The Death of Evolution

The following story is from the book The Death of Evolution by Jim Nelson Black. I've heard many stories like it, but never including someone as prestigious in the world of science as Newton (although I guess I am assuming it is THE Newton)!!

I can't make a convincing argument for creation, but I think I can point out significant flaws in evolution (other than just this one)!

One day a colleague who did not believe the Bible's account of creation stopped by Newton's laboratory for a visit. When he spotted a model sitting there on a large table, he walked over for a closer look. He reached out and touched the metal rods and, like clockwork, the tiny planets began to move in well-oiled precision...


"What a magnificent machine!" he exclaimed. "My dear Newton, you must tell me: who made this amazing contraption for you?"


Newton paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nobody."


"Nobody, you say? How can that be?"


"Yes, that's right," Newton insisted. "The balls and belts and pulleys you see here came together entirely by accident, and by some unknown miracle they move along in perfect orbit just as you see them now."


At that point, the skeptic realized what Newton was saying. How foolish to think that a detailed model of the solar system could come together by accident. But how much more foolish to think that the earth, moon, and stars-and all of God's creation could come into existence by mere chance.
