Complexity and Does God Exist
QUESTION: How does Complexity Answer "Does God Exist"?ANSWER:
Another argument for the Existence of God is Biological Complexity. When reviewing the question, “Does God Exist,” look to the Argument from Complexity.
- The Premises:
- The more complex something is, the more likely it is a product of design.
- Biological complexity is more complex than all man-made design.
The Conclusion: Biological complexity is a product of design.
Premise 1 of the Argument from Complexity is true because denial would be unreasonable, requiring us to argue that the more complex something is, the less it requires an intelligence.
Premise 2 of the Argument from Complexity is true since even the simplest cell is more functionally complex than a modern city.
The Complexity argument does not commit a false analogy because:
-
While life has the ability to reproduce and man-made designs do not, the first self-replicating cell would have acquired its vast complexity without the ability to reproduce.
- The fact that life forms have the ability to reproduce shows how much more complex biological complexity is compared to man-made design. Life is self-sustaining, self-repairing, and self-reproducing.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. God, the Father, sent His only Son to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in Him. Jesus, the creator and eternal Son of God, who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that He died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buried, and rose from the dead according to the Bible. If you truly believe and trust this in your heart, receiving Jesus alone as your Savior, declaring, "Jesus is Lord," you will be saved from judgment and spend eternity with God in heaven.
