here is a basic logic to be used in analyzing evidence of the creation of
living beings. We can explain this logic with a simple example.
While walking on barren land, you suddenly find a metal key on the
ground. Imagine that you pick up this key without knowing what it’s
good for and you keep on walking. Again imagine that you come up to
an empty house a few hundred metres from where you found the key.
And again imagine that you try the key in the lock of the house, think-
ing it might work.
If the key opens the door of this house easily, what conclusion do
you arrive at logically?
It is simple. You conclude that this key belongs to the door of this
house. That is, it has been designed specially to open this lock. It is ob-
vious that the same craftsman has manufactured both the lock and the
key. Therefore the harmony between them is the product of a conscious
design.
Yet, if somebody says to you, "You’re wrong. The key you found
bears no relation to that lock. It is pure coincidence that that key fits that
lock, what do you think?" Of course, you will find this proposition defi-
cient in logic, because in this world there are millions of locks and mil-
lions of keys that do not fit. It is obviously impossible for two that fit
perfectly, out of millions of different ones, to be located beside each oth-
er coincidentially.
Especially if the said key is quite complex with all kinds of ins and
outs, that is if it is not straight and simple like a room key. The claim of
"coincidence" becomes even more absurd because, each detail on the
key must have its counterpart in the lock as well, thus decreasing the
probability of this coincidence millions of times.
