It is possible to view the entire history of the universe as a story of complexity emerging again and again from simple systems under the influence of simple rules. The laws of physics bind together the most fundamental constituents of matter electrons and quarks into stable structures called atoms. Atoms themselves are subject to a new set of rules ... pushing and pulling one another, and combining into new forms molecules governed by the laws of chemistry.
Simple molecules of water and carbon dioxide, consisting of only a few atoms, can combine and interact in ever more complicated ways ... building more and more complex structures ... clumps and chains and rings. The rules of chemistry are universal. The same kinds of amino acids that we find in our own bodies can also be found in the cold depths of space.
At some point, very large and complex molecules become capable of something new. DNA molecules make copies of themselves. The chemical metabolism inside of a cell produces and stores energy ... energy that can be used for motion... and reproduction. The raw material of chemistry has given rise to a new kind of complex behavior one that we call life.
Large multi-cellular organisms involve a whole new class of structures ... cells produce tissues and organs and organisms of greater and greater complexity. Driven by natural selection, yet another set of laws, life has been able to diversify and take on more and more complex forms. From the first organism that could sense its environment and react to light, neurons led to nerves and nerves led to brains.
At this level of complexity, an organism can gather information with its senses and then use that information to influence the future what a concept! The human brain is perhaps the most complex structure in the universe, and in its complexity comes the most mysterious phenomenon that science has attempted to understand - consciousness.
At this level of complexity, not only does an organism gather information and use it to influence the future, but it can take notice of itself doing this. It can influence the future with an intention to change itself. It can also cause changes to its species through direct modification of its own blueprint genetic manipulation, and directed evolution!
So, from three fundamental particles, we have now constructed an organism that is alive, conscious, self-aware, and has the ability to understand itself and the universe that it occupies how wonderfully complex.

Who made the first protons? Who made those chemical laws? If the laws of chemistry is universal, does not that mean there is a universal design? is't that design intelligent? If life happened by a random chemical interaction? how come it can not be done by intelligent beings in our scientific lab?
There is no devil and there is no god, there is just nothing, except us humans, and billion of planets and stars, wich maybe could housing other intelligent live, wich never heard about something like "god"... that's all childish superstition.
Yes, he disproved the Theory of Spontaneous Generation, but HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF CHEMICAL EVOLUTION. The two theories are extremely different. His experiment showed that micro-organisms existed and were the cause of disease. He didn't challenge abiogenesis or chemical evolution because his time-frames were far, far, far, too small.
Also, the fact that we are still discovering brand new species shows that evolution is ongoing as we speak.
It wasn't chance, it was Natural Selection. Things that are good at making copies of themselves replicated, things that weren't good at making copies didn't.
You need to look into volcanic vents on the ocean floor. The reason that chemical evolution is the primary Theory is because that same pattern of interactions is happening every day in those vents.
Massive amounts of heat, radiation, and the addition of self-replicating chemical strands means that given enough time life will occur.
Self-replication in chemical strands occur because of the interactions of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Chemical strands that are more stable (the basic protein strands, DNA, etc.) duplicated because they were stable in the environment. If the environment was different, different strands would have been the stable ones and life would be staggeringly different.
Those beings would have their own fanatics trying to claim that their god "created" everything. They would be just as wrong.
People disbelieve God, because they love their sin, and do not want to deal with the fact that there will be a day, when they answer for it before their Creator. Atheism and all forms of idolatry, are ways of trying to get around this day of accountability. Most people, want to see justice done, but there is never justice in this world. Perfect justice will happen after death. While we are alive, God gives us grace. He provides the needs of those who love Him, and those who hate Him.
You're truly stupid. -_- God damns those who don't follow him because he's a pissy little brat throwing a tantrum. Unconditional love is something he can not give. Because he's far too jealous to even consider it. I love you!!! GO TO HELL!!!!
U are far 2 prideful & arrogant 2 even see God, because U want to be god, just like your father the devil. Unconditional love is something God certainly gives U right now. Your heart is still beating, & U are still breathing. God could stop either at any moment in time. His grace & mercy are poured out on every living person. When we die, the grace will only continue, on those who have turned from their sin, & turned 2 God. If we choose separatioh from God now, we will be separated in eternity.
