The complexity of the cell, in particular DNA, which was not understood during the time of Darwin would now throw Darwin's theory of Natural Selection into chaos.
In a previous post, I talked about the principle of Irreducible Complexity as a major obstacle to Darwin's theory of Natural Selection. There are many more examples of complex structures that could not have come about by natural selection. These complex structures need ALL of the elements to be present and functioning together, and not gradually building up as Evolutionary theory prescribes.
Evolutionists cite laboratory experiments that were able to produce a molecule of water by passing an electric current in a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen as an example of the spontaneous phenomena that could produce the building blocks of life. They say lightning could have hit a primordial gas to form water and start the chain of life.
That experiment does not even come close to approximating the astounding complexity
required in the composition of a single strand of DNA. Amino Acids have a property known as Chirality. To illustrate this property, amino acids are termed "right handed" or "left handed", referring to their structures. A DNA chain must be composed of hundreds of amino acids that are either all "right handed" or all "left handed". This will allow the amino acids to bond to their opposite nucleotides and form DNA. A single error in the hundreds of amino acids renders the chain useless and DNA would not survive.
This is totally different from a single molecule of water. All laboratory attempts to produce amino acids have consistently produced equal proportions of "right handed" and "left handed" amino acids. Despite all the advances in scientific technique, separation of right handed from left handed amino acids has been impossible. The chance of these "pure" acids' natural occurrence is zero and thus, Natural Selection, Darwin's cornerstone theory, could never account for the formation of DNA, the basic building block of all living things.
It sure takes a lot of (blind) faith to believe in Evolution.

I know that it is impossible to convince you that your position is incorrect, but I would ask you to at least understand a few problems with your argument.
First and most important you cite complexity as being opposed to natural selection. You should be aware that natural processes are often complex, as is often their nature. DNA, RNA, amino acids are part of observable complex processes at this very moment in your own body. I could make a similar argument that your body is too complex to operate naturally and that every cell process (especially ones that have a property known as chirality) is powered by God. What scientists do is predict what each of those reactions will do based on previous observations. Complexity just means it is harder to predict or explain, not that the reaction doesn't take place.
Second, I doubt that you could find a single "evolutionist" (the word is actually scientist or biologist) that cite water formation as the explanation of life.
I would ask you to actually read about evolutionary biology and find out what is actually being said. Or at least be honest and take on faith your beliefs and not try to make scientific arguments.
P.S. Darwin did not talk about DNA, Watson and Crick did. But that was years later. And actually DNA is a chemical and is often manipulated by fairly simple means. And one last point, science is about reproducibility, not beliefs. Scientists are happy to understand that they cannot explain everthing, as it gives them goals to attain.
You have completely missed the point. Any sound scientific theory should be consistent including its explanation of origins. Darwin's principle of Natural Selection states that things in nature combine if they are useful for survival and by natural selection, discard those that are not useful. In its primal form, amino acids are either left-handed or right-handed. How can they combine from their primal forms to form DNA if their primal forms cannot exist in isolation? How can they combine and discard useless forms in obedience to Darwin's theory if those isolated right-handed or left-handed amino acids cannot exist in isolation? Natural Selection does not and cannot explain origins, much less complex structures. Darwinism is a failed theory.
