But you should be aware that the fact that you're convinced is not assurance that the world functions as you are convinced it does. As such, you should be humble (and, if I remember my Indiana jones, being humble is a big plus for your religion) and let there be some doubt in the way you present your point of view.
And nothing of what you've given us can provide such a certainty as the one you have concerning this DNA business. Sure, the DNA "machinery" is impressive. Sure it is complex. Sure it seems to encode the blueprints for a living organism. But, and this has been said a million times, that does not give you any assurance of how this "machinery" came into being.
Science postulates an approach based on evolving structures. There is also no 100% certainty, but the mechanism is plausible and relies only on chemistry. Chemistry which is known to work in particular ways... often complex.
The mechanism that you are certain of is... unknown?.. just that some super entity has to be responsible for it. "Has to be" because you can't imagine such complexity arising through natural means. But your lack of imagination need not correlate with reality.
So, some humility, CDF, please.
I humbly state the facts. I stand firm on my beliefs though.
That is the opposite of what you should do!
I'm always appalled by the gall of believers which makes you guys certain of that in which you believe. Come on, the clue is in the title!
Belief, "an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/belief
This is where you should be humble and you fail utterly.
Not just you, but nearly every other believer in any religious entity. Can you explain to me where such lack of awareness of the nonexistence of support for the belief comes from?
You're doing what my kids do when faced with some phenomenon that they were not present to know how it happened: they make up an explanation that loosely fits and victoriously claim "I've got it, I know!".
