Complexity and Chance  

Keep in mind that there can be no natural selection to select for the first cell since natural selection requires reproduction and there is nothing beneath the level of a single cell that can reproduce. The first one had to pop into being fully complete. There is no such thing as a simple cell.

Inside each cell, hundreds of thousands of machines work to make the cell function. Each cell is a complex city having all the complexity of a city such as New York only shrunk down to microscopic size. This is as true of the "simple" bacteria as it is of the cells in the human body.

If you could walk into New York and say with conviction that this city happened by purely chance happenings and no one designed or built any of it, then, you would be crazy enough to say that cells could have popped into existence by chance. At the same time, it would make more sense to say that New York was not designed or built than to say that the cell was not designed and built, but who could have built such a wonderful city as the cell is?

Each cell of every type builds itself automatically using tiny robots that it has built. It runs itself automatically using tiny robots that it has built. It protects and sustains itself automatically using tiny robots that it has built. There are robot trucks, robot messengers, robot motors, robot trash taggers, robot trash collectors and reconstitutors, robot fuel refiners, robot gate keepers, etc.

Then, there is the DNA. The DNA of each of your cells has all the information about every part of your body. It apparently has all or most of the information about your parents, and grand parents as well since your children can inherit traits of your grand parents that appeared in neither you nor your parents. This is all we know now, and it is probably the tip of the iceberg. This amazing computer that is your DNA has a lot of information in it. There is no computer created by humans that can in any way begin to compare to it. There is no human who understands the DNA. We have just scratched the surface, and we stand amazed at the work of God's hands.

Most Evolutionists don't understand what Natural Selection is.  Some of them think that Natural Selection makes information or that it works with mutation to create information.  Science shows us that both these notions are incorrect.  (Read the latest science on the subject: Without Excuse by Werner Gitt, a description of the scientific Laws of Universal Information. See also: Information Theory Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Here is another interesting article.) More is constantly being learned about information and about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Evolutionists tend to hide in the weeds of the unknown with an argument from ignorance: "If you can't prove, by empirical science, that evolution is impossible, then it happened." By empirical science alone, we can only prove probabilities. The probabilities show the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story to be a bazaar hypothesis, a story that is so improbable that it should not be considered. However, empirical science is not a tool that can prove anything to be true or false absolutely. For absolute proof, we have revelation. (See Basic and Concise Guide to Practical, Useful Logic and Reasoning). God says that He created everything. He is the One Who enforces the laws of nature. He is the One Who will judge all of us in the end. We know that because we know Him presonally through the indwelling Presence of Jesus Christ and the moment-by-moment instruction of the Holy Spirit.

Depending on which definition you use, Natural Selection can be real.  It works to eliminate severe mutations.  If Evolutionists were not promoting a dogma, a more scientifically accurate term would be "natural elimination."   Natural Selection can mean different things depending on the context in which it is used, though.  Some of those contexts actually try to transform Natural Selection into molecules-to-man Evolution.  They also try to confuse people into believing that small adaptations (calling this micro-evolution, which is a deceiving term.) add up to molecules-to-man Evolution.  At other times, Natural Selection is written about as if it were an intelligent all-powerful god that thinks things through and does them.  But Natural Selection as a description of the way that severe mutations result in the death of the mutated life form is real.  It can't add information and it appears that mutation never adds any information either.  At least, no one has ever been able to observe information being added despite many tax dollars trying to do so.  Evolution has a very real information problem. Most mutations aren't detrimental enough, however, for Natural Selection to operate.  Small mutations can build up in a population over time and cause extinction.  It is illegitimate to use Natural Selection to support Evolution.  Natural Selection supports a young Earth and a Creator.
