At the heart of the origin-of-life question lies an intricate puzzle: how could the building blocks of life — DNA, RNA, and proteins — have come together without intelligent guidance? Without both DNA and proteins present, neither can function to create a living cell, leading to a “chicken-and-egg” dilemma that challenges purely natural explanations.
Dr Don Batten dives into the science behind these questions, exploring the barriers to life’s spontaneous origin and examining claims that evolution bypasses the origin issue. His analysis reveals that life’s complexity, from amino acid chirality to the programming of DNA, remains an unsolved mystery, echoing the need for an intelligent Creator.
