God's Cops

By James Estrada and Willie Newkirk Jr.

First lets look at the Hoyle comparison: a typical Boeing 747-400 has about 6 million parts.
The typical human genome is an organisms complete set of DNA. Genomes vary widely in size: the smallest known genome for a free-living organism (a bacterium) contains about 600,000 DNA base pairs, while human and mouse genomes have some 3 billion. Except for mature red blood cells, all human cells contain a complete genome. DNA in the human genome is arranged into 23 distinct chromosomes--physically separate molecules that range in length from about 50 million to 250 million base pairs (Unknown, 2011). Lets say despite the fact that people have three billion base pairs that are aligned perfectly and a 747 is only 6 million parts, but for purposes of this discussion lets say that we are only as complex as the 747. OK, here is the problem: first, a 747 was designed, without designers and builders there would be no 747. Remember the analogy I gave of removing the distributor cap from a car and throwing it at the engine and then expecting it to run?
You and I have consciousness and we can build a 747. A 747 does not have consciousness and cant build a human. In fact, we are far more sophisticated than a 747 and we cant build a human from the ground up yet. Now detractors would say of course you can build a 747 because you have many more parts that comprise you that make you and you are an intelligent being. All true making me more complex than a 747 and thus more likely to have been designed than the 747, and we all know the 747 was designed. Not just designed by someone in a garage to get us by, engineered to stringent standards taking into account all the forces, stresses and elements it was going to encounter on Earth. Now remember: you are expected to believe that this thing (the 747) that was engineered and is less sophisticated than you are came about by engineering, but you who is realistically at least eight times more complex came about by random chance and mutation. Has anybody ever seen a Cessna randomly mutate into a 747? If we go around randomly killing Cessnas, will they mutate into F-18s so they can get away or fight back? You can argue faster Cessnas might survive more often than slower Cessnas but they are all still Cessnas. However, the faster Cessnas will only survive if they are piloted by people. Further, if we squeeze more and more people into the Cessna that still wont make it a 747.
The Earth is covered over by 75% water. Why not 30%? Why not 100%? Because of the
oceans we have are perfect amount of salt to produce the right amount of rainfall, otherwise Earth would either be a desert or a water world. The Earth is covered by salt water over the majority of its surface, water that is undrinkable to humans. Were it not for the formation of vast amounts of freshwater, we would not be here. Why is there any freshwater? Why isnt it all freshwater? The Earths composition allows for human life to survive in every location upon it naturally with the exception of Antarctica. Remember one thing from the first time you boiled water: salt water freezes at a lower temperature and boils at a lower temperature. This means salt water evaporates at a lower temperature. If the oceans were all fresh water there would be a lot less water vapor in the air and less rain. In order to have more water vapor in a world with freshwater oceans you would need more of it to be exposed to the sun, which means more of the planet would need to be water. It seems we have just the right balance of salt water and salinity of that salt water to make rain, and just the right balance of freshwater to survive.
The Earth might well roll around on its axis but for a single large moon to stabilize its orbit and provide tidal changes. If the oceans had been bigger the tidal effect would have been greater and much of the life that relies on tides would not exist. The Earth has an atmosphere that protects us from radiation and keeps

Introduction by James Estrada

I CAN’T REMEMBER a time when I didn’t want to be a cop. There were other things I wanted to be in addition to being a cop, an Astronaut, a Navy Pilot, but my lifetime profession after everything else was going to be that I was going to be a cop. This is something that I wanted to do from the time I saw my first episode of Adam-12 that I watched with my grandmother, and even though we were poor there was always chocolate chip ice cream on Adam-12 night… big score! What other job could anyone want for life? You get to drive around in a cool fast car, help people and get paid for it. The guys in Adam-12 made it look easy, they arrested 3 bad guys in 30 minutes and still had time for lunch. Sign me up!

Lots of things have changed since 1970: Grandma has passed (still love you Grandma, and I wish you could have met Ileana), designer ice creams came along and I never eat chocolate chip anymore and Adam-12 while nostalgic, a great show and loveable is not Law and Order, CSI or Cops. I was lacking a degree in aeronautical engineering due to bad math and my eyes were not good enough to fly planes in the Navy so in the end I joined the Marine Corps. In a half a lifetimes worth of changes, and facing realities that crushed dreams into hopeless oblivion I never stopped wanting to be a cop, and the more that was required and the more intense it became the harder I have worked and the more I liked it. It was like going to the higher levels of a video game, it is more and more challenging by the day.

About 200 years ago people could read the poem the Iliad by Homer and say what wonderful poetry it was because it was all fictitious because there was no city of Troy that anybody knew about. Then Heinrich Schliemann went to an old Roman city that was in about the right place and started digging and there was Troy. Well, there were detractors, people that said while it might be near the right place it wasn’t Troy. Then some tablets were found in the Hittites foreign office and guess what, they had a treaty with what they called Wilusa (which was one of Homer’s names for Troy) and it was a medium power that called upon the Hittites for help when they were attacked by the Achaeans (Mycenaean Greeks, what they called Achaeawa). What was a poem and a myth was suddenly true, on some level. We know Paris existed from the tablets, and that Troy was wiped out but that is about it. We have independent verification of Paris’ existence by the Egyptians and that he was at the battle of Kadesh in 1274 B.C.

Don’t believe those that would tell you your theory or belief is wrong that cannot prove their own that is contrary to yours. Had Schliemann listened to those people, Troy would still be a myth. I use the Schliemann—Troy example for a purpose: Schliemann was an amateur archeologist and the college professor professionals were telling him otherwise. We as a society hold professionals in high regard, and many amateurs in disdain for being… well… amateurs.

Willie Newkirk (Butch to those that know him and love him) and I are not Scientists, Nuclear Physicists, Cosmologists, Geologists, Genetic Engineers or Biologists, we are cops. Albeit excessively educated cops, but cops nonetheless. This means we know how to ask questions and assemble evidence and build cases; and we are going to make a case for you, the jury and you can believe it and choose convict God of creating the universe and everything in it, or not, that is up to you, the juror. We are nothing more than the presenters of facts.

The purpose of this book is to see if a couple of cops can get a sufficient amount of evidence in your eyes to convict God of the act of creating the universe and everything in it. We will use evidence from the sciences of Cosmology, Nuclear Physics, Evolutionism, Geology and Biology. We will interview and interrogate experts in the various fields as expert witnesses based upon written and video works and that you can verify, and then build a case for the conviction and ultimately you the reader will be the judge.

Many books are written in a way where they expect to show you a reference in their book and you to either take their word for what the reference author said or go out and buy the book. We have taken a slightly differing approach most of the material in this book will be material you can access through Google books or an online library that it open to the general public. We are not expecting you to go out and buy expensive books, particularly when so many of them are wrong. We submit the evidence and you are the jury.

Introduction by Willie G. Newkirk Jr. Butch

After consulting with my great friend and co-author James Estrada we decided if we were going to put together this book God’s Cops, then one of the most important things we should convey to the reader is our background and how our beliefs and family upbringing was molded into us to make us who we are today. It is our hopes that our readers can better identify, or not with the authors depending on the evidence presented.

I can remember a time when I wanted to be everything but a cop until I joined the Military Police. Born in 1955, I spent the first eleven years of my life growing up in the country, in the very small town of Conyers, Georgia not so small today because it is now part of the Atlanta expansion. We lived about six miles from town on an old dirt road in a shotgun house which is a house where you can see from the front door to the back door and it came with the standard cracks between the floor boards that were covered with some linoleum my dad had found and an old rug. Along with this house came a fresh water spring for hauling water for drinking, baths and yes, we had an outhouse.

I had one friend Kenny Moore, who lived about a mile from me and my days were spent with him and my cousin David playing army, cowboys or whatever we devised to remain entertained. Most of our time was consumed in the woods playing after school and in the summer from sun up to sundown not even stopping to eat. There was plenty for us to do including cutting a vine to swing across deep gullies, crawling inside huge holes that we would dig into a bank of Georgia red clay or swimming in deep granite holes that were filled with water in the miles of granite that was available to us in the woods. This would not be acceptable for any of my grandchildren today especially leaving at sun up and not coming home until dark.

Each one of these things could have killed us but as I would find out from my family of three sisters and a brother that were raised by a mother and dad that believed God controls your life and what happens to you is that we are here for a reason and would remain until it was our time to die. Also our family believed that if you followed God’s word and the Bible everything would work out and be fine, but it was guaranteed from our mama that it would not be an easy road, (Thank you God for allowing me to make it during those days and the years that followed and not letting me and my buddies die from a cave in, a high fall from a vine, or drowning).

Later in life I would find that the prayers that my mom said with us at night before going to sleep would resurface later in life at the most opportune times when I needed comfort in times of sorrow or to make the right decision which to me is, always do what is right and you can’t go wrong. A good rule here is to think, If your mama was watching you, would you do what you are about to do. (Author unknown, but the way it sounds it had to be a wise person.)

A Move that Changed My Life

In 1967 we moved to Gainesville, Georgia and the only ones left were my dad, mom, me and my brother, the sisters had long since married and left. The 1950s and 1960s were all about family and role models, not so much today. I feel the need to mention a few role models other than my parents that were instrumental in who I am today. 1969 was a big year for me; I grew to 6’4", and weighed about 220 and found football in the 8th grade at Gainesville Mill Elementary and played for a team that never got scored on until we played the all-stars to a tie at the end of the year. The reason this was possible was Coach Jerry Carpenter. Jerry would keep me after practice working on punting and other important team fundamentals but most importantly during these sessions we would just talk about family and what I was going to do with my life. I spent Sundays watching football with him when he came to his relative’s house in Gainesville Mill.

The next year I entered High School and the South Hall football program that was headed up by Coach Phil Carpenter and yes that is Jerry’s brother. Phil was a high energy, get-it-done coach who loved every one of his players and like Jerry he played a vital part in molding me with a solid out-of-home support system. Phil transferred to Norcross High School and helped locate work for my father so I could move with him and play ball which occurred during my teenage fatherhood time. I was blessed with the birth of my daughter Candace Michelle and her birth was the only time that I can recall that I have ever passed out, hit the floor, boom! I was trying to stay with family to be with Candace and would ride to school and back with Phil from Gainesville to Norcross in a 1972 model Volkswagen. Today Phil is a pastor in Gainesville and Jerry is retired. It is rare to find individuals such as these two men that take time out of their busy lives with work and their families to connect with a kid in such a way that it helps them in choosing a direction for the right life choices.

There comes a point in a person’s life when they must choose the road in which they travel. Pick the wrong road and it is a life of staying out of trouble and jail or the road that helps develop you into a productive citizen. Lacking the education to become a highly paid civilian worker, the United States Army Military Police sounded like the ideal job for nothing more than thinking it would be cool to do and a shock to some of my old buddies from school. And as I said early on, I had to choose a life road. The life in metro Atlanta in the early seventies was that of partying and classic rock, one that I would have taken if it had not been for incredibly great parents and Jerry and Phil Carpenter. Thank God for a wonderful loving mom and dad that encouraged doing the right thing.

When I became a Military Police Officer for the 515th Military Police Company commanded by Captain Thomas Hogan III a dedicated law enforcement officer and a close friend, was the time I started wanting to make law enforcement my career. Like James a lot of things have changed since the seventies for me also. The loss of my mom and dad was hard for me but knowing I will see them again makes the difference; three marriages the third time was a charm (I love you Sheryl), great children, and eight beautiful grandchildren. There are things I have grown to despise such as police television shows. As James’ example noted, the two-men squad of Adam-12 arrested three perpetrators and had lunch in one 30-minute show, a feat in itself, but has been replaced today with television detectives that respond to the scene and look around while CSI collects the evidence, and ten minutes later the CSI team produces enough information that gives the detectives a DNA match, a suspect, his address, prior convictions, dating status, who they are hanging out with, their favorite foods, movies, and several other things.

From this, an arrest is made, most of the time not getting a confession, but on the same show convict the perpetrator in a trial. Just give me Hill Street Blues and the Choirboys please. Since both of these have long since been covered in dust I have found myself not really caring about the new television cops and shows. So, let James and I put our law enforcement experience together and provide evidence sufficient enough in our readers’ eyes to convict God of the act of creating the universe and everything in it. In this case I feel the preponderance of the evidence may be enough but who knows maybe beyond a reasonable doubt will be accomplished for this conviction but in the end, only you as the juror can decide.

One Police Officer, One Deputy Sheriff and One Suspect, who is suspected of creating the universe and everything in it… God.

STATEMENT OF FACT

I WANTED TO tell everybody that the intent of this book is not to strictly advocate our ideas or concepts. We are not here to write books on Astronomy (get the book or watch Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards The Privileged Planet) or write books on Biology (get Behe’s Darwin’s Black Box) or Evolution (get Jonathan Wells Icons of Evolution and Berlinski’s Deniable Darwin & Other Essays). We are not qualified to tell you about those subjects in depth when compared to those gentlemen. I refer you to those gentlemen not because of their outlook on things but rather because of their writing style. If you read a book by Behe, Gonzalez, Berlinski or Wells you are reading a book that is understandable to most people with High School reading abilities and beyond. Nobody is trying to throw a fastball past you with big words or unexplained concepts that require a Master’s Degree level concept of Biology, Math or Astronomy. You are getting their argument in a clear understandable form for everyone, and you can foster your agreements or disagreements because you clearly understand what they have told you. They are explaining things by a means which most can understand them and teaching you why their arguments are sound and doing clear analysis as to why others are not as sound and allowing you to formulate your own opinion and argument as to if they have made their case because you understand them. That is what constitutes academia, a healthy debate where all concerned learn.

We are not trying to turn you on to their ideas; that is their job, we are trying to make you understand the basics of the argument and that is where the people that advocate Darwin fall short. It seems almost as if they don’t want you to understand the argument and that you are just supposed to take their word for it. We heartily disagree with that perspective which is why this book is being written in language as simple as possible; to be inclusive, to get everyone in on the debate.

In order to argue the plausibility of an idea you must understand the idea intimately. The idea must be clear enough to formulate a challenging question that is observable, reportable and can be created in a large enough model size with reproducible results (we will explain all this in depth later). We are here to discuss Philosophy and the philosophical reasons Darwinism fails, and that existence on Earth has been engineered. We are here to offer theories as to why most Darwinists refuse any evidence of a young Earth and Creation despite the overwhelming evidence that is stacking up in the favor of an engineered existence and how many are reacting to the statistically higher and higher probability that life on Earth was engineered. We are here to make you think and apply your thought. We don’t want you to think about what is fair or what you think is right; we want you to think about the applications of your ideas and why they will work and if they won’t why they won’t. We want you to be able to reason your way through theories and understand the realistic probabilities of something happening and determine which theory is correct and why it is correct using critical thinking.

We want you to learn how to ask hard ugly cop questions that will either stump them or point out the weaknesses in their argument, or reveal the weaknesses in your argument. We are here in good nature, with no vitriol to argue the impracticalities, improbabilities and impossibilities of theories that have been set forward as facts in grade school through high school books for years.

I think that was the single biggest driving factor is that we were told for years Darwinism was a fact and when I reached the Ph.D. level of education and I learned to critically think I understood how unfact-like Darwinism was. My training as a cop taught me that I could ask difficult questions and watch the reaction of others to those questions and come to an understanding of what was going on. I have watched interviews with Richard Dawkins and I sincerely believe he is defending something that he does not statistically believe in. I believe he knows exactly how unlikely Darwinism is but it is a good paycheck.

We are here to make you think, and think critically and ask ugly cop questions. Contrary to what many defense lawyers think, a thinking jury is a good jury.

CHAPTER 1

EVOLUTION

F ROM THE TIME I was taught about Darwin’s theory of evolution, I was having trouble with it. I was not having trouble understanding it; I was having trouble believing it. We are all descended from cells and creatures that crawled out of the sea and essentially I am the cousin of the horse, and great grandpa was a monkey. Now that I am near a Ph.D., I am having real problems with it, having learned analytical critical thinking on the doctoral level, I see the theory with more problems than ever. The more educated I become the worse the problems with it are. One of the disciplines learned at the Master’s level and above is to ask questions and look for the logic in the answer. Just because an answer is bad does not mean the theory is bad, what it may mean is that the person defending the theory is not making the best case for it. This is why we are going to look to the best and brightest to get answers to questions. We don’t want
