The Scripture the Astronauts Read
Copyright 1998-2001 Richard Plumer II. All Rights Reserved.

    The first astronauts to the moon read the following Holy Scripture aloud for all to hear:

 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."  Genesis 1, verse 1 (1:1) 

But NASA fights adamantly to ignore Genesis 1:2:

    "The earth was without form, and void, ..." until God began His Assembly of the Kinds of Living Things, the concern of the rest of the chapter (Genesis 1:3-31).  The Scripture is making the point that matter-left-to-itself had no property to assemble Living Things.

    But NASA, in order to sell rockets, persists in suborning the false impression that elemental-matter-left-to-itself has any property to assemble into anything even close to any small part of any Living System.  Nevertheless, the Scripture is true, as any study of the science of the properties of elemental-matter-left-to-itself will show.

    True science tells us that elemental-matter-left-to-itself has/had no property to assemble into anything close to any part of any Living System: that is how it was from the Beginning, and that is how it is, because the properties of elemental matter have not changed.  God did not assign the job of producing Living Systems to elemental-matter-left-to-itself.  There was no Life proceeding from the properties of elemental-matter-left-to-itself from the time matter was made.  If Life was to exist, it would be up to God to create it.   "The earth was without form, and void" (Genesis 1:1) up until the time when God began His Work of Creative Assembly and Provision of the Kinds of Living Things (the rest of the chapter), each with its own form of mobility for its own ecosphere, each with its own diet, and each with its own "seed, each according to its Kind" (the provision for the multiplication of each Kind by each Kind according to the "seed" given each Kind is abundantly covered --- even 10 times, so even NASA should not miss it --- in the short, chapter, Genesis One). 

    Elemental-matter-left-to-itself not only has no provision to originally form any Living System, nor yet any property capable of forming de-novo any new functional system for any Living Thing; neither does elemental-matter-left-to-itself have any property providing for the multiplication of any Kind of Living Thing.  Those implications of the Book of Genesis concerning the properties of elemental-matter-left-to-itself are abundantly confirmed and affirmed by all good science of elemental-matter.  But NASA, the museums, and the schools are obstinately closed-minded and resistant to realizing the truth of those statements predicting the scientific realities affirmed by all good science, lest good science interfere with the government largesse (the budgets) they depend on.

    No elemental-matter-left-to-itself ever created any Life, or ever even came close.  Neither did it ever provide for the multiplication of any of the Diverse Kinds of Living Things.  God had to act, or there would be no Life, and there would be no multiplication. God gave each of the Diverse Kinds "seed in itself, each according to its Kind".  The Bible thus tells us what good science of the properties of elemental-matter-left-to-itself independently affirms: that matter-left-to-itself has no property to assemble anything close to any part of any living system, or to provide for its multiplication.

     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."

Note: Any polymer company, like, say, GEPolymerland, can tell you that the reason they are in business, is that elemental matter, left to itself, does not produce even rudimentary large polymers, let alone any of Life-Class, whose proteins are entirely "left-handed", and still less multiplied mutually-interdependent interactive mechanisms made out of such Life-Class polymers, which are what Life is made out of.  So we cannot just go out to fields of elemental-matter-left-to-itself and dig any polymers up: they do not form as a consequence of the properties of elemental-matter-left-to-itself. 

We only know about polymers from the study of the molecules of which Life is comprised, molecules of a structure that elemental-matter-left-to-itself never approaches.  Therefore, there is no accounting for the existence of Life without the existence of a Creator; and the architectural configurations of the Diverse Kinds of Living Things in this world, "each with seed in it, according to its Kind", perfectly matches the description given 10 times in Chapter One of the Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible, which tells anyone with eyes to see that the Bible is the Creator's Book given to us for our good, benefit, enlightenment, and guidance in all things most essential for us to know in Life.
