Which Came First? The DNA or the RNA?

We all know the old question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" It is a question evolutionists can't specifically answer. However another such question that is more important is "which came first, DNA or RNA?"Okay I know, the topic alone is daunting. We have seen the pictures like those above and they are way too technical and over our heads. Most of us try to purge any knowledge of these out of our brains as soon as we finish our Biology final. However, the concepts of DNA and RNA are easy to grasp. Just remember these two bits of information:

1) DNA = coded information
2) RNA = the code itself

For instance, below is a code of instructions. Please read it and tell me what it is instructing you to do:

What? You can't? Well, this code is equivalent to DNA. It is all the information you need for something, but what? Without knowing the code, it is meaningless mumbo jumbo.

This is the same in our cells. Without the code (RNA), the instructions (DNA) are meaningless. So to help you out, listed below is the code which is equivalent to the RNA along with a new set of instructions for you to follow. Are you ready?

CODE:

Instructions:




Ok, so you have the code so you know what this second set of instructions is asking you to do, right? No? Of course you don't because you now have the code, but none of the instruction. So your code is useless. Remember, your code is your RNA. Without the information (DNA) your code (RNA) is useless. It is only when you have the two together that they are of any use. This is exactly the same as is the case with DNA and RNA. It is only when they are both together that they are of any use.

So, back to the question, "which came first DNA or RNA?" We see it could not have been either. Both are required to have originated at the same time. However, the chance that either developed naturally by chance, random processes is so remote as to be statistically impossible. But I will grant secular scientists that 'statistically impossible' and 'actually impossible' are not the same.

What that means is that though the chance is so remote as to realistically be impossible, there still is the slightest chance that DNA could assemble IF the information were available in the right form. There is the slightest chance that RNA could assemble IF the code were available in the correct form. But the chance that BOTH of these could happen completely independent of each other, at exactly the same time and place in the universe, by chance, random process and that they would be in perfect synch with each other is zero. It simply could not happen without the intervention of an intelligent, outside force purposely guiding the information and the code to work together to form a coherent combination of information structured into a specific instruction that can be decoded correctly.

The only thing left to determine is who or what was this intelligent force. As an answer, the decoding of the above instructions is as follows:

"Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto you're own understanding."

PS - Oh, to answer the question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg", Genesis says that all birds were made together on day 5. So the answer is the chicken!!

Evolution - Insulting Intelligence

I have to warn you on this one before I start. I am going to insult your intelligence. Please bear with me. You see, we have all seen the typical "Evolution of Man" pictures like this one.

But have you really thought about what it is trying to say? Does this make sense?

I am going to propose a 'theory' of my own evolution for you. You see, according to evolution, all we see started out of a "big bang" where nothing exploded and created matter in the form of Hydrogen and Helium. From these evolved everything including the elements which includes aluminum. So according to their 'theory', aluminum is a given from evolution.

EVOLUTION OF THE CAN!!!

So, millions and millions of years ago, there was a sandy beach. During a lightening storm there were strikes on land and sea. One of them at sea struck and formed completely new and complex structures from where they had never existed anywhere in the universe! Complex structures like amino acids, proteins, DNA, RNA and the complex codes in them that together created life from non living elements!

A second strike of lightening wasn't as fortunate. It struck the beach, but it only fused together the aluminum that was there into a small, round, dish-like structure that collected the rain from the storm.

Through the next few millions of years, the new life from the first strike, evolved more and more complex structures, completely by chance that allowed it to move, absorb and process nutrients into life-sustaining energy and even reproduce! The aluminum dish on the other hand evolved some low, rudimentary walls which allowed it to hold more liquid.

Millions of years more pass and the life form has become multi-celled. It has evolved motors and circulatory systems and immune systems. Again all by chance, all from scratch and all extremely functional! The aluminum dish? Higher walls, sigh.

More time passes and the life form evolves a brain, eyes and sight, the sense of touch, hearing and smell, as well as gills to breathe and fins for propulsion! The Aluminum dish has also made great sides in this period of time. It has gained a lid. Oh, and a tab so the liquid inside still can be accessed.

Yet more millions of years and our life form has evolved feet and legs, lungs to breathe air, come aground and evolved new eyes and new senses like the ability to smell. All done completely by chance, random process from never-existing materials or plans! Our little can has progressed too. It has added specks of color because the lady cans prefer male cans with a sense of style.

We watch millions more years pass and our life form has developed hollow bones wings for flight or warm blooded creatures better adapted for new environments, complex brains that can reason and think. Eventually this life form's bones and muscles all change to allow it to walk on two legs, have feelings, make decisions, understand morality and type blogs on computers! Our can has added more color which makes it more appealing to the lady cans and can now be found in family units of six.

Of corse, along this evolutionary line of our little can, there were some mutations. These produced cans that looked a little different, but they were all still cans. Other fossils of cans that have been found were thought to be missing links between the steps, but were simply cans that had suffered from age, abuse and other deficiencies.

Okay, okay, I know you are well into thinking I have lost my mind. You know full well that the can did not evolve. I mean, just look at it and its complexity. It was obviously designed by an intelligent mind for its purpose, right? Yet what about the other half of the story above? The little life form? You laugh at that too because it is blatantly wrong. It is missing so many immensely complex steps as to be nonsense. The process I typed was so over-simplified that it is barely a representation of what happened at all.

Wait, what? A can evolving is impossible because of its obvious design yet evolving a human IS possible? A human which is infinitely more complex than a can? In fact, pick any one aspect of a human, say the eye and sight, the immune system, consciousness, reproduction, even a simple bacteria cell inside a human. Each of these are individually infinitely more complex than a can. So why is it an insult to our intelligence that a can evolved when we are demanded by secular science to believe that all of the components that make man, evolved from nothing, on its own, with no information on how to construct any of the new additions, completely by random chance? Now who is insulting your intelligence??
