Scientists can't even make the 20 amino acids that all living organisms use to make proteins, much less figure out how non-intelligent matter + Time + undirected energy could Create DNA, while at the same time add an Encyclopedia of new and necessary information to it.2 And according to a recent article in Scientific American on how Life might possibly have originated (by itself), 3 it was reported that scientists were able to mix two amino acids together and come up with … 2-aminooxizole. This is like finding a piece of iron ore stuck to a piece of magnetite. Cool perhaps, but nowhere close to the complexity of a computer, with monitor, printer, correct cables, power cord, and AC voltage, running on Windows XP, nor anything resembling the complexity of a bacterium: the most simple of which contains thousands of homochiralic (i.e. left-handed amino acid only) proteins, of 600 different types, DNA, DNA and RNA polymerase, helicase, ribosomes, a membrane: and that is dependent upon a more complex host organism to survive.4 And, contrary to what has been propagated by the media, water does NOT solve the problem,5 but rather complicates it and makes it more difficult to explain: apart from a Designer and Creator. The information in DNA is the heart of all living organisms: if not a Divine Fingerprint of our origin, simply because information does not appear by chance, nor can it be explained by random chemical reactions, nor undirected / destructive heat, nor random electric sparks. In fact, our DNA and its machinery (that reads, copies, and transfers the information therein) is more complicated than anything man has ever made. And without the information in DNA, life as we know it would cease to exist.5 For example, the proteins in our body decay at approximately a million a minute, yet we remain alive because our DNA (and it's machinery) creates a million new ones per minute to take their place. DNA is broken down into segments called genes. A gene is a protein blueprint, and one DNA molecule may contain thousands of them: each of which contains the correct chemically coded information needed to make proteins. However, DNA cannot decode itself, but requires the help of various other biological proteins that are made by the DNA and/or by ribosomes to do so.6 In other words we have a "which came first" situation: i.e. which came first, the information in the DNA or the protein-components necessary to read that information??? This cannot simply be dismissed from the debate about how life on Earth came about, at least not without admitting that what one believes in this regard is a matter of faith -- since, the fact of the matter is that scientists don't really know how life came about, much less demonstrate it via random natural processes. In order to make proteins, DNA -- in conjunction with RNA polymerase and helicase -- creates small mobile (RNA) copies of the information stored in its genes. These copies then travel to the cell's protein factories or ribosomes where the information is read and used to make life-based proteins -- that as far as we know -- only come from already living things. The proteins then fold into specific shapes and are used to make larger structures. In other words, the DNA, RNA, ribosomes, cell membrane, and raw materials all work together: which is why Francis Crick, one of the discoverers of DNA, proposed the theory of Directed Panspermia: the belief that life came to earth from outer space. 7,8 Thus we are left with God or the aliens. One offers Eternal life, the other entertainment: one is costly; the other costs nothing. Both are voluntary. Thus it is time for scientists, ignorant, dishonest, and/or arrogant judges, and the media to stop touting their (atheistic) religion in the name of science, and to admit that they don’t know how we got here, nor how life arose, and that the theory of evolution is not based on a science that can be observed or demonstrated, but rather on speculation, imagination, and faith in nature’s ability to create rather than what we actually observe: i.e. to break things down and destroy them.
