Our modern science textbooks still teach our children that matter began as "simple cells" and evolved into more complex cellular structures. With the advent of microbiology, we now know that there is no such thing as a simple cell. Scientist Michael Denton puts it this way, "Although the tiniest bacterial cells are incredibly small, each is in effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up of 100,000,000,000 atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world." This 'simple cell' turns out to be a miniaturized city of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design, including automated assembly plants and processing units featuring robot machines (protein molecules with as many as 3,000 atoms each in three-dimensional configurations) manufacturing hundreds of thousands of specific types of products. all by chance? All without a designer?

And if you couldn't guess. I believe God is the ultimate designer.

That is because we didn't just "happen." We were lovingly and awesomely made. Thank God that He loved mankind enough to put that much thought into us. I was thinking earlier today how amazing it is, that all of the systems in our body are composed of millions and millions of cells and many different parts. You will never convince me that we just evolved. Someone had to put a lot of thought into our creation. Other people should be able to realize this simple truth as well.

So, the fact that the simple cell is a little more complex than the name indicates is proof that there is a God? Life has got to survive somehow, and it isn't going to do it by just being a microscopic blob. It's got to operate somehow. And yes, it was all by chance. All of the conditions had to be exactly right for it to work. You ever noticed how we're not just bumping into other life all around the galaxy? It's probably because the right conditions only occur a few times.

I've certainly never heard of that hypothesis.
Where was it published? It seems unlikely to me that the origin of "matter" is a cell.
For that matter, where was anything in your question published? The Journals Nature, or Science, or Cell? Any of those?

I liked the simple research that was done where they concluded that what makes up dirt, is found in our body.
We are 90% water, take that water away and we are dust,dirt. Open an casket after time and realize that.
I use to believe all that nonsense of evolution, etc as I grew up. Then I was woke and given true sight. Now I laugh at it all and even snicker when I realize I was gulliable enough to believe it all too at one time.
Just hope more take the time to learn instead of repeating hear say, as hear say gets one no where.

It had about a 4 billion year head start on human technology. Random chance is a wonderful thing. It can make you a millionaire playing lotto or frustrate you every week when your numbers don't come in. We don't need a designer. We just need that one in a trillion long shot to come in and start the process moving.

Yes, all by chance, all without a designer. The first "organisms" were a form of bacteria. As they reproduced, some bacteria mutated into slightly different bacteria. Eventually, after many mutations, some of the single celled organisms bonded together into a cluster of cells. Those reproduced into different clusters of cells.
(many, many millenia go by)
Primitive primates evolve into several recognizable sub classes, among them early hominids (pre-humans) and other great apes. These hominids evolve into humans.
EDIT: dude, we guessed. it didn't take much trying to guess.

Yes. The catch is that the much simpler cells could not compete with modern cells and have gone the way of the dodo.

1. Evolution (i.e. macroevolution) is a "theory " in crisis.
2. And atheists/evolutionists accuse us Christians of not being able to think for ourselves?

So we should automatically fill in the gaps with the word "God" or "creator" then right? I don't think so.
Besides, do you have the source in which you got this so-called "proof" of yours?

Can you imagine how long it would take for those millions of atoms to evolve from a mud hole. It took a Creator.
