Realizing Matter Left to Itself Cannot Produce
Life
So A Creator Must Have
In these days of furor, fervor, and boundless hype-propaganda deceptively designed to lead America (and the world) to waste its resources (money, natural resources, and lives) to hunt for Life alleged to result from the properties of matter left to itself, in space, the key thing to know scientifically about Life and the history of the Earth and Space is the fact that dust and water, gas and minerals left to themselves cannot possibly produce Life, and cannot possibly have ever produced it on Earth, on Mars --- or on any other planet or asteroid. The chemistry of Life is too different from the chemistry of matter left to itself. Life and Non-living matter are separated by the Particular Polymer/Non-Polymer Divide. Life has now been studied much more closely than it could be in previous centuries, and it has been learned that Life is made of very Particular Polymers, Giant Chain Molecules (chained combinations of elements) which matter left to itself does not even make, let alone arrange into vastly complex Interactive, Inter-Dependent, Simultaneously Essential, Co-Operative Functional Organs of Living Cells; or into bodies made of vast Assemblies of such Cells into Interactive, Inter-Dependent, Simultaneously Essential, Co-Operative Functional Organs of Multi-cellular bodies.
Though Robert Hazen's book "Why Aren't Black Holes Black?" is generally evolutionary-materialist in tone (materialists are the ones who hew to the anti-scientific faith that Reproductive Life originated from matter left to itself), the facts of Life stand out so clearly that we find in even Hazen's book some testimony to the failures of the doctrines of the religion of evolutionary materialism, including specifically the fact that matter left to itself does not even make significant general polymers (this is from page 165 in the paperback):
"Research into pre-biotic chemistry
hits a serious snag when it comes to transforming monomers into polymers. . . . The large
molecules, the large and complex Polymer-molecules essential to Life, the proteins with
dozens or hundreds of amino acids, RNA, and DNA formed with long chains of nucleotides, or
cellulose assembled from countless individual sugar molecules -- do not appear
spontaneously, even in carefully devised environments with high concentrations of
monomers. Indeed, these macromolecules appear to be quite unstable. Even when two
monomers link up or polymerize, they often will just as quickly disintegrate or
de-polymerize under water-rich conditions."
You want to find water in space? Fine. Send out your rockets if water is that
valuable to you, but do not expect to find Life with whatever water you find. Water
destroys even the simplest of general polymers, as we have just seen, and water never
spontaneously forms, or tolerates the formation of, the Particular Polymers of Life, in
their Requisite Structural, Co-operative Organ Arrangements. For that matter, no
matter of any kind left to itself ever produces even the Critical Component parts of the
Particular Polymers of Life, in any distribution close to that used in Life, if, left to
itself, it ever produces anything related to those Critical Components, like even
the wrong kind of amino acids, at all. Those facts may be studied in NSF winner and
Genetics Educator Gary Parker's excellent book, "Creation: Facts of Life", as
well as in the related book by Parker and Morris (with too long and distinguished a
scientific career to go into here), their book being entitled "What Is Creation
Science?", as well as in Biochemist Duane Gish' monograph entitled "Speculations
and Experiments Related to Theories On the Origin of Life: A Critique". Those
are available from:
http://www.icr.org (a Graduate School and Museum) or
http://www.AnswersInGenesis.org (a
Bible and Science organization, or in any decent bookstore).
These books have become available over the years because for many centuries the Bible has
made many scientists wise enough to look and see that Science points to Creation, not to
the production of Life by matter left to itself, and such scientists have been working
hard to combat deception to the contrary and get that information to others. Any
fool given any data at all, should see be able to recognize these facts. It is only the
power of sin, and its temptation which makes us want to conform with the misguided, to
gain the approval of the many who are on the pathway to destruction, of which Jesus warns
us (in Matthew 7:13,14), which leads so many to deliberately blind themselves into
believing the impossible.
Since matter left to itself does not even make the Very Particular Polymers used
in Living Cells, still less does it ever make such Living Cells; and since it does not
make Living Cells, how much less could matter left to itself ever produce Multi-Cellular
Bodies composed of Organs made out of such Cells (that matter does not even make)?
Yet the bodies of Living Things are made out of Organs made out of such cells made in turn
out of those Particular Polymers made of Critical Components, and such Organs, like the
Cells, are also Interactive, Interdependent, Simultaneously Essential, and
Co-Operative. All those Organs, all those Cells, and all those Particular Polymers
composed of those Critical Components must all work together harmoniously and
simultaneously for there to be any Life at all.
If (as is the case) matter left to itself cannot produce even the Particular Polymers of
Living Cells, it is even more the case that matter left to itself cannot produce (lacks
the organizational properties to produce) any of the "Vastly Complicated, Programmed
and Engineered, Interactive, Co-Operative, Co-Essential, Co-Dependent Functional Working
Sub-Assemblies" (Organs) of Cells, or any of the same sort of (I must abbreviate)
"V-C, PaE, I, C-O, C-O, C-D, FWS-A" of those Cells into Organs of much more
complicated bodies,
Multi-Cellular Bodies.
So matter left to itself is a hopeless case to look to for the Assembly of Life, but it is
up to us all to recognize the evidence, as well as the explicit and implicit testimonies
to that scientific fact in the Holy Bible, which tell us in The Book of Genesis, Chapter
One, ten times, that since matter being unable to produce any Life (or else God would not
have gotten involved, God made all the Living Things "each according to its Kind,
with seed in them, each according to its Kind". We are told that ten times, in
the context of Genesis Chapter One.
The Particular Polymers used in the construction of
Life are much more particular than just the general polymers which matter does not
make. The Particular Polymers of Life are composed of Critical Components that
matter left to itself does not make. Matter left to itself exists on one level, and
Living Things are composed of combinations of matter on an entirely different level from
the level on which matter left to itself exists. Matter left to itself, dust, water,
mineral, and gas exists as unlinked matter, non-polymer (or sub-monomer) matter (monomers
are links in polymer chains, so unlinked, non-polymer matter is called sub-monomer matter,
as it is also called non-polymer matter), but Life is composed of very special Particular
Polymer matter, polymers being long chains of compound molecules, those often being
organic molecules, meaning they contain carbon.
In denial of all this science, and of much more besides, we are being lied to by NASA, the
schools, and the museums with claims to the contrary (out of ignorance or deception) in
terms of what is known to science about non-living matter. The dust and water,
minerals and gas of the planets are known as sub-monomer, or unlinked, non-polymer matter,
and Life is made of Super-Special Polymers (highly-linked matter) --- and not just
Super-Special Polymers, the kind which non-living matter never produces --- but even those
Super-Special Polymers are nothing without Super-Exquisite Arrangement into
Deeply-Imbedded, Multi-Dimensional Structures --- which are far, far, far, far, far, far,
far beyond the properties of matter to produce. Dust and minerals, water and gas
(sub-monomer, unlinked matter) cannot even "form and sustain" even general
polymers useless to Life, must less Gather, and still less, ever Arrange, even general
polymers useless to Life; and still much less Produce, Gather, .and.(all are required)/or
Arrange, the Super-Special Particular Polymers of Life, as the science cited on this site
will show. The short papers on this site make completely clear to anyone with an
open mind that Life cannot come from the properties of matter. So weep,
materialists, who claim Life comes from some property of matter, because the baselessness
of your false religion parading as science is becoming known to people as it is already
known to God --- The Only Conceivable Creator/Arranger, in view of matter's impotence ---
it is becoming known to people who thus serve the Truth of God as they heed truthful
science!

And the fact that matter left to itself cannot produce Life has some important implications. Many have been sold, and NASA is basing its pitch (for money), to "look" for Life in space, on the idea that Life Could have come from the properties of matter, but since science makes clear that Life could Not have come from the properties of matter, it means NASA is misled and misleading America with its policy. Of course, to many people at NASA, the claim that Life came from the properties of matter is a religion they wish to believe in spite of the scientific facts showing that Life could not have come from the properties of matter, and it is in pursuit of their religion of materialism that NASA is calling for on tons of tax dollars to spend on rockets, and nonsense plans about Mars which are never going to succeed in finding any Life. How our Government can allow our tax dollars to be spent on projects in pursuit of the Establishment of the materialist religion in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of these United States, is unexplainable except for the fact that the perverse, sinful nature of man has been allowed to run so amok among us that we have been led astray, away from a correct understanding of the facts of science concerning what matter can and cannot do.
As you will see, if you read any of these articles at all, SCIENCE SHOWS VERY CLEARLY, IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK, THAT LIFE COULD NOT HAVE COME FROM THE PROPERTIES OF MATTER, and it is very clear that since matter could not have arranged Life, which is ARRANGED in the form of Super-Special Particular Polymer (Linked) matter (which matter'S properties never "do", left alone) --- so in the only available alternative, Life must have been Arranged (capitalized because of the monumental wonder of the job), and such Arrangement could only have come from a Super-Intelligent Arranger, a Creator of us all, of all Living Things, every one.
And this is very important for
yet another reason --- because we have been told that the Dino-Creatures and other Giants
and smaller extinct creatures whose fossilized remains lie in the Sediments of the Crust
of the Earth simply developed from the properties of matter, but we see now that this
cannot be true, so it is quite clear that what matter could not do, An Arranger must have
done: there is no other answer. Space could not have created them, and if matter
could not produce Life, as science shows, then how could Life have been produced, except
by a Creator?
And if the properties of matter could not make those Once-Living
Things now fossilized in the sediments of the earth's crust over short time or long,
that limitation was not imposed on the Arranger. Our Life is so Magnificently,
Bio-chemically, Selectively Complex, that it could not have been put together "an
atom here, an atom there, and nothing in between". The properties of the matter
involved in the structures which make up Living Systems had to be held in suspension while
the otherwise reactive molecules were assembled (or reacting, they would have disassembled
prematurely), and once assembled, all the inter-dependent, inter-cooperative organ,
working and interfacing components of the system(s) co-related to one another had to be
"all present and simultaneously ready to interact" --- all present and accounted
for --- for any of them to be of any good at all to sustaining the metabolism of the
organism. The creation of each Kind had to be done all at once. Furthermore,
the hospitable environment provided with the nourishing food they would need to metabolize
from the day they began to live had to be present and ready-to-serve, for they would need
nourishment from the day they were made. Our Creator therefore evidently made all
Living Things, in their Kinds, "with seed in them, each according to its Kind"
(one of many requirements of continuity), in short order.
So what the properties of matter could not produce over even vast time
contrary to what we have been so often and falsely told, an Arranger evidently did
produce, and quickly, just as The Arranger created the universe in short order. The
magnitudes of the two jobs seem to me to be about the same, the one (the universe) in
magnitude, and the other (Living Systems), in "minitude". The
Arranging of Super-Special Polymer Life out of unlinked (sub-monomer) matter formed into
zillion part assemblies smaller than the head of pin is no easy task, but One on a par
with Creating the universe. It seems sort of like a Chinese
box-within-a-box-within-a-box ... situation, on a Creator-of-the-universe scale, and One
Who could create the universe certainly had the requisite Creativity and Power to Arrange
the Diverse Kinds of Living Things on the earth, Kinds so separate and different (with, of
course, the capacity for varieties of genetic expression within each Kind).
The upshot of the matter is, that while we have been told the Creator and Arranger of Life took a long time to do the job of arranging Life, by assigning the job to matter, the truth is that science shows matter was not given any property of originating Life, whether over short time or long, so those sedimentary banks containing the remains of Living Things of Diverse Kinds cannot possibly represent vast periods of time over which Life "developed" as any consequence of the properties of matter (that cannot happen); instead, the families of those Diverse Kinds of creatures, formed by a Creator, "DNA and all, large and small", the creatures whose remains are fossilized in the banks of sediment, including those offspring of the human family, had to be produced quickly by the Arranging Power and Skill of an Arranger, and buried by something other than time. As the verse in From the Beginning puts it:
And what buried them deep in the banks
of the earth?
'Twasn’t time, as so often’s been said -
Time doesn’t move lands in that volume, you see,
no, or sort it in vast and deep beds ---
So great in extent that they cover whole states,
even stretches of great continents,
But St. Helens has shown us how fast they can form,
when the earth that we live on is rent.
And as you will see if you read on, those sedimentary banks did not take long times to form, but were formed rapidly by a humongous Volcanic, Oceanic, Inundational Cataclysmic Event (VOICE), which moved virtually all of those sediments in a very short period. Colorado State University's Engineering Department has learned that banks of sediment on top of one another form simultaneously all at once, when and only when volumes of different sediments are moved all at once, whether in water, air, or vacuum. We have a record of just such an event happening on the earth. The Historical Record given in The Holy and Historically Accurate Bible says that just that very thing happened to the earth over an 11 month period, during 5 months of which the sediment-laden waters kept rising relative to the level of the lands, lands which may also have fallen in elevation relative to their former positions, and relative to the sediment-laden waters, due to all the convulsions going on inside the earth with all the sub-oceanic volcanic activity. The volcanoes of the ocean bottoms must have continued exploding simultaneously and pouring out their material from inside the earth for about that 5 months. As Moses near ancestors recorded the event:
"On .. that same day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and burst forth, and the windows and flood gates of the heavens were opened ... And the waters prevailed upon the earth (or lands) 150 days --- five months." Genesis 7, verses 11 and 24, The Holy Bible
"All the fountains of the great deep" evidently kept exploding for a period of more or less 5 months, during which massive changes occurred in the earth, including the formation of the sedimentary banks full of the bodies of billions of dead creatures which were alive in greater abundance than we have now, inhabiting the earth together, at the onset of the Geo-Erosional And Depositional Inundation Event (or GEA-DIE).
Relatedly, here is what George Washington said about the Origin and Understanding of Life on Earth:
"It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being. Religion is as necessary to reason, as reason is to religion. The one cannot exist without the other. A reasoning being would lose his reason, in attempting to account for the great phenomena of nature, had he not a Supreme Being to refer to; ... --- George Washington, Programs and Papers, U.S. George Washington BiCentennial Commission, 1932, p. 275."
