ty-has developed such complexity that the technology of a space shut-
tle is simple by comparison.
To accept the impossible, suppose that the cell did form coinci-
dentally and then let's consider the plausibility of this supposition. In
this situation, most of the innumerable objects and tools we see
around us, which are much simpler in structure than the cell, would
have to have been formed a thousand times easier than the cell.
According to the rules of simple logic, the formation of a less complex
object by chance is much easier than the formation of a more complex
object by chance. If this highly complex structure could have formed
on its own, then simpler ones in the same environment would have to
have formed much more easily and in greater numbers.
Consequently, if we accept for a second that coincidences have the
power to create, then the probability that a television, a car, a
microchip or a walkman could form at random, with no creative
mind, in a primitive environment, is much higher than a cell theoret-
ically forming by chance. (Without a doubt, in reality, the possibility
that these formed by coincidence is zero, and this is a solely imaginary
example, the cell included).
Consider another discrepancy.
For a living cell to form, multiply, and continue the next genera-
tion, the proteins making up a major part of the cell's components and
the DNA that facilitates genetic transmission must have been found
together at the same time. If all the proteins and enzymes, organelles,
cell membrane, and DNA all came together at random, even this is not
enough to form a cell because of one great danger: DNA can in no
way come into contact with these proteins since DNA is acidic, and
proteins are bases. Whenever they come in contact, they will immedi-
ately react and neutralize each other. Even if the DNA nucleotides and
the proteins came together in the "primitive soup"-the imaginary
environment so named by evolutionists-they would have destroyed
each other and never moved on to the next step.
