Nuclear Physicist Insists Evolutionary Worldview 'Fails Dismally;' Says Denial of Genesis Account Should Not Be 'Taken Lightly' by Christians
A nuclear physicist who recently spoke out against the theory of evolution in relation to the origin of human life, has warned Christians that public denial of the Genesis creation account cannot be "taken lightly."In an interview with Christian News Network on Monday, Brandon van der Ventel, who holds a Ph D. from South Africa's Stellenbosch University, stressed the importance of having a biblical worldview while addressing the theory of evolution."The denial of the Genesis account is not a matter to be taken lightly by Christians," said van der Ventel. "If the biblical record is not true, then we are left with naturalism and atheism, of which the consequences are truly horrific.""The final arbiter of any theory must be based on the strength of its description of physical reality," he continued. "It is in this respect that the theory of evolution fails dismally.""Physics can also play a role when it comes to the sticky question of dating certain objects. It is important to understand that dinosaur bones, for example, are not found with a time stamp attached to them. Every publicized age is based on certain assumptions and conflicting radioactive dates are commonplace," he added.Dinosaur(Photo: Reuters/Maxi Jonas)A boy looks inside the skull a Tyrannosaurus Rex replica at the Egidio Feruglio Museum in the Argentina's Patagonian city of Trelew, May 18, 2014. About 200 fossils belonging to at least seven animals were found in an area located in the Patagonian province of Chubut. Jose Luis Carballido, a palaeontologist at the Museo Egidio Feruglio, believes what has been recovered only constitutes of "20 percent" of the material that might found at the location.Van der Ventel believes Christians need to hold fast to the knowledge that God created the universe with a specific order, and argues that if faith in the Genesis account is lost, the validity of the rest of the Bible can be questioned. He further contends that the theory of evolution is the No. 1 reason why many Christians no longer believe in the creation account.Various scientists who err on the side of the Genesis creation story have set out to prove its validity using their craft.Just last week, well-respected molecular geneticist Georgia Purdom talked about the documentary "The Genetics of Adam and Eve," in which she argues the validity of the creation story by tracing the genetics of all people to Adam and Eve. Purdom collaborated with the Young-Earth Creationist apologetics ministry, Answers in Genesis, to make the film."One of the most compelling genetic evidences for an original human couple created by God is mitochondrial DNA research done by creation geneticist, Nathaniel Jeanson," said Purdom to Christian News Network. "He clearly shows that the common human female ancestor of us all (biblical Eve) lived within the biblical timeframe of several thousand years ago."

It is great to see a defense of creation science from scientists who see the reality of creation and all the holes in evolution theory. Denial of an intelligent designer is a great leap into random chance.
