For he spake, and it was done;
Psalm 33:9
"....outline the four steps in the materialists’ explanation of how advanced civilizations can spontaneously arise on barren planets, without design:
problem which has not yet been solved by science. Regarding the fourth step, we may feel that we “understand” how humans design and build computers and airplanes, because we see it happen and perhaps even do such things ourselves. But seeing something happen and understanding how it happens are two very different things, and again I think even most materialists will agree that science cannot yet explain human consciousness or intelligence in terms of unintelligent forces alone.
Darwinists claim that the third step is well understood by science, that natural selection has organized these duplication errors into higher animals, and intelligent humans.-----what we see in the fossil record — large gaps where major new features appear — actually looks more like the way human technology, such as software or automobiles, “evolves,” through testing and improvements.
....... the striking similarities between the evolution of life and the evolution of human technology such as the automobile, some people have responded by saying that of course cars cannot evolve like animals, because they cannot reproduce, so there are no “variations” for natural selection to work with. Actually the fact that natural selection cannot act on cars is irrelevant to the main point of this comparison, which is simply that similarities between “species” (of cars or animals) do not prove the absence of design."

Psalm 33:9
"....outline the four steps in the materialists’ explanation of how advanced civilizations can spontaneously arise on barren planets, without design:
- Three or four billion years ago a collection of atoms formed by pure chance that was able to duplicate itself.
- These complex collections of atoms were able to preserve their complex structures and pass them on to their descendants, generation after generation.
- Over a long period of time, the accumulation of duplication errors resulted in more and more elaborate collections of atoms.
- Eventually something called “intelligence” allowed some of these collections of atoms to design buildings and computers and airplanes, and write encyclopedias and science texts.
