The most amazing thing happened to me the other day. I was walking through the woods, miles from civilization. In the vast expanse of wilderness I came across one of the new iPhone 6 Plus devices that are all the rage. It was incredibly immaculate, beautifully designed, flawless in function. Here’s my conclusion: this iPhone was created by a happenstance of molecules bumping into each other, a random combustion of millions of improbable probabilities that resulted in a wonderfully complex piece of machinery. It spontaneously formed on its own.

Now I could scream from the mountaintops that this iPhone self-created, but the rest of humanity would know different. Apple makes iPhones. There is a creator behind the beautifully designed, incredibly complex phone enjoyed by millions. We can’t comprehend in our minds the possibility that something as complex as an iPhone being the result of random molecules bumping into each other. A creation that complex obviously has a creator.

As silly as it would be to make the assertion that my iPhone was a random combustion of trillions of molecules, many make that same assertion when it comes to Creation itself. And yet this claim is even more far-fetched, because Creation is so much more infinitely complex. Try and comprehend the width and breath of the universe; how the earth is the exact distance it needs to be from the sun and is tilted at the exact angle needed to sustain life; how our atmosphere is made up of exactly the right composition of gases and molecules needed for humans to live, something not found on any other planet to date; how incredibly complex and interconnected our ecosystem is; how extravagantly designed the human body is; how you have a mind and conscience (something science has yet to fully explain) to even comprehend this blog post. Creation is so much more infinitely complex than an iPhone. Something this complex was designed by a Creator. We call him God.

Some will always argue that we’re nothing more than a random explosion of molecules, but to me, that takes a much bigger leap of faith than a claim that an iPhone self-created. For me, the simplest and most logical conclusion is that we were created by Intelligent Design. We were created by God.
