The simplest reproducing cell is so complex. Even considering “junk DNA” and it’s more “rapid” evolution, to progress by mutation and natural selection from a single cell to the complex life forms today, would take much longer than the 4.6 billion years that the earth has been in existence, unless there were some intelligent guiding force. It would take, perhaps a trillion years, when there, is in fact, evidence that the earth, and the sun, are not older than 4.6 billion years.

There is shear complexity, though in the DNA patterns, and even the evolution of DNA itself might well take 4.6 billion years, before it got it right. So these are some things to consider in thinking about intelligent design, DNA, junk DNA and evolution.

Some thoughts from The Origin of Life.
