of Information

Introduction

Science has observed that there are constant laws in the universe that can always be relied upon and
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 levels,
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?"
