Radioactive Isotope Dating and Evolution: A New Religion of Modern Man Under the Mask of Science

                    In today’s intellectual society, the name "science" has become a kind of sanctuary. In particular, the span of "hundreds of millions of years" or the "theory of evolution" mentioned when dealing with human origins reigns like absolute truths that one must not dare to doubt. However, we must face the reality that these chronological figures, which we believe to be facts unquestionably, are actually the products of precarious "assumptions" built on sand. Is what we believe truly an objective fact, or is it a sophisticated belief packaged in the name of science?

                    Radioactive isotope dating, commonly used today, is by no means a time machine that directly shows the past. It is merely a "calculation model" that infers the past based on the ratios of elements remaining today. For this clock to be accurate, essential prerequisites must be met: the initial state must be perfectly known, there must have been no inflow or outflow from the outside, and the rate of decay must have been the same in the past as it is now.

                    This means that time was calculated under the assumption that it remains constant, unaffected by environments such as temperature or pressure. And yet, the absurd mistake of accepting these calculations as facts has been committed.

                    However, what do the frequent cases where freshly erupted lava is measured as rocks millions of years old, or the discovery of carbon-14 and elastic vascular tissue in dinosaur bones said to be 65 million years old tell us? Considering the principles of biological decay, these are powerful pieces of evidence indicating that dinosaurs coexisted with humans in the era of BC. Nevertheless, mainstream academia dismisses this as contamination and ignores it to defend their own "assumptions."

                    At this point, we must ask coldly: Why do people accept age calculations built on such flimsy assumptions as immutable facts? At the core lies the modern religion known as the "theory of evolution." Evolution is not a law proven by observation and experiment. No one has ever seen or reproduced macroevolution—the idea that a single cell became a human. It is merely a belief system that brainwashes people into thinking the impossible is possible by injecting the imaginary time of "hundreds of millions of years."

                    Today, evolution exhibits a dogmatic attitude that does not allow criticism, often branding scholars who present traces of creation with the stigma of "unscientific." To believe that DNA, which contains intelligent information, originated by chance requires a much more blind faith than acknowledging the Creator, God. Evolution has now moved beyond a theory to become a massive religious paradigm spreading atheism.

                    In Job 41, God personally spoke of the "Leviathan." It was not an imaginary monster created by man. It was a creature that actually existed, whose overwhelming majesty forced Job to tremble in fear. While fire does not come out of a crocodile's mouth, the Bible vividly records that torches come out of the Leviathan’s mouth and sparks of fire leap forth.

                    The figures of dinosaurs appearing in cave paintings around the world prove that humanity witnessed them firsthand. Humans have written the myth of "hundreds of millions of years" to place themselves above the Creator, but the vivid soft tissues of dinosaurs found in the ground and the written Word of God expose the fiction of that myth.

                    Ultimately, it is foolish to believe that dates measured under uncertain assumptions, rather than certain facts, are absolute truths. It is a tragedy that even among pastors in the ministry, there are those who believe these calculations to be the truth.

                    We must now choose: Will we worship the "theories" of man, which are revised and overturned with the times, or will we kneel humbly before the authority of God, who manifested in the whirlwind and personally declared the design specifications of all creation? Let us not forget that truth lies not in human assumptions, but in the unchanging Word of the Creator.
