Rational Responders # 14 - Premise 2

Under premise 2 we have looked at a small sampling of the ingenious biological adaptations observable in nature as described by Michael Denton. We discussed the brain, the eye, cells, insect and human legs, and DNA. These complex, incredible components couldn't be the result of chance. Denton addresses this issue in Evolution: A Theory In Crisis .......

"It is the sheer universality of perfection
, the fact that everywhere we look, to whatever depth we look, we find an elegance and ingenuity of an absolutely transcending quality, which so mitigates against the idea of chance. Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which - a functional protein or gene - is complex beyond our own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man?" (Published by Adler & Adler, 1985, page 342.)

The clear answer is a resounding 'NO'. These incredible perfections couldn't have arisen from chance. Even man has yet to produce a computer as powerful as the brain or a storage mechanism as efficient as DNA. So there must be a supernatural, creative presence in the universe more reliable than chance and more powerful and intelligent than man!

When looking closely at our world and its intricate details it is impossible to explain the creation of our existence as just happening. There had to be an intelligent, all powerful, all wise being who created it all. That is much easier to believe. Where did you learn all this stuff and help raise 3 kids?? Impressive!
