Life—Irreducibly Complex

A huge problem for evolution is how complex life is—and not just complex, but irreducibly complex.

Here’s an example of what I mean: in order to function, nearly every creature requires three very different kinds of molecules, and none of them can function without the other two.

DNA depends on both RNA and proteins to function; RNA depends on DNA and proteins; and proteins depend on DNA and RNA. So all three of these had to be in place at the same time for them to function! It’s irreducibly complex.

These mutually dependent systems couldn’t have evolved. They point to the handiwork of the Creator God.
