The Problem of Complexity The presence of complexity – interdependent parts that do not function unless other parts are also present – poses another major problem for evolution. For instance, a muscle is useless without a nerve going to the muscle to direct its contracting activity. But both the muscle and the nerve are useless without a complicated control mechanism in the brain to direct the contracting activity of the muscle and correlate its activity with that of other muscles. Without these three essential components, we have only useless parts. In a process of gradual evolutionary changes, how does complexity evolve? -Dr. Ariel Roth

The Problem of Complexity The complexity of the simplest imaginable living organism is mind-boggling. You need to have the cell wall, the energy system, a system of self repair, the reproduction system, and means for taking in “food” and expelling “waste,” a means for interpreting the complex genetic code and replicating it, etc., etc. The combined telecommunication systems of the world are far less complex and yet no one believes they arose by chance. -Dr. Stephen Grocott

If we don’t believe that God spoke everything into being as Genesis records, the rest of the Bible is useless.

Our being God’s friend depends on us, not on Him. Biblically obedience is required to be called a friend of God.

God didn’t send His son because we were WORTHY of being redeemed, but because we NEEDED redemption to have a relationship with Him and He did that even as disobedient as we were.

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
Measured heaven with a span
And calculated the dust of the earth in a measure?
Weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance?

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. ²² For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd,
And he shall perform all My pleasure,
Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,”
And to the temple, “Your foundation shall be laid.” ’

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 

So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.

Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house. I speak with him face to face, even plainly

(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)

You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; ⁸ but because the Lord loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers,

For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, ²⁴ knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. ²⁵ But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.
