True Wisdom in True Science
Astronomy and the Laws of Physics
Danny R. Faulkner, PhD who earned graduate degrees in physics and astronomy and taught at the University of South Carolina Lancaster for over 26 years said in one his lectures :“The God issue is not an intellectual one but rather one issue of the heart”.
Indeed, despite the FACT that we have all the evidence to show that a Creator, The God of the Bible was the originator of life, it is self-evident that, “The God issue is not an intellectual one but rather one issue of the heart”.
Psalms 14:1 says it gently but decisively. “ The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
Let us teach our children the wisdom from above, the God like wisdom that will make them successful and respectful citizens of a non- God like world.
That is why the Bible encourages, "You shall teach them to your sons (and daughters, italic ours), talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. "You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates”. Deuteronomy 11:19,20
Does this sound like the majority of our teaching must take place from home? Even, if circumstance demand we have to send our children to public schools, our home teaching moments must be based on the best textbook ever written, the Bible.
Home-Schooling or home training in a Godly way is the answer. Heb 4:12
We are doing fine by teaching our children God's Wisdom and true Science at home (home schooling) in a way that never contradicts the Bible - the most reliable textbook.
The Truth we teach is that Life's origin and its intricate mechanisms are evident in the Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Genetics, Biology, Geology, the human cell and its miraculous DNA structure. That all of this is the product of an Intelligent person, A Creator.
Chemistry with its orderly Table of Elements points to an intelligent creator, inventor, originator. It is predictable not chaotic as "evolution" demands over "millions of years".
Order does not come from disorder. Thermodynamics 2nd law does not change for evolutionists. Neither do Entropy laws change over millions of years. They are both laws that support Creation, not "evolution".
We are going from order to disorder, (in a closed or open system) not the contrary as "evolutionists" want to trick us into believing.
"There are no known violations of the second law of thermodynamics. Ordinarily the second law is stated for isolated systems, but the second law applies equally well to open systems", Dr John Ross of Harvard University

Every Finger Print is Unique
Astronomy, Galaxies and the Stars
Physics with its orderly laws apply both to the micro and to macro creation. Atoms and Solar systems all point to the same Mind, the same Creator.

"Simple models show electrons orbiting the nuclear in a near-circular orbit, like planets orbiting a star, but real behavior is much more complex" https://www.thoughtco.com/basic-model-of-the-atom-603799
Astronomy points to a brilliant omniscient, all Powerful Creator. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth.
"There are 5 to 10 times more stars than there are grains of sand on all the world’s beaches". https://www.universetoday.com/106725/are-there-more-grains-of-sand-than-stars/
Would you trust someone who teaches your children that all of these things came about from nothing? That there is no similarity or no commonality?
Would you trust your children being deceived into thinking that their future lies on waiting, if they can only wait a few millions of years to succeed?
We do not trust "evolutionists" with the teaching and training of your children. They do not teach logic. They teach rhetoric and made up stories.
Would you trust less informed teachers, even well meaning instructors with Ph.D's to educate your children with hypothesis, theories and fables that took place "millions of years ago", instead of true science that teaches that all things are the products of laws and consequence of someone's work, from an INTELLIGENT originator?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Newton's Third Law of Physics.). God is the First Action that created all things. He is the First Source of energy. Energy can never be destroyed or created, it can only be exchanged. God's energy is the source of all Humans and all living creatures.
Would you trust a system and their educators that indoctrinate our children that their work and their ULTIMATE success depends on chance. That perhaps after innumerable tries, they may just succeed just as man's arrival to the world took place over "millions and millions of years"?
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments" Proverbs 14:8
"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+6%3A7&version=NKJV
Thus, “From all the money and time lavished on the ...(many) ‘Evolution’ series (and teachings), major articles in science journals, and political campaigns to keep teachers from presenting alternatives to evolution in schools, it is evident that the evolutionists fear the increasing spread of creationist information, despite their best efforts at censorship”.
They "are desperate to counteract this information. But their efforts don’t withstand (True) scientific scrutiny, and in the end any reasonable observer would have to admit that evolution is a deduction from a materialistic belief system.
It is philosophy/religion dressed up as ‘science.” http://creation.com/refuting-evolution-2-chapter-12-argument-evolution-of-mankind. (italics,ours)
"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” 1Cor 3:19
We heartily hope this essay will help homeschooling and all parents with the encouragement needed to understand and defend the biblical record of a full human creation, thus fending off the pseudo-science of theistic and atheistic evolution.
Home schooling is the best avenue to teach honesty, truth and facts. If home schooling is not possible, then home based Biblical education is the next best path.

Conclusion
We conclude our essay with the following statement by Dr. Nathaniel T. Jeanson and Jeffrey P. Tomkins:
“If evolutionists want to be taken seriously in the origins debate, then they need to do more than make an isolated claim about an obscure species here and there that shows nothing but shifts in existing genetic variation or an isolated benefit due to the loss of genetic information.
Instead, they need to give us a comprehensive model, a falsifiable explanation that accounts for the genetics of all species alive today. Science demands no less.” https://answersingenesis.org/creation-scientists/mainstream-scientific-literature-ignore-young-earth-conclusions/
Therefore, we remain committed to true science and research as the beginning of this article forcefully stood for.
The laws of Thermodynamics require order instead of chance (First and Second Law).
On their own they defend an orderly fully formed Living Person (Not a Cell ) at the time of Creation in Genesis Account.

Table 2. Factually erroneous evolutionary claims about human-primate ancestry
Evolutionary ClaimActual Data Human-chimpanzee genetic identity is 98-99% Actual genetic identity is only 88% (i.e., 400,000,000 DNA differences exist between the two species) Humans are genetically closer to apes than to other animal species, unequivocally demonstrating common ancestry Relative hierarchies are characteristics of design Human chromosome #2 arose via fusion of two ape-like chromosomes
The purported “fusion” site is actually a functional DNA element in a human gene
Gene order along chromosomes has no function, therefore shared gene order demonstrates common ancestryGene order along chromosomes does indeed perform a function Humans and chimpanzees shared genetic mistakes (e.g., pseudogenes)
Pseudogenes appear to be functional DNA elements, not mistakesHumans possess the broken remnants of an ancient chicken gene (vitellogenin) No such remnant exists; instead the “fragment” appears to be a functional DNA element
Additional Refences
"Fuzzy words." Words that evolutionists typically use when they have no observable evidence to support their claims. (Mike Riddle)“In a recent issue of Science News magazine, for example, we find the first fuzzy words in the article's title: "Bubbles may have sheltered early life." Did you spot it? Yes, it's the phrase "may have."
In the second paragraph, we read: "Such a snug hideout could have shielded microbes from ultraviolet radiation." Right – the words "could have".
In the next paragraph, a geologist is quoted as saying that the work is "very plausible" – another way of getting you to accept the scientist's wishful thinking.
In the remaining paragraphs, we find two more "could haves", a "may have", a "perhaps", a "might have" and two instances of "appeared to be".
"If microbes survived in these pockets on early Earth, they could potentially have done so on other planets such as Mars.
"The words "if" and "potentially" should have set off the critical thinking alarm bells in our minds.
Contrary to this “story-telling” approach, the Bible avoids fuzzy words and phrases. “The Bible doesn't try to trick or deceive us. Its words are true because its Author is Truth and His words endure forever.”

Darwinists Answer "Ten Questions" with Evasions and Falsehoods
- Discovery Institute- January 15, 2002
"The NCSE introduces its answers to my Ten Questions by calling many of my claims "incorrect or misleading," and by maintaining that they are "intended only to create unwarranted doubts in students' minds about the validity of evolution as good science." The evasions and falsehoods listed above, however, make it clear that it is the NCSE's answers that are incorrect or misleading. If students have doubts about the scientific validity of evolution, their doubts are amply warranted not only by the systematic pattern of misrepresentations in biology textbooks, but also by the false and evasive statements the NCSE makes in defense of those misrepresentations.
Good science is the search for truth, and it searches for truth by comparing theories with the evidence. A good science education should present the evidence truthfully--especially the evidence for and against a theory as influential as Darwin's. Yet biology textbooks invariably present this evidence with a pro-Darwin spin, indoctrinating students rather than educating them. It seems that the National Center for Science Education, despite its title, wants students to inherit the spin". http://www.discovery.org/a/1106
