Actually the math does not support such an absurd claim. Every binary factor scales at 2^2^k. So if you build yourself an Excel script, see how big the numbers get. I think the last time I looked at this my poor little laptop could only store up to k=9, at k=10 the number was too big for the computer to hold. So if you have only ten factors going into making a molecule, the number of possible combinations is a UUUUuuuuge number. As soon as you start talking about a single cell organism you are talking about a mini-universe of complexity and an unknowable number of binary outcomes to produce it.

The blueprint for life is built into the mathematics of the tiniest subatomic particle.

Then why hasn't it been reproduced?

Are you saying we know everything about the mathematics of matter and therefore should be able to create life?

Where did you get your degree in quantum mechanics?

Now I get what your saying. You’re saying only God can create life. I am saying God created a universe with the blueprint for living creatures built into the very structure of the matter that composes that universe.

If you still want to argue, go find some two-year old to argue with.

The earth is filled with evidence that it is billions of years old. Flesh humans are what is ‘young’ on the scale of time. And no scientists in the flesh will ever discover the composition of ones soul/spirit intellect. This flesh age has a time stamp of expiration.
