DNA is the code of life - the blue-print of life. Somehow (and its irrelevant to this discussion), small mutations of this code have allowed life to 'evolve' over time... so that DNA has also evolved through time with the life it instigates.I don't know the exact details, but suffice to say that DNA is extremely complex and comprised of many-many different complex-molecules... even for a small organism. There is more 'information' encoded in even simple DNA than can be comprehended by the human mind... and probably most computers too.So, let's contemplate the absolute origins of life itself, close to 4 billion years ago. Now, even in the *first* organisms to have DNA, the information encoded within this simple organism must still be enormous. A 'simple cell' is not so simple as you might imagine. It is an ordered mechanism, comprised of precise and specific atoms/molecules throughout, which must do a specific job to maintain harmony throughout the organism, help sustain its existence through the absorption of energy, move (perhaps), excrete, and reproduce a near perfect copy of itself. Now, this still may sound simple to you, but when you realise that mankind does not yet have the technology/intelligence to create such a thing himself, you'll realise that the design of even this simplest of things is extraordinarily complex. This is highly relevant to what I eventually aim to say, because it shows how complex DNA actually is - EVEN AT THE ORIGINS of life itself. The complexity of DNA is astronomically mind-blowing. The information encoded within even the smallest of strands is beyond human comprehension.Now the crunch question. Where did this initial complexity come from, nearly4-billion years ago?We're talking about ultra-complexity here, which even at the onset of life, had the information encoded within itself to create a singular mechanism that could reproduce itself, eat (absorb sunlight, etc.), excrete, and which must do all of these things within a specific environment (water; temperature-range, etc.).There was very little time between the formation of water on Earth, to life itself. DNA had very little time to come together (evolve), and anyway, without actually existing in life itself, DNA cannot reproduce itself, which means that DNA could not have evolved prior to life.I think that there may be sufficient proof here to show that the creation of life was a creation of *instant* order and complexity (the DNA). I believe that there may be an argument here to prove that life did not 'evolve' on this planet - it was either 'introduced' to this planet, or was created by a being of supreme intelligence.This means that we're either aliens, or children of a God.What say ye?
