What we see in DNA is the ability to self-scan, self-diagnose and self-repair. In the same way that cells in an embryo differentiate into other cells and migrate into precise locations with specific purposes, as if they have an inbuilt knowledge or intelligent programme that guides them. Such is the case with DNA. There is a massive difference between throwing some chemicals in a petri dish and watching them aggregate, to the kind of intelligent behaviour seen in DNA.
Try to understand what is being said here.

The difference is , they believe that God was responsible for it, and that he created Adam complete, with no intermediary steps.
But why?
Why do people believe this?
What is there that makes them accept this unsupported proposition?
