The largest computer programs are in the 100 million lines of code (LOC) range. I worked for a company that had a reverse engineering engine and telecom billing systems were that large. Another system I worked on had 10 million LOC and it originated $100 billion in loans a year. No one person can come close to understanding something that large let alone design it free of fatal errors (what we call a Level 2 program).

Precisely. But much deeper b/c as science continues to unlock the secrets of DNA they are finding more complexity and more riddles that evolution simply will never account for.

The fact that language and behavior are learned should tell you all you need to know about any initial animal population - the primary skills found ingrained in their very being had to be conceptualized and coded for ahead of their initial use. Not just the 5 senses for humans but sonar for dolphins, navigational star readings for birds and insects - the list is as long as the kinds and don’t forget that 99.9% to have ever lived are extinct. Or that approx 400 different types of parasitic populations live in a healthy and properly functioning stomach. Or how about explaining an evolutionary perspective on the bombardier beetle or the common caterpillar/butterfly.

No room for accidental re-programming on a missing link type scale. Language for mankind is so distinct and complex when compared to any other life form, the same for conscious awareness, abstract thinking, problem solving, etc. If man is raised in isolation, aka tarzan, than no language is expressed - it must be passed down generation to generation. Older languages are more complex than modern and yet also had to originate from somewhere?, right?

Now what was the primary task God proscribed for Adam regarding creation? God had to teach the first man, Adam language before He could ever go about making up sounds and words to define the animal kingdom.

If I discard Genesis as some storytelling than please provide me with any source that has a better explanation for these mysteries please. It is foundational to everything about out faith. If the fall from the Garden of Eden didn’t happen then why would anyone need a Saviour?
