Biological complexity: how cell structure functions (Introduction)

DAVID: The endoplasmic reticulum is a highly complex network of membranes that holds the internal cell structure together, but is moveable for passage of molecules:

DAVID: This describes a protein factory in which everything is moving, both the manufacturing machines and the interior of the factory itself. It is reasonable that the first living cells were like this. How did that all happen at once? Only if planned by a mind, that is, by God.

The more details scientists uncover about the cell, the clearer it becomes that each cell is a microcosmic body in itself, with all its parts interacting just like the parts of our macrocosmic body. In both cases, the majority of the parts will respond automatically to the needs of the moment. But just like our own body, the cell also needs instructions before its different parts go into action. It is the source of the instructions that remains open to debate. How did it all happen in the first place? Nobody knows the origin of the mechanisms for life and evolution, and I am not going to argue against the possibility that they were planned by your God.
