The Origin of Life and the Universe

And what they made was laughable compared to what you see in nature.
‘Although our results demonstrate that novel enzyme activities can be designed
from scratch” they write “and indicate the catalytic strategies that are most
accessible to nascent enzymes, there is still a significant gap between the
activities of our designed catalysts and those of naturally occurring enzymes.’
There is no blind watchmaker. And so when you look at these three
facts that when we examine biochemical systems we see evidence for the
work of a Mind we see a Creator’s fingerprints. We can show that every
attempt to explain the origin of life through chemical evolution has led to
fail. And we can show that attempts to create life in the lab unequivocally
demonstrate the necessary role of intelligent agency really left with one
conclusion.
The life itself must come from the work of a Mind.
It is gratifying to me to think that 30 years later the conclusions I came
to as a young graduate student are valid. If you are open-minded and if you
really follow the evidence where it leads, in my view, there is only one con-
clusion and that is:
There has to be a Creator, there has to be a Creator that brought life
into existence. The question then becomes for all of us who is that Creator
how do we relate to that Creator which are far more important questions
that whether not a Creator exist in my opinion.
Thank you so much.
