This new video of the "Inner Life of the Cell" speaks volumes about the "Intelligent Design" vs "Chance Evolution" debate. Especially if you consider the "Anthropic Principle" that the Universe is ideally suited for life to develop.

If you take the simplest know living organism and scale each atom up to the size of a tennis ball the diameter of that cell would exceed a mile. The thought that all those atoms could spontaneously form into a living thing boggles the mind.

I am not saying it couldn't happen, but if it did then something is at work in the process we do not currently understand.

Follow this link to the full video with an excellent narrative explaining what you are seeing. Inner Life of the Cell

I watched a program on the Science Channel last night.

It was an ID vs Darwin's Evolution Theory and showed ALL the reasons why ID was completely WRONG. And how Darwin was completely RIGHT.

Now I am not saying the earth is 10k years old. I don't believe that. But I don't believe it was all an accident either.

I know I will get ragged by the Evolutionists on this, but the whole time I was watching, my stomach didn't feel right. I cannot explain it, but my spirit was unsettled. Now my father was a staunch evolutionist, but I came from a religious family. A scientifically openminded family. My mother's theory is that we have no idea how long God's "day" is.

Speaking as someone trained in the sciences, I don't know how you could look at that video and not believe in and thank God.

Right, and nearly every evolutionist agrees that it didn't happen that way.

What is generally believed is that simple structures evolved slowly over time into more complex structures over millions of years.

It was hardly spontaneous.

"Chance Evolution"

That is a common fallacy. Chance does not enter into biological evolution.

Umm.... Wow.

Impressive animation. The human body is truly miraculous.

I watched this 55 minute CD the other night from the author of this book. http://www.iconsofevolution.com/ it was excellent.

This will have the Darwin people pulling their hair out.

There's more then one thing we currently don't understand.

But if you look at what we understood yesterday you'll find that we don't only see much clearer but the knowledge of men is developing faster and faster.

It's not easy to leave a room for god in this because we are aware that in the past men put god in every equation they did not solve up to their time.

I think we should find god in the action of people and not in their creation, biological existance and the chemistry involved.

There's only one finding in hard science that indicates devine existance so far:
