The Fifth Day Of Creation Flashcards
Kind
Heb. “Miyn” מינ to portion out, or kind, to sort out (this sounds like the list of the genus & species for all the animals)
God gave each creature enough variety of genetic information so their descendants could adapt to a wide variety of environments.
Species
A class of individuals having some common characteristics or qualities; distinct sort or kind. The major subdivision of a genus or subgenus, regarded as the basic category of biological classification, a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genetic information or interbreeding.
Basic Genetics
Where did the genes come from?
Darwin had no knowledge of genes in his day but modern evolutionists have come up with the idea that mutations have produced the positive changes that made the steps to each new species. Is this possible?
All living matter contains DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)as its genetic material. DNA stores & transfers the information required for all life processes. Each DNA molecule is made up of thousands of long chains of nucleotides, they are connected in a ladder like form called a double helix.
Natural Selection or Selective breeding or microevolution
works from genetic information that is already present in the original breeding pairs.
Mutations have never been found to add genetic information to any species.
Common Designer
God used the same basic materials (biochemical compounds & anatomical structures) to make all of the created life forms on earth.
•Common biochemistry allows each living organism to gain nourishment from other living organisms within this system.
•Environmental interdependence – all life forms in this system are able to meet the needs of other life forms in this system. (ex. trees exhale oxygen)
-Similarities in structure therefore do not necessarily imply evolutionary descent from a common ancestor.
•An alternative and better explanation is that of creation by a common intelligent designer.
The Simple Cell ?
- Evolutionists say we came from a simple cell.
- Scientists today are finding how complex every cell is. A human cell to a virus are as complex as a large city.
- Some of the cellular details going on right now are reproduction, energy production, guarding against invasion, food & waste transport in the 60 trillion adult human cells in your body.
The Fifth Day of Creation
Gen. 1:20-23 On the fifth day Elohim created all the fish, birds and mammals of the sea after their kind or species.
