Does the New Scientific Evidence about the Origin of Life Put an End to Darwinian Evolution?
By John Ankerberg and Stephen Meyer
()
About this ebook
Dr. Meyer will show you what scientists have found in the human cell and its implications for how life originated. This series shows why the possibility of one human cell coming into existence by natural selection is simply impossible, and explains how scientists are being forced to consider that the complex information and intricate design in the cell can only point to an outside intelligent designer, namely God.

Introduction
Welcome to the Does the New Scientific Evidence about the Origin of Life Put an End to Darwinian Evolution? Study Guide! This small group curriculum was developed to answer the difficult questions regarding the origin of human life, and how to understand the information from modern science in relationship to what is revealed in the Bible’s account of the creation of life.
Is the best explanation for human life the theory of Darwinian evolution? If not, what does the best evidence reveal? In this series, we learn from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, co-founder of the Intelligent Design movement and bestselling author of Signature in the Cell, as we investigate this critical topic.
We look forward to how this study will help you both better understand your own Christian faith and how it will help you in sharing your faith with others. Through it, we hope you will be better able to contend for the faith (Jude 3) as well as to show Christ’s love to those in need.
This study guide was created to use with our videos available as M4Vs or DVDs at: https://www.jashow.org/resources/does-the-new-scientific-evidence-about-the-origin-of-life-put-an-end-to-darwinian-evolution-study-guide.html. We have also included the links to our online transcripts for each of the programs in this study guide.
For Your Group
This specific study guide is uniquely designed to help provide an opportunity to hear on a unique issue influencing our world. We encourage group discussion, with groups of no more than twelve in size, or to divide larger classes into smaller groups for a portion of each study to discuss questions. Group leaders (or table leaders in larger groups) are responsible to direct each meeting, prepare for each session’s study time, build relationships with group members, and seek to involve each person in a meaningful manner. Through this personalized combination of quality teaching and interactive discussion, we have designed each session to provide an educational and life-changing experience for each person involved.
How to Use This Guide
Interact
At the start of each session is a brief summary of the session along with a couple of opening questions related to the topic. Each group will want to discuss this material together before watching the DVD. This Getting Started
section is written to prompt discussion, surfacing the difficult questions the DVD will later answer. Each person should feel free to share their perspective on this segment as time allows, providing a variety of viewpoints before watching the teaching material.
Watch
Next, each session includes watching a video segment of approximately 20 minutes in length. The DVD should be prepared and cued ahead of time to maximize the group’s time together [HINT: If meeting in a public venue or are simply meeting in a location that requires you to be mobile, you can cue the DVD using a laptop computer, a portable DVD player, or even purchase the downloadable version of the series for your computer or mobile device.]. Though you are encouraged to comment during the episode
