When Simple Is Not So Simple/Some Points to Ponder

The unusual abilities of Dunaliella are remarkable. Yet, these are only a small part of the astounding array of properties used by single-cell organisms to survive and thrive in varying and sometimes hostile environments. These properties  enable Dunaliella to respond to growth needs, take in food selectively, exclude harmful substances, excrete wastes, evade or overcome disease, escape predators, reproduce, and so forth.  Humans use about 100 trillion cells to accomplish these tasks!

Is it reasonable to say that these single-celled alga is merely a simple, primitive life-form that by happenstance came about from a few amino acids in an organic soup? Is it logical to ascribe these wonders of nature to pure chance?  How much more reasonable it is to credit the existence of living things to a masterful Designer who created life for a purpose.  Such intelligence and craftmanship, far beyond our ability to comprehend full, are necessary to account for the vastly complex and interactive nature of living things

A careful examination of the Bible, uncluttered by religious or scientific dogma, reveals satisfying answer to questions concerning the origin of life.  Millions of people, including many trained in the sciences, have had their lives enriched by such an examination.
