As though at one time in the distant past a single cell made a decision about what it wanted for the future after it was gone, offspring. This is really absurd. They put complex thinking and planning into a single cell as though it had a big brain to figure out it's goals and then to design itself to carry them out. I am fed up with the ridiculousness of putting personality and complex thoughts and abilities to carry them out into one cell creatures. The only way a single cell would compete to live and propagate would be if someone who designed it, who did think, put those properties into it.
Rather than look at the whole, consider the parts.
A human started as one cell and grew int a collection of specialized parts and organs. A human is a collection of specialists that live together to function.
The evolutionists make it sound so simple. Matter + Water + Energy + Time = The universe and all living things.
If it were so simple to evolve life why isn’t it just as easy for non-living practical objects to likewise evolve? Why haven’t computers washed ashore that were never manufactured?
Read Darwin’s Black Box by Michael Behe to realize that the “irreducible complexity” of things don’t just happen out of thin air.
That's the way we observe God did it. I don't know why you think it's simple.
If it were so simple to evolve life why isn’t it just as easy for non-living practical objects to likewise evolve? Why haven’t computers washed ashore that were never manufactured?
The key term you use is non-living.
I agree. The author of the article, Sarah Fecht, is still a college student. Social cooperation among individuals of a species can be beneficial to the survival of the species which is what evolution is really about. She's making a common mistake by assuming that survival solely rewards the selfish.
A genome contains information. Where did it come from?
I’m not an evolutionist. I don’t think it is simple.
It is easier to evolve a non-living object that has a practical use than a living object whether it be cellular, plant or animal?
If that which is alive is defined as being capable of metabolism, growth, reproduction, irritability, adaption and movement then where does evolution get its beginning? There are simply too many things to have occurred by accident to account for any living thing.
Let’s look at the other side of the question. Why didn’t God create machines that can “live” on places like the Moon or other places in the Solar System where we don’t see life?
One simple cell communicates to the other, “Why don’t we get together so that we can both function better and our offspring will have a better chance of living. The other says “Good idea, come on over”. The first little cells says “Great” and over he comes, but what happens, chomp, chomp, chomp.
Genesis tells me Who. The origin of Species tells me how.
Just one part is amazing.
But hundreds or thousands of equally amazing parts is astounding.
Now make each INDIVIDUAL part work in perfect sync with all the others-thats nothing short of MIRACULOUS.
:’)
You really trust old Darwin to God's Word that tells us not only who, but how long it took Him to do it. I trust the One who did the creating, who informs me through His Word about the details.
What some Christians do not understand or acknowledge is there is an enemy, Satan, who is over hosts of demons, who is the prince and power of the air. He is able to and keeps many of the people of the earth blinded to truth. He has had 6,000 years to prefect his craft. The institutes of the world are largely under his control. He is a consummate liar and works day and night making sure lies that undercut the glory of God are propagated throughout the world's systems.
You would expect such beliefs as the the belief in evolution, which is contrary to The Word of God, to be accepted in a world held largely under his sway. You would expect the institutes of the world's system to have lies embedded into their very foundations that undermine the truth of the power and glory of God in creation.
The thing the Christian must do who understands this is to be very careful about what is being presented as fact by a basically evil, anti God world system. Believe the Bible first. If you do and honestly investigate you will find myriads of evidence that support Biblical truth, providing of course, you pray and ask God to remove any blinders that the evil one has plastered over the eyes of your soul and you do the research.
