Biology is a soft science when compared to mathematics or physics. Macro evolutionary theory has always been based and taught that we started off as a single cell and morphed our way up the food chain to man. That single cell part of the theory has failed to pass the mathematics test of probability and the physics test of thermodynamics and 50 years of experimental effort trying to get raw aminio acids to create something as complex as the DNA molecule. This is the athiest / secular humanist religion in a nutshell. Random events create complex systems out of raw materials sloshing around in the ocean therefore God and religion are unneccessary.

The problem they have is that Darwin had an overly simplistic view of the single cell and they had an overly ambitious desire to hijack his theory to create their own religion. It would be nice if they would simply concede after all this time that no one knows where or how we came about and therefore it will always be an article of faith to believe one way or the other.

Thermodynamics shows you can't go from a single cell to something more complicated? How do you figure that?

Amino acids forming DNA? Wow, you really have NO idea what you are talking about. DNA is made up of NUCLEIC acids, not amino acids. DNA in a triplet code inside a ribosome specifies a particular amino acid on a growing protein chain such that a “gene” is a chain of nucleic acids that codes for a “protein” or chain of amino acids.

Genes carry the information to make a protein. A protein is a molecular structure that performs a vital task (structural, enzymatic, metabolic, signaling, etc).

Your complaint is like saying one cannot plant an apple seed and grow an orange tree. WOW. No kidding.

What does “random” mean to you when the Bible clearly states that God controls all “random” processes?

Prov 16:33 The dice are cast into the lap, but every result is from the lord.

“Random” processes are used all the time in the natural world, and in biology particularly.

Yet God's power doesn't stop at the casino door.

The dichotomy that Creationists wish to create is that either all things are created by God, or all things developed from random events. That limits God to not having any power over random events, and is thus not a Biblical view.
