Wording of this Handout:
Life from space.
Many scientists today are realizing that life is too complicated to have come about by accident. Many years ago scientists thought life was very simple, but today they know about DNA and molecules, and proteins, and atoms and all the millions of little bits inside living cells, so they know the chances of life just appearing out of nowhere is IMPOSSIBLE!
You'd think that these scientists would accept what Christians have been saying for hundreds of years - that God created life - but no, these scientists are now saying that life landed on the earth from somewhere else.
The trouble with this idea is if life came from space, how did it appear somewhere else. Pushing the problem on to another planet still leaves us with the same problem.
And if life was put together by some very clever aliens, who made the aliens? And who made the aliens who made the aliens? We never go back far enough, because there always had to be life in order to make life!
The answer to this problem is the creator God of the Bible. Just as we can 'create' a machine, God can create life. The greater life (God) has created a lesser form of life (Mankind), yet too many people fail to understand this simple truth.
The Bible says: "So God in his own image, in the image of God created him, male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27
