" Each one a new "invention", depending on new, random and functioning mutations. It all happened somehow, because here we are, and so there has to be an explanation, but whatever explanation you come up with beggars belief. And if it beggars belief, how do you believe in it?" - I believe evolution occurred, because I accept that DNA/RNA is a very complex multi-layered coding system, filled with information, able to, at a simple level, manufacture strings of amino acids into protein molecules, but also construct a fetus into a living being. I don't accept that inorganic material could make a complex code of that magnitude. Imagine a rock or a pile of sand or even a mix of methane, nitrous oxide, hydroxide radicals, and some simple sulfur compound combining together and the mass of information pops up. The issue is information. Where did it come from? My answer is from intelligence. Only an intelligence can make a code.
