The complexities encoded in DNA alone affirm a super-natural knowledge implanted in every living creature far superior to all of the computer code generated by mankind. Every living cell contains DNA, with only a few exceptions i.e. when red-blood cells shed their nucleus. DNA contains the estimated equivalence of 3 billion coded-letter sequences of A C T & G. If recorded in books, this code would form a stack equal to the height of the Washington Monument. It has been estimated that the number of messages communicated between the brain, spinal column, and nervous system numbers into the hundreds of trillions per second.

Does that mean God personally creates each snowflake supernaturally?

“Does that mean God personally creates each snowflake supernaturally?”

This is so ridiculous that my 1st thought was it does not even deserve an answer - but then I smiled a little when I saw you get smacked down in post #79 - mwa ha ha ha.

So it’s not enough for you that God created a natural system that makes every living thing unique and in other cases even things that appear to be as simple as snowflakes?

Here’s something to ponder regarding your middle ages remarks in another post.

You and I don’t know squat about why any given civilization in the past rose or fell only what some historian decides to highlight for their audience.

I’m pretty sure though re: Islam and the ‘civilized’ world, if you deny the simple truths God writes in all men’s hearts you’ll see why Islam is so backwards and even why America is in decline as a nation. Maybe some quotes from another fellow christian and the greatest scientist of all time, one Sir Isaac Newton may give you pause [for at least a few moments anyways]:

Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.

Men build too many walls and not enough bridges.

I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent”

No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.

He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God; but he who really thinks has to believe in God.

How came the bodies of animals to be contrived with so much art, and for what ends were their several parts?
Was the eye contrived without skill in Opticks, and the ear without knowledge of sounds?...and these things being rightly dispatch’d, does it not appear from phænomena that there is a Being incorporeal, living, intelligent...?

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after than to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of any thing.

Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?
