Origin of Life
God or Natural Processes
When considering how life began, there are only two options. Either life was created by an intelligent source (God) or it began by natural processes.
No Mechanism to Spark Life
No mechanism by which non-living matter can randomly spark itself into life has ever been demonstrated. Information must come from a source of information.
Time and Chance?
To creationists, the incredible workings of the genetic code are not a mystery to be explained but instead a marvel to be understood as one of God’s most incredible designs. How such a coding system (even in a simpler form) could have arisen through random interaction is yet another leap of faith by evolutionists.
Help From Stardust
By assuming organic compounds ejected by stars could have fortified the primordial solar system, asteroids and meteorites, and of course earth with the building blocks of life, evolutionary scientists see such findings as a source to seed the process of molecules-to-man evolution.
