             earthquakes. Everything has gone so well that the bricks are arranged so
             as to leave the necessary window spaces as if they knew that something
             called glass would be formed later on by natural conditions. Moreover,
             they have not forgotten to leave some space to allow the installation of
             water, electricity and heating systems, which are also later to be formed by
             chance. Everything has gone so well that "coincidences" and "natural
             conditions" produce a perfect design.
                  One who manages to sustain his belief in this story so far should have
             no trouble surmising how the town's other buildings, plants, highways,
             sidewalks, substructures, communications, and transportation systems
             came about. If he possesses technical knowledge and is fairly conversant
             with the subject, he can even write an extremely "scientific" book of a few
             volumes stating his theories about "the evolutionary process of a sewage
             system and its uniformity with the present structures." He may well be
             honored with academic awards for his clever studies, and may consider
             himself a genius, shedding light on the nature of humanity.
                  The theory of evolution, which claims that life came into existence by
             chance, is no less absurd than our story, for, with all its operational
             systems, and systems of communication, transportation and management,
             a cell is no less complex than a city. In his book Evolution: A Theory in

             Crisis, the molecular biologist Michael Denton discusses the complex
             structure of the cell:
                  To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we
                  must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in
                  diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like
                  London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of
                  unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we
                  would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship,
                  opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and
                  out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a
                  world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity... Is it really
                  credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest
                  element of which—a functional protein or gene—is complex beyond our
                  own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance,
                  which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man? 238
