How did we get here?"
Is the universe simply a phenomenon of matter andenergy?
Did life just 'arise' spontaneously from the primordial
soup, or was life designed and created by a
great intelligence?
Are we simply the product of random forces?

If God created everything, then who created God?
Every cosmology has a beginning point
somewhere. In other creation stories the gods rise up out of
the waters of the deep.
Atheistic scientists believe the 'big bang' just
happened, that it is an uncaused effect.
"Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather
than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.
Stephen Hawking Is it reasonable to believe all was created by nothing?

The modern myth:
In the primaeval soup of the early Earth's atmosphere,
lightning and perhaps volcanic heat caused methane,ammonia, water and other chemicals to produce organic
compounds. Nucleotide bases and amino acids, combine to
form polynucleotides, and they combine to form RNA. This
becomes surrounded by fatty lipids to eventually form proto-cells. The RNA morphs slowly to DNA which makes the first
living cell. Then living cells group together for survival
advantage to become multi-cellular organisms, all the way up
to human beings. Is it reasonable to believe all this happened by itself?

If life could be spontaneously generated, how many
things would have to come together?"
The simplest peptide is about 32 amino acids
long.
The simplest cell has more than 2 million
individual components.

Artificial Life?
They mixed chemicals to create the 4 nucleotide bases
that make up the chain of DNA. They used Yeast cells and went through three cycles of
multiplication.
They put the resulting genetic material into a cell.
They claimed 'artificially created life'.
Using intelligence to copy the design.
Using technology and life to multiply and amplify
the material.
Using a living container!

Let's (just for the sake of argument) assume that it
takes 200 steps to build a simple living cell.

Michael Denton:
To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by
olecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand millionimes until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles aiant airship large enough to cover a great city like London orew York. What we would then see would be an object onparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surfacef the cell we would see millions of openings, like the portoles of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow aontinual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were tonter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a
orld of supreme technology and bewildering complexity...

Michael Denton:
s it really credible that random processes could have
onstructed a reality, the smallest element of which aunctional protein or gene is complex beyond our own
reative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis o
hance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the
ntelligence of man?
