IS BELIEF IN THE CREATOR REASONABLE? - CONSIDER THE EVIDENCE

You are on a remote, uninhabited island. While walking along the beach, you see "John 1800" engraved on a boulder. Do you assume that because the island is isolated and uninhabited, the marks must be the result of wind or water erosion?  Of course not! You rightly conclude that someone made that inscription. Why? For one thing, a string of well-defined  letters and numbers-even if they are in a foreign language-does not occur naturally. Second the statement contains meaningful information, indicating an intelligent source. 

In everyday life, we encounter information encoded in many forms-such as Braille or letters of the alphabet, as well as diagrams, musical notes, spoken words, hand signs, radio signals, and computer programs involving  the binary code, using zeros and ones.  The information conveying medium can be virtually anything, from light to radio waves to paper and ink. Whatever the case, people always associate meaningful information with an intelligent mind-unless such information is contained in a living cell.  That information say evolutionists, just happened or wrote itself somehow. But did it? Consider the evidence.
