Overview
10 AREAS OF CLEARLY SEEN OBJECTIVE EVIDENCE OF WHAT CAN BE KNOWN ABOUT GOD
"Eugene Glenn has delivered a marvelous interactive book filled with links and videos. The work offers a solid defense for intelligent design through the examination of many modern paradigms within modern Naturalistic theories that are found to be misguided or perpetuated by lacking or incomplete information. The text provides a bridge between how many of us continue to erroneously believe that "science" has become hopelessly divided from biblical truths. Glenn shows that this is not the case by bringing precise clarity and scrutiny to many important topics related to Naturalism. … The book demonstrates the clarity of design throughout science by addressing many topics, from The Watchmaker's Argument to quantum physics. The argument for design is found to be undeniable.
Lastly, as a Christian, I found the book's conclusion inspiring as Glenn was a former Pastor and the final chapters bring the premise and significance of design and its implications full circle: back to The Bible. Glenn brings us back to how design can lead us to discover God's plan of Salvation. Ultimately, this is what all these debates are about because we are living through spiritual warfare. Naturalism seeks to undermine God using a false cloak called "science," it seeks to employ misinformation to steal God's act of Creation. Whether you desire sound scientific reasons to build up your faith, or perhaps you have never even considered the connection between science and God, either way, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it!"

The document "Evidence Clearly seen", is a comprehensive text discussing the relationship between evidence seen within the complexity of what is made and the corresponding level of cognitive abilities that were required to make it.
As we explore science, the author guides you on an adventure while examining the evidence using the scientific method and makes predictions to investigate how to best explain the very important questions of the origin of life and the universe. As we journey along the way, we should ask: "Are we following the evidence wherever it leads?".
This book is about origin of life from scratch. Evolution and natural selection can't be invoked for origin of life. The 2 opposing hypothesis are:
- Creation (advanced cognitive abilities, knowledge, understanding, and workmanship of an intelligent agent designer.
- Abiogenesis (spontaneous life by natural, undirected, chance processes with zero IQ. A theory in the evolution of early life on earth: organic molecules and subsequent simple life forms first originated from inorganic substances.
The author guides you through and itemizes the details of what science actually says so that you can evaluate the evidence for yourself. The journey begins by presenting the "Watchmaker's Argument" along with the contrasting "Blind Watchmaker's Argument" by Richard Dawkins.
Along the way, the author engages AI (ChatGPT) with many profoundly probing questions and deep debates. The author, focuses on the idea that the scientific method and empirical evidence can be used to make scientific predictions.
The author also seeks to stir more interest in science by highlighting how amazing it is that scientists such as James Clerk Maxwell, Einstein, Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, and Erwin Schrödinger developed astounding mathematical equations during horse and buggy days (1860 through 1930). They did so with very little in the way of technology and instrumentation.
Conclusion:
The probabilities against just one single functional protein from scratch by way of natural, undirected chance abiogenesis processes is astronomically small. Each amino acid must be placed within one angstrom of the previous one in the chain for binding. The same is true for building DNA chains without the pre-existing cellular machinery found within living cells.
Along with the chiral purity conundrum, as well as the information found within DNA that codes for the 3-D shape of proteins just as is done within 3_D printers, abiogenesis is completely impossible without the planning, knowledge, understanding, and nano technology mechanisms that can only be designed by advanced cognitive abilities of intelligent agents of human level or higher. In other words, there is no reason to believe that life arose by anything other than God.
Description
In a world where science and faith are often portrayed as irreconcilable foes, this standalone book offers a refreshing and empowering perspective. It invites readers to explore undeniable signs of divine intelligence woven into the fabric of creation. What sets this book apart is its bold fusion of cutting-edge scientific insights with timeless biblical truths, challenging the myth that Christianity opposes science. Instead, it reveals how true science illuminates God's handiwork, providing a robust defense against secular narratives that dismiss faith as outdated or irrational.
At its core, this book is a beacon of encouragement for young college students navigating intellectual doubts, as well as for Christians who feel pressured to reconcile their beliefs with popular evolutionary theories. Many are misled into thinking Christianity is "anti-science" or that evolution explains life's origins. Here, I dismantle these misconceptions with clarity and compassion, showing that evolution addresses only adaptation within species—not the genesis of life itself, which falls under abiogenesis research. By examining "evidence clearly seen" in nature and science, as inspired by Romans 1:19-20, we uncover God's invisible attributes: His eternal power and divine nature, manifest since the world's creation. As the Scripture states: "Since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse."
As a dedicated Gospel preacher, I anchor this exploration in the God of the Bible—the ultimate Creator of life and the universe. Drawing from human history, we see profound evidence: Nearly everyone worldwide recognizes that 2025 marks the years since the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, history's most influential figure. This isn't mere coincidence; it's a testament to divine intervention echoing through time. Delving deeper, we encounter breathtaking complexity at every scale: the intricate nano-meter precision required for even the simplest cellular life, the mind-boggling intricacies of quantum physics, and the vast, ordered structures of intergalactic space. These aren't random accidents but hallmarks of intelligent design, pointing unmistakably to a purposeful Creator.
What makes this book uniquely compelling is my personal journey of discovery, shared transparently to inspire others. For years, I grappled with ideas of compatibility between biblical creation and evolutionary processes. Like many, I once pondered if the six days of Genesis could symbolize vast eons, allowing for natural origins of life. After all, Scripture notes that "with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day" (2 Peter 3:8), emphasizing God's patience in granting time for repentance. Could God have engineered the universe to self-generate life without ongoing intervention?
A pivotal realization came from Genesis 2:5, which reveals that although God created plant life on Day 3, it hadn't yet sprouted by Day 6 when humanity was formed. This detail eliminates any room for millions of years—or even weeks—between those days, affirming a swift, literal creation sequence. Science aligns remarkably here: Even if provided with pre-made DNA and proteins, these components degrade rapidly within hours under natural conditions. Life couldn't emerge slowly over eons; it demands immediate assembly, just as Genesis describes.
This insight propelled me to reject any hybrid of creation and undirected natural processes. Evolution, I learned about 25 years ago, has no bearing on abiogenesis—the quest for life's origin through chance chemistry. Recent years have only strengthened this view, as no biblical evidence supports life arising via unguided mechanisms. The book's uniqueness shines in bridging this gap with contemporary science, spotlighting the groundbreaking nanotechnology research of world-renowned chemist Dr. James M. Tour. His work demonstrates the staggering difficulty of synthesizing artificial amino acids and DNA from scratch, even with advanced modern labs. Preventing their degradation over mere hours is an even greater hurdle. Tour's open challenges to abiogenesis researchers remain unmet, underscoring that millions of years of random processes aren't a solution—they're the enemy of viable life formation.
In essence, this book equips you with tools to see God's glory in complexity, fostering a faith that's intellectually vibrant and scientifically informed. It doesn't shy from controversy but embraces it, proving there's no scientific warrant for believing life originated through natural, undirected means. Whether you're a student questioning your worldview or a believer seeking reassurance, these pages offer hope, clarity, and a fresh lens on creation's wonders. Join me in this journey to behold the evidence clearly seen—and emerge with unshakeable confidence in the Creator.
