This is just one little problem that must be overcome to explain the existence of the very first living cell.
According to the theory of evolution, the first living cell had to have been formed by naturalistic mechanisms that defy all the known laws of nature. Natural law says that all inanimate matter desires equilibrium.
Homogeny is the ultimate goal of nature. A living cell is almost infinitely far away from this goal. Every living cell is extremely complicated and yet one of these amazing machines, which still cannot be reproduced by science, just happened to come together even before “natural selection” was even theoretically around?!
Come on now. Is this a rational theory? Consider the fact that the simplest living cell is far more complicated than the best supercomputer in the world today. And yet many believe that such a cell assembled itself in a primitive ocean soup of this Earth about four billion years ago? Really? Would anyone believe that a supercomputer could assemble itself in the shifting sands of the earth's primitive deserts? Why not? All the building blocks for a supercomputer are there mixed up in the desert sands. Volcanic activity, lightening, and wind could provide the necessary energy for construction. What's the problem? Homogeny. Homogeny is the problem.
Parts do not assemble themselves in a non-homogenous way because of natural law. Information and directed energy from an outside source is needed for the assembly of working parts that were originally homogenous.
In the very first cell (Assuming that there was a “first” cell), which came first... the DNA or the protein? Of course, the protein that reads the DNA is itself coded for by the DNA. So, the protein could not be there first since its code or order is contained in the DNA that it decodes. Proteins would have to decode themselves before they could exist.
So obviously, without the protein there first, the DNA would never be read and the protein would never be made. Likewise, the DNA could not have been there first since DNA is made and maintained by the proteins of the cell. Yes, the whole system is dependent upon all its parts being there simultaneously. Some have called such a system "irreducibly complex." DNA makes proteins that make DNA. Without either one of them, the other cannot be made or maintained. Since these molecules are the very basics of all life, there could be no more primitive life form to evolve from. And, even if a lot of protein and DNA were to come together at the same time, what are the odds that all the hundreds of necessary unique proteins needed to decode both the DNA and mRNA (not to mention the needed ATP molecules) would all simultaneously fuse together in a functional way?
Not only has this phenomenon never been reproduced by any scientist in any laboratory on earth, but a reasonable mechanism by which such a phenomenon might even occur has not even been theorized.
