Old-Earth Creationism

• Old-Earth Creationism
  • Is a world-view based on the following concepts
    • God exists.
    • The universe was created about 14 billion years ago (by God).
      • The physical constants and laws of this universe were fine-tuned by God to enable intelligent life to exist.
    • The earth came into being about 4.5 billion years ago.
      • This occurred via a process that was ultimately created by God.
    • Micro-evolution is a Fact.
      • Micro-evolution is adaptation of creatures to their environment.
      • Such adaptation can result in low-level speciation.
      • Examples of micro-evolution include
        • industrial melanism in peppered moths (micro-evolution)
        • beak-size changes in Finches (micro-evolution)
        • mutant wings in fruit flies (micro-evolution)
        • antibiotic resistance in bacteria (nano-evolution)
        • mutational changes in viruses (pico-evolution)
        • low-level speciation in gulls (milli-evolution)
        • low-level speciation in horse genus (milli-evolution)
        • breeding of varieties of dogs (micro-evolution)
        • breeding of varieties of pigeons (micro-evolution)
        • formation of different races among humans (micro-evolution)
        • etc.
      • In the proposed system above, micro-evolution is subdivided into
        • pico-evolution
        • nano-evolution
        • micro-evolution
        • milli-evolution
    • Naturalistic (atheistic) Mega-evolution is not a Fact, but rather is a faith-based Naturalistic (Atheistic) Theory.
    • Mega-evolution required intelligent design by God.
      • Mega-evolution, as defined here, involves formation of completely new organs and completely new body-plans.
      • Mega-evolution requires punctuational information input that is equal to or greater than the universal-information-constant (UIC).
        • UIC is the information-content that corresponds to the universal-probability-bound (UPB).
        • A reasonable estimate for the UPB is 10^-150.
        • This results in a UIC of 500 bits of information.
          • 10^-150 corresonds to about 498 bits; We round this up to 500.
      • We are intentionally not using the term Macro-Evolution because the term has become confused with low-level speciation.
      • Low-level speciation is not the same as formation of completly new body-plans and/or formation of completely new organs.
        • There is a need for new scientific terms that capture these concepts.
        • Here is a possible proposal...
        • Neo-Phlyo-Poeisis = formation of completely new body-plans.
          • Not to be confused with phylogenesis, because the term has been muddied in the scientific literature.
        • Neo-Organo-Poeisis = formation of completely new functioning organs.
      • God provided the information and immediate-process needed for Creation of First Life.
      • God provided the information and immediate-process needed for creation of the various completly-new body-plans and completely-new organs of creatures.
