Neutral description of physiological processes, probably not found in the bible:
Lame ass attempt to make assumptions about the need for a supernatural foundation to explain all those wonderful natural processes:
Kudos at least for quoting the source of the neutral description of biological processes, rather than pretending to have a broad knowledge base the way you usually do.

Lipids and proteins interact to assemble bilayers which function much like cross beams which are called phospholipids shaped like a balloon with two strings attached, and are assembled in a tail-to-tail configuration. The balloon ends forms the inner and
outer surfaces. The phospholipids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phospholipid are combination of cholesterol, oils, fats, etc.
The protein molecules on the other hand bind to the inner and outer surfaces and function as receptors that provide the cell capability to communicate with its external environment; they do this by catalyzing chemical reactions at both the inner and outer surfaces. Another function is to transport material across the cell’s membrane and also forms pores and channels though it.

Well of course it would have to surround the cell’s machinery already inside which would have to be likewise fully functional as is the membrane. It’s all or nothing - the nucleus and other parts and the dna scripting for the likes of metabolic and replication must be there inside the membrane in place, in real time, in perfect working order. The border can’t be just 99% ‘evolved’ or the cell doesn’t survive.
If the membrane developed through natural processes, evolutionary models must account for its occurrence early the origin of life pathway. This hasn’t been done, forget about ‘perfectly’; in fact not even close. This is not simple to more complex, this is fully complex.
