No God, but created?

[MindForgedManacle]

I'm sure this has been talked to death, but it keeps coming back to haunt me.

I am a full blown atheist in the sense that I am one-million percent positive that there is no perfect mystical magical god. That said, has anyone actually looked at the implications derived from the idea that all life on this planet started from one teeny-tiny microscopic cell?



The information in that first living cell goes way WAY beyond mind-boggling. Then to imply that this cell was created naturally (without any intelligent assistance whatsoever) is simply not fathomable. Though I will probably miss a lot of them, have a look at what instructions had to have been in that first cell:

1. You will replicate yourself in exact detail.
2. You will transfer all the information on replication to the other cells.
3. When there are enough cells you will combine with them to make complex organisms.
4. Instead of cell division you will teach the complex cells how to reproduce asexually.
5. You will adapt to your environment and transform into all manner of plant life, fish-life, and all life on land.
6. You will then teach life to reproduce by using two partners.
7. In living things you will create hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers, bladders, stomachs, intestines, colons, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, throat, glands, hair or fur, limbs, tails, claws, brains...

ALL of this information was in that first cell in one form or another.
And, this all occurred naturally?

Give me aliens having created this cell. Give me a scientist in another dimension playing with life in a petri dish where our universe resides.

But even as an atheist I find it really REALLY hard to swallow that life occurred by random chance.

Thanks for reading.

Perhaps you don't know that abiogenic hypotheses don't - so far as I know - involve the spontaneous generation of a complex cell. Rather, they tend to begin with self-replicating molecules.

The more you know...
