Complex AND purposefully organized.... That is observable evidence in the
same way that any fool can recognize a complex and organized computer
program as having an intelligent and purposeful creator/programmer. Adding
to this example, of course, is the fact the creation of a universe and
subsequent resultant consciousness and intelligence, balanced systems for
sustaining life, etc.. is many billions of times more complex than our
computer program example. So can you understand logical reason?
That is overwhelming evidence of an intelligent creator.

"Under slightly reducing conditions, the Miller-Urey action does not
produce
amino acids, nor does it produce the chemicals that may serve as the
predecessors of other im****tant biopolymer building blocks. Thus, by
challenging the assumption of a reducing atmosphere, we challenge the very
existence of the "prebiotic soup", with its richness of biologically
im****tant organic compounds. Moreover, so far, no geochemical evidence for
the existence of a prebiotic soup has been published. Indeed, a number of
scientists have challenged the prebiotic soup concept, noting that even if
it existed, the concentration of organic building blocks in it would have
been too small to be meaningful for prebiotic evolution." Noam Lahav

"There is no agreement on the extent to which metabolism could develop
independently of a genetic material. In my opinion, there is no basis in
known chemistry for the belief that long sequences of reactions can
organize
spontaneously -- and every reason to believe that they cannot. The problem
of achieving sufficient specificity, whether in aqueous solution or on the
surface of a mineral, is so severe that the chance of closing a cycle of
reactions as complex as the reverse citric acid cycle, for example, is
negligible." Orgel, Leslie (1998) "The origin of life -- a review of facts
and speculations," Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 23 (Dec 1998): 491-495.

"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for
adjusting
the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light
and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have
been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the
highest degree." - Charles Darwin, Origin of Species, chapter
"Difficulties"
"I think, however, that we must go further than this and admit that the
only
acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to
physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject a theory that we
do not like if the experimental evidence sup****ts it." - H. Lipson, "A
Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physics Bulletin, 31 (1980), p. 138
"Not one change of species into another is on record ... we cannot prove
that a single species has been changed." - Charles Darwin, My Life &
