new church life: september/october 2017
What on earth is it that makes
these 100 million atoms come
together to organize themselves over
these vast distances – keeping in
mind the distance between the sun
and planet Pluto – into the relative
simple organism that is called a virus?
Is it coincidental? Random? Could
it be pure chance?
Give me a break, Darwinists!
And even if one person, with
a maximum of good will, should
consider the possibility that it is
coincidental, then what about the
probably hundreds of millions of
viruses that constitutes a single attack of flux in a human body? And what
about all other organisms which in turn are made up of these tiny atoms?
Indeed, what about everything else – seeing that all matter is composed of
atoms?
And as if these well-known, simple, scientific facts should not be mind-
boggling enough, here is another one: It happens all the time!
For when a human sperm cell unites with the egg cell, and the two united
begin to split and grow, from two to four, from four to eight, from eight to
sixteen, and so on, up to the literally zillions of cells that constitutes the new-
born baby nine months later – this truly amazing process is the result of atoms
flowing in, and organizing themselves, first into molecules, then into amino
acids, the building blocks of a living cell.
Remember, a bacterium, a single-celled organism, is made up of about a
100 billion atoms. They come together over these vast distances, organizing
themselves into what we call a bacterium.
Man, on the other hand, is a multi-celled organism. Billions and billions of
cells, each one of which is made up of a 100 billion atoms, give or take a million
or two. This constitutes our very own bodies! And it happens all the time!
Can all this organizing, this hallmark of life, in any way be called, random,
coincidental, pure chance?
No way, my friends, absol utely not!
At this point I feel the need to state that this essay is not an attack on the
theory of evolution, and on the scientific approach to what nature consists
of, and how it works. On the contrary, evolution is an unavoidable process
of life itself. Evolution – or better, growth – is a characteristic of life. It has a
beginning – seeds fall to the ground. It has an in-between state – it grows up
This is the circle of
life, and it is common
to all manifestations
of life as we know it.
And this process can
in no way be said to be
coincidental or random.
It always has a purpose!
