In an industrial accident, a piece of flying metal severed a nerve in a young man’s shoulder. It left an otherwise perfect arm hanging worse than useless, in a disconnected course with the rest of the body. It became a burden to the rest of the body, severed from communication with the brain.

From this illustration, I am proposing that the acceptance of evolutionary dogma is a disconnect from our divinely created origin. Thus we discard God’s Law to embrace shameful and destructive behaviors. We reject God, only to lose our way, mired in problems that destroy our peace and threaten our existence.

The damage is widespread. In the past century, prominent clergymen and mainline denominations confidently accepted the Darwinist theory of evolution. This philosophy imposed on impressionable minds, in schools and churches, is that people are accidental products of chance. The results clearly show that this devaluing of humanity has produced devastating losses of integrity and morality.

We learn from the lesson of the useless arm yet another reason. From it, we can show that evolution is scientifically impossible. Darwinism is a futile attempt to displace the Creator God with nothing.

To proceed with this claim, we must first understand that there are two separate systems in our existence, functioning perfectly as one.

The first is the dynamic of being alive. Greek philosophers referred to this as Logos. Logos is the living soul. Logos is the center of consciousness, intelligence, and reason. It is key to all instruction and understanding.

The second system is sarco, also from Greek, which means flesh. This is the physical body. It is the exactly matched host of Logos. A mismatch would be worse than useless. In fact, the incompatible “operating systems” between animal species rule out random selection and survival of the fittest as tools for the development of new species.

In this discussion, I will use the term sarco interchangeably with the physical body and also in illustrations of inanimate objects that play host to information. I will use Logos as a proper noun to refer to life, information, or intelligence, and consciousness.

We can illustrate Logos and sarco with the letters of the English alphabet. You could do one of two things. First, you could try to lay them out in order blindfolded. But as with ink in a pen, communication flows only from an intelligent mind. Without guiding intelligence, a word laid down by chance conveys nothing. (Call it a false positive.) The silly argument that a monkey randomly hitting typewriter keys over eons of years, would finally produce something meaningful, is folly. The communication of genuine Logos is only from an intelligent host to a recipient with a compatible system. The monkey question might as well be-how many million years would it take a solitary monkey to learn to speak only in perfect English?

A second option would be to rearrange those letters to convey an intentional message. For this illustration, the letters represent sarco and the arrangement represents the work of Logos. The letters are mere carriers of messages. There is no point in examining individual letters under a microscope. There is no inherent Logos in them. This would be like doing an autopsy on a human brain to recover the person’s last words, or taking a computer apart in search of a password.

Closer examination reveals that Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” as the mechanism of an evolutionary climb is not merely dead on arrival. It never arrives at all. Why? Because randomness has no communication with Logos. Survival works for what is already fit. It works because all the ancestors of things alive today were fit from day one. From the beginning, all animals and plants descended from ready-to-order adults. Development from DNA is confined to information already present. Randomness is like the arm without the vital nerve connection to receive intelligence from the brain. This “survival” theory is as sound as expecting a headlight to command the evolution of a battery, complete with wiring and switches to make the light functional.

Even the headlight and the alphabet were patented by intelligence (Logos), not by random chance. Millions of years of random ink spills do not make an alphabet. Even so, any imagined gain of information is quickly obliterated by the next random splash of ink.

The theorizing of many scientists along strictly materialistic lines, blinds them to the backward, unscientific nature of the evolutionary model. The science of biogenesis (science of living things), is that only life begets life. To claim that a random assembly of chemicals could beget Logos is the antithesis of science.

On the other hand, to claim that life on earth must spring from the preexisting, living God (Logos), is more than a religious statement. It is a statement compatible with true science. Evolutionary dogma bravely attempts to track human development through reptiles, birds, fish, and ape-men, even though the operating systems are incompatible.

A physical chain of evolutionary development (amoeba to man), would require a double evolution of Logos and sarco, with Logos leading the way. This fits the science of DNA perfectly, but runs off the radar of evolutionary probability.

For example, the intelligent design of a birds hollow wing structure and intricate feathers must lead the way in the development of the wing. But, the bird needs more than the sarco (the physical body and capacity to fly). It must have specialized, distinct, bird-only information, perfectly matched to what its sarco can support. Bird Logos covers a myriad of birds-only distinctions. Along with bird sarco, it includes migration patterns, birdsong, nest building, and what and how to feed its young.

So when did the “ancestor” reptiles start singing, migrating, and building nests? It is not enough for a mouse to develop bat wings. With mouse Logos, wings would hang uselessly. The mosquito must not only have the complex equipment to draw blood. It must also have the Logos to use it. Evolution would leave us with creatures hopelessly trying to use equipment they no longer have, or having equipment they don’t know how to use.

The understanding of Logos and sarco also clarifies other confusing issues. Contrary to Darwin’s day, we now know that there are no simple forms of life. Every form of life, even if microscopic, is complex beyond comprehension. What we have is a vast array of living forms, every one fit to survive. All have unique aspects in their operating systems. These are barriers science cannot span. If you thought that man is the pinnacle of evolution, remember, there are millions of things that a man cannot do. This is not lost abilities. God did not encode man with spider Logos, to spin a spider’s web, or with chicken Logos, to lay a chicken’s eggs, nor with monkey Logos,to swing through jungle trees.

The fallacy of the evolution of man from the primitive into higher races, obviously yields a darker side, that of primitive men and inferior races. Though polite society has muted prejudice against Australian aborigines and blacks, racism is both the native and natural fruit of the evolutionary tree.

The information highway of Logos to sarco is evidence for an infinitely wise and powerful Logos. Interestingly, God inspired the writer of John 1:1-4 to choose the word Logos to describe none other than Jesus Christ as Creator God. “In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him.”

Like a bird losing its nesting or navigational skills, humanity, cut off from God by evolutionary dogma, loses both purpose and moral compass. Such a culture selfdestructs, severed from the life-giving Logos which is God.

The clergy and church should never have capitulated to theories conceived in scientific dark ages, and hatched in agnosticism. If we are anchored to the love of truth, beginning with the Genesis Creation model, we can also know the reality of the love of God and the abundant life in Jesus Christ.
