Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

Progressing just fine?  Really. The author seemingly forgets five elementary and undeniable facts:  1) The molecular composition of even the smallest submicroscopic living things is so incredibly complex that merely to assemble the right molecules in the correct order by chance (yes, chance is all there is before “natural selection” can even begin) has repeatedly been proved mathematically to be far beyond impossible.

            2) Even if the laws of mathematics could be defied and the right molecular components were put together in the right order, from what source would they receive life? We don’t know what life is, but we know that it involves more than the right combination of molecules. The right components are still all together at the moment of death, but that mysterious spark of life is no longer present.

            3) Any living thing, without exception, must have come from something living. Things without life cannot make themselves live.

            4) As we have already pointed out, neither any part (such as the liver, kidney, blood system, eye, etc.) nor the body as a whole could be built in stages. Not only wouldn’t natural selection and survival of the fittest encourage further development, it would eliminate anything only partially formed as unfit to survive before any progress could be made.

            5) The construction of every living thing follows precise DNA instructions that demand an intelligent author—instructions that make no sense except for the building and operating of a complex and complete whole, not for piecemeal constructions of nonfunctioning parts to be put together in stages over millions of years.
