I continue to work my way through Jonathan Sarfati’s book on creation (see picture below). I am on page 234 and read the following quotes there. I still have over 400 pages to go but I’m in no hurry. Almost everyone is aware, due to widely publicized modern media, how mind-bogglingly complex even the simplest of cells are. These quotes go beyond that, and Mr. Sarfati entitles this short section in his book:
“ATHIEST CONUNDRUM.” -cr
“The origin of the cell’s information, and its decoding machinery, is thus a huge problem for atheists. Astrophysicist and evolutionist Paul Davies (b. 1946) says:
‘We now know that the secret of life lies not with the chemical ingredients as such, but with the logical structure and organisational arrangement of the molecules. … Like a supercomputer, life is an information processing system. … It is the software of the living cell that is the real mystery, not the hardware.’
But he does nothing to solve this mystery. Instead he asks, ‘How did stupid atoms spontaneously write their own software?’ , and answers, ‘Nobody knows…’ and admits: ‘There is no known law of physics able to create information from nothing.’
However, this makes good sense if the information came from a Master Programmer, as revealed in the Bible.”
