Why Evolution Fails: The Origins of Life

Let me set up a hypothetical synario for you. Let's say you go out into a wilderness. This wilderness is a great expanse full of dust, rocks, wind, sand, and heat. It's a very beautiful place, but it's a very wild place. Even though it is a wilderness it is also a very rich place. The rocks and ground are full of metal and ore. It has some of everything. Let's say you go riding through this barren and foreboding place on horseback and a few miles into the ride you catch something out of the corner of your eye. Upon closer inspection you find that it is a laptop computer. It's kind of old and covered with dust. You open it up and try to boot it up. It turns on at first but then fails after a few seconds. What would you assumption of this synario be? Would you assume that someone else had been there before and dropped and left their laptop there accidentally, or would you assume that all of the elements, the wind, the dust, the ore in the rocks, the sand, and everything else just randomly came together accidentally or on their own to form this laptop computer? That would be ridiculous wouldn't it!

Now, let's take a step back. What if the laptop computer that you came across was more advanced than anything you would see out right now? It is faster, more secure, with a bigger hard drive, and better OS (operating system), and in better condition than anything that you could buy. What would your assumption be then? What if this ultimate computer was able to repair itself when it was broken and build more of itself, from the elements around it, in an attempt to be able to do more things. Would you assume then that this advanced computer accidentally came to being on it's own from the materials in the wilderness? Not possible.

Yet this is what evolution teaches. A single living cell is more complex than the most complex supercomputer in the world. And yet, we are expected to believe that in some ancient primordial ooze this single celled organism that is more complex than the most complex supercomputer somehow created itself with no outside help.

Well, on a side note, this writing thing is quite a bit harder than i thought it would be. I started out this post attempting to write about the problems with the basic premise of evolution, and instead ended up writing about the origins of life. Ah well, the basic premise will have to wait for another day.
