Q

what is the scientific data that suggest that the Earth may be the only planet in the right place at the right time to sustain life?

A

The scientific data that suggests that Earth is the only life-filled planet is that Earth’s atmosphere filters out UV rays while working with oceans to moderate climate. Another is that Earth’s plate techtonics acts as the right thermostat to keep greenhouse gases in balance & surface temp under control. Also Earth is the right size & gravitational pull to keep safe from harmful gases.

79
Q

Why would the discovery of extraterrestrial life not be a problem for christians?

A

That wouldn’t be a problem for Christians because God could have created other life-filled planets that the bible didn’t mention.

80
Q

If a perfect God created this world, why isn’t the world perfect?

A

The world once was perfect but because of free will, sin came into this world and ruined it.

81
Q

Are there conflicts between science & God? give examples

A

Yes, some examples of conflicts are creation, how long we have been on this earth, evolution, and miracles. Science has an “explanation for these but God’s answer is right. Also, how the world will end, how dinosaurs became extinct and many more. God is right because he has performed countless miracles, prophecies have come true and people have changed.

82
Q

what made Lee start to question his acceptance of science and rejection of God?

A

science gave Lee an answer to all of his questions about God that nobody had answered. It gave hard facts, discoveries and proven experiments

83
Q

How does Leslie’s role in Lee’s story apply do you? what lesson can you learn from that story

A

Leslie’s role in Lee’s story applies to me by representing Christians I know any gifts and example of how God changes you I can learn to be a reason for people to believe in God, to show them how he changes you

84
Q

What was the first question Mr. Strobel investigated in his search for truth about the Universe?

A

How do scientific models and theories explain the origin of everything.

85
Q

What is the basic meaning of spontaneous existence

A

that nothing caused it; it just happened.

86
Q

What theory intrigued Mr. Strobel the most and wha tare the three main arguments of it?

A

The theory Kalam intrigued him most.
-The three main arguments are that everything that begins to exist has a cause
-the universe began to exist and therefore, the universe has a cause
?

87
Q

what is the difference between a vacuum and a quantum vacuum? why is this an important distinction?

A

a vacuum is absolutely nothing while a quantum vacuum is a sea of fluctuating energy. an arena of violent activity that has a rich physical structure & can be described by physical laws. It wouldn’t be an example of something being created by nothing, but the quantum vacuum & the energy inside it are the cause of these particles.

88
Q

in what two ways have scholars found that the universe had a beginning point?

A

the scholars have found evidence in mathematical reasoning and scientific evidence.

  • math shows that we’ve subtracted identical numbers from identical numbers and got non identical results.
  • science shows that the universe has not always existed.
89
Q

What is the name of the theory that most scientists believe started the universe?

A

the Big Bang caused the universe to be created.

90
Q

is the Big Bang theory contradictory to the biblical account?

A

No it agrees with the biblical account because in the bible, God said the word and it was created. he is powerful enough to just ceate it like “that”. There is also lots of scientific evidence to support it.

91
Q

what is the differnece between micro and macro evolution? do they both contradict Christianity? why or why not?

A
  • microevolution is small changes within a species
  • macroevolution is changes from one species to another
  • Microevolution doesn’t contradict Christianity because everything has to adapt to environments somehow.
  • Macroevolution contradicts Christianity because nothing can just change from one species to another. That’s not how God created us.
92
Q

what is the cambrian explosion? how does it support the bible?

A

the cambrian explosion is the fossil record when lots of fossils were formed at the same time. Lots of phyla just suddenly appeared or were created.
It supports the bible because it shows that there wasn’t any gradual change or one common ancestor. It points to a creator.

93
Q

What are Haeckel’s embryos intended to prove

A

they are supposed to prove that all organisms look the same when we are embryos. so we came from the same species.

94
Q

what did Jonathan Wells discover. why was it so disturbing?

A

He discovered that the drawings were faked because they looked nothing like the actual pictures of embryos. it is so disturbing because they are misleadig, but they are still being put in science textbooks today.

95
Q

What was Berra’s blunder?

A

it was when Tim Berra made his analogy using corvettes and how they have “evolved” to be better over time. He actually opened the door to an intelligent designer because Corvettes are designed by designers, not on their own.

96
Q

What is the missing link and why wasn’t the Archaeoraptor not it

A

The missing link is a transitionary fossil to show evolution in the process. The archaeoraptor isn’t it because a Chinese paleontologist proved that someone had just glued a dinosaur on the bird.

97
Q

What is intelligent design

A

intelligent design is the theory that holds certain features of the universe and of living things that are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.

98
Q

what four fields of science all point to intelligent design

A

the four fields of science that point to a creator are cosmology, physics, astronomy and biology

99
Q

list at least three reasons why the Java man is rejected as a missing link between men and apes by many scientists

A
  • the femur apparently didn’t really belong with the skull cap
  • the skull cap was distinctly human and reflected a brain capacity well within the range of humans living today
  • a 342 page from a fact finding scientific report demolished Dubois’ claims.
