Creation Moments

Jonathan Cotton: a lie from 1923 that's still being told in textbooks today. That's next on today's creation moment. And now here's our creation moment host Ian Taylor.

Ian T. Taylor: While evolutionists offer theories of how inorganic matter became biological molecules in the early Earth, they are at a loss to explain how molecules became life. The problem is that the oxygen in the atmosphere of the early Earth would instantly destroy those molecules. Alexandra Oparin proposed that the atmosphere of the early Earth contained no oxygen, and in this way he avoided the problem. Well, that was in 1923 and it has been the tidy textbook explanation to this day. Neil Phillips, an Australian geologist, reported finding iron oxide as pistoliths in rock strata in South Africa. Now, according to evolutionary theory, these strata are dated long before the first appearance of life, while pistoliths are known to form only in the presence of oxygen.

Well, based on his study, Phillips has concluded that the Earth has had enough oxygen in its atmosphere to react with geological features since the beginning of geological history. Well, that's enough oxygen to destroy any of the products of the chemistry evolutionists have proposed for the origin of life. Any model of origins is its ability to predict what kind of evidence to look for. The creation model says that there was air-breathing life within the first week that Earth's geology existed. The discovery of iron oxide in the most ancient rocks is therefore no surprise to those who accept creation.
