I now believe there is a God…I now think it [the evidence] does point to a creative Intelligence almost entirely because of the DNA investigations. What I think the DNA material has done is that it has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which which are needed to produce life, that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements to work together. ..Antony Flew

as far as we observe, every cell comes from a cell. This is result of our inability to see way back in the past. A fundamental fact of cell chemistry is that the cell is full of enzymes and amino acids. The instructions to make something actually come from outside the cell. This is fundamentally the same as if the instruction was just placed into a soup of similar enzymes and amino acids that was not necessarily inside a membrane. The point is that cell chemistry likely evolved before there were actually cells holding the soup.

Under episodes of cell stress or genome shock, as Shapiro points out in Evolution, a cell “activates the molecular systems that restructure genomes” (ref. Jorgensen). This intense scurry for novelty in response to an external threat, and the coding of solutions into DNA which is passed sideways to their peers, is an observed method of evolutionary progress, and as antibiotic researchers will tell you, it is very effective indeed. Well, there you go, this general description of the mechanism of external pressures is seen over & over, the same idea finds its emergence again to explain the rapid speciation during the Cambrian explosion in that idea "Evolutionary Arms" race. One doesn't marvel at the precision or speed of these chemical reactive assemblies, its not uncommon that many kinds of chemical reactions are almost instantaneous. One could marvel at the survivabilty of these assemblies but not so much when one considers the persistant survivablity of the component atoms. To say that its all just too complex, answers nothing, and its not all too much but you seem to take an infantile joy in repeting this.
