ORIGIN OF LIFE - Here’s is a video titled, “The Riddle Of Life's Beginnings feat. Biochemist James Tour (Science Uprising EP5)” found on Dr. Meyers website https://returnofthegodhypothesis.com/media/shorts/ and is link to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymjlrw6GmKU&t=422s Dr. James Tour strongly objects to how some scientists claim life that life spontaneously generate itself from chemicals.
Here is a more recent video where Dr. Tour lists the colleagues that he is calling out to prove the origin of life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r96ewpbVgs He claims they have no clue and provides their names. In an earlier video Dr. Tour issued a 60-day challenge for anyone to provide proof of the origin of life. Around the 22:00 minute mark he says science does not know how the original of life came about. Dr. James Tour is a very accomplished scientist and professor at Rice University. He grew up Jewish and became a Christian at age 18. He has been repeatedly asking other scientists to provide how the origin of life first began. https://www.drjamestour.com/
1953 was Miller Yuri experiment when amino acids were thought to be created in a lab. At that time and decades later, science assumed they would eventually solve the origin of life. But has not. All science has proven is that given the perfect conditions, with the perfectly administered ingredients, in a controlled laboratory, science still cannot explain the origin of life. The lessons learned from this experiment show how miraculous life is, science has no clue, and even some of the compounds used in the 1953 experiment were wrong. Science has actually gotten further away from solving the origin of life as other new discoveries point to an intelligent design. Dr. Tour does say maybe science will figure it out centuries later. As for now, scientists cannot explain the origin of life.
COMPLEXITY OF CELL - Here is the link to Dr. Behe’s website and it has a video on the flagellum and cell https://michaelbehe.com/videos/ https://michaelbehe.com/videos/secrets-of-the-cell/ Video EP2 “The Complexity of Life” illustrates the incredible machine parts in a cell like the flagellum. Around the 3:26 marked we learn the flagellum has been clocked at 100,000 RPM’s! Car guys know redline is between only 6,000 to 8,000 RPM’s.
DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder — a shape known as a double helix.
Dr. Stephen Meyer does a short video on his website. Please scroll down to near the last video titled 03/DNA https://returnofthegodhypothesis.com/media/shorts/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWZpaAIlZgQ is the YouTube link. And is video EP8 “The Information: The Foundation for Life” found on Dr. Behe’s website, here is the link: https://michaelbehe.com/videos/secrets-of-the-cell/ the last half shows some parts of the amazing body.
One search of the web finds one DNA strand in a human cell is 6 feet long if stretched out. Try searching how much DNA information is in one strand of a cell and the human body. The numbers vary but it is an incredible amount. The point is where did all this information (software) come from? Who design the hardware (cell) to operate off this information? This all points to an intelligent designer.

HUMAN BODY – is made up of many incredible operating systems like the circulatory system. The body has over 60,000 miles of arteries, heart that never stops, lungs to process air into the circulatory system, stomach that feeds the body, eyes to see that automatically adjust to light and dark or focus on close and far objects, ears to detect sounds close and far, nose to smell, tongue and vocal chords to communicate, brain that is more complex than the best computer.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN – “The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.” This definition is found at https://intelligentdesign.org/whatisid/
Dr. Meyer has a video titled, “What is Intelligent Design” https://returnofthegodhypothesis.com/media/shorts/ some of Dr. Meyers videos can be found on this website https://intelligentdesign.org/

EVOLUTION – What about it? It does not address any of the above. Evolution assumes all the above exists. Where did the mass come from to create life, the sun to keep earth warm, in the right solar system so earth’s atmosphere would support complex life, in a planet that has food, water, oxygen, etc.? The theory of evolution does not address this. Darwin’s theory came out in 1859. Since then, there have been discoveries and technology has improved to allow modern science to see that the theory of evolution is rubbish.
Dr. Meyer’s website https://returnofthegodhypothesis.com/media/shorts/ has a video titled, “EP9/Fossils” that are used to disprove evolution. The Cambrian explosion was discovered around 1909 by Charles Walcott, 50 years after the Darwin published his theory. Darwin would then see there is no fossil record that supports species evolving.
Is Genesis History? is a documentary that provides arguments that the fossil record does not show any animal species evolving. Rather fossils rapidly appear in certain layers of soil. The particular layer is a sedimentary layer caused by a flood. The fossils are not spread out in another layer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM82qxxskZE
There is much more information that can be found online to debunk evolution. But the theory does not deserve this attention. It’s unfortunate our school system teaches this. It would be a better education if other views were presented and let the reader decide.
