I might even refer to Occam's Razor. Did the Life on Earth arise through billions of years of random mutation? Or did a transcendent God create it through supernatural means? The simple explanation seems more likely to me.

Not a good application of OR.

By definition, a Creator is more complex than his Creation. God is not less complex than the universe.

Where the heck did you get that? What you're saying is that humans will never build a computer which is smarter (more complex) than a human. Artificial Intelligence is impossible -- by definition.

I don't believe that.

My original point was that, as a Christian, I need to believe 1 thing: God created Man. Evolutionists need to believe trillions of things happened over billions of years and all these random changes resulted in the world we see today. I find that hard to believe -- my faith isn't strong enough to support that belief.

Sinle cell, non-nucleated life popped up on Earth just a few hundred million years after its initial formation. There were virtually no changes for the next 3.5 billion years.

Then, a more complex form of life appeared (cells with a nucleus).

Then, in a few more hundred million years multi-cellular life appeared and it's been downhill ever since.

Evolutionists are holding on tight to the idea that "something happened" in that 3.5 billion year deadtime where life seems to have neither changed, evolved, nor devolved.

The panspermia folks argue that the more complex nucleated cells arrived here from "outer space".

So, which is the simplest explanation 1 ~ that life did nothing for 3.5 billion years and then began evolving into nucleated cells, or 2 ~ that life did nothing for 3.5 billion years until the arrival of a more advanced form with an appetite for chowing down on bacteria?
