“Life is actually not an example of self-organization. Life is in fact specified–i.e. genetically directed–organization. Living things are instructed by the genetic software encoded in their DNA (or RNA)…The theory of self organization as yet gives us no clue how the transition is to be made between spontaneous, or self induced, organization… and the highly complex, information based, genetic organization of living things… It is not enough to know how these giant molecules arose and started to interact. We also need to know how the systems software came into existence. Indeed we need to know how the very concept of software control was discovered by nature.” (p 141)
Paul Davies, The Fifth Miracle

Doesn't your faith require you to believe life's information encoding system spontaneously generated by chance?
