And then did there exist a “warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, light, heat, electricity, &c., present, that a proteine (sic) compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes, at the present day such matter would be instantly absorbed, which would not have been the case before [...]

This view of creationism rests on a literal interpretation of the Bible. The notion is that the Earth was created 6000-10000 years ago. The dating is based on the genealogy listed in the chapter Numbers in the Bible. This perspective says that uniformitarian interpretations of geology and cosmology are incorrect or misinterpreted. [...]

Hallmarks of Design
I’ve written before about how things that are designed exhibit function or specific complexity. I’ll give a definition in a bit more detail here.
Systems that are of high complexity, that is functionally integrated multicomponent systems, systems that are of high specificity where only one or very few of many possible arrangements of these [...]

The Christian Scribbler has written an interesting post on the macro level of irreducible complexity. Kliska writes:
I’m in the middle of a book titled: In Six Days; Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation (Ashton, 2000). All the chapters (which are composed by the different scientists giving their reasons) have been informative and interesting, [...]

Yet the proponents of the theory of evolution simply don’t allow answers to their arguments, supposedly by rule. They’ll argue that God wouldn’t make a panda’s thumb in a certain way, yet those who might argue that God would make the panda’s thumb like it is supposedly aren’t allowed to answer.
Yes, and then they say, [...]

The scope of intelligent design is limited. It either assumes that a designer kicked things off in the beginning with the a plan that things would unfold as they did, or that a designer was involved at some point in the design of life forms. Christian creationism differs from this in some ways [...]

And did then the Earth form from the same disc cloud that the Sun formed. And so did the mass and gravitational pull of the Earth increase. And did metorites impact frequently, creating a “hellish” early Earth. Plate techtonics did completely destroy the evidence of this early Hell. But the “Hell” [...]

And then, things cooled off. Matter coalesced into suns and planets. And then was there a nearby supernova. Squeezing the clouds of dust. The squeezing made the clouds of dust coalesce, and gravity pulled the clouds together. The clouds began to spin as it began to collapse. Eventually, this cloud grew heavier and denser in [...]
