The evidence that non-conscious elements can't create consciousness is proven:
Science doesn't know what life is and can't explain how life arose from the chaos of an explosion that sterilized the entire cosmos a trillion times over. "Natural selection" is no help. It can neither create life nor assist the first living thing to start functioning.
The first living cell would have had to come about by
pure chance. But this is mathematically impossible--and there is no arguing with mathematics.
There are approximately 10^80 atoms in the cosmos. Assuming 10^12 interatomic interactions
per second per atom, and 10^18 seconds (30 billion years) as twice the evolutionists' age of the universe, we get 10^110 (80 +12+18) as the total number of possible interatomic interactions in 30 billion years.
If each interatomic interaction produced a unique molecule, then no more than 10^110 unique molecules could have ever existed in the universe. About 1,000 protein molecules composed of amino acids are needed for the most primitive form of life. To find a proper sequence of 200 amino acids for a relatively short protein molecule has been calculated to require "about 10^130 trials. This is a hundred billion billion times the total number of molecules ever to exist in the history of the cosmos! No random process could ever result in even
one such protein structure, much less the full set of roughly 1000 needed in the simplest form of life.
"It is therefore sheer irrationality...to believe that random chemical interactions could ever [form] a viable set of functional proteins out of the truly staggering number of candidate possibilities. In the face of such stunningly unfavourable odds, how could any scientist with any sense of honesty appeal to chance interactions as the explanation for the complexity we see in living systems? To do so with conscious awareness of these numbers, in my opinion, represents a serious breach of scientific integrity" (John R. Baumgardener, Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory. See In Six Days, pp. 224-25).
Donald Page, an eminent cosmologist, calculated the odds of the universe existing 10^10^1240. Remember, the simplest
physical structure upon which natural selection might operate
must happen by chance--and it can't.
When anyone says that an eye, for example, couldn't happen by chance, Dawkins responds in an offended tone, "Well, of course an eye couldn't happen by chance! Natural selection is the very opposite of chance!" But Dawkins doesn't mention that natural selection is impossible without some living thing that can replicate itself.
You further prove the point because after all this time mankind still can't get abiogenesis to work; even if he could, it still shows it required our intelligence and could not come along from natural non-intelligent processes.
Of course we apply inductive reasoning to science which are repeatable observations over and over. You would have to show this is not evidence rather than just assert. Since we observe trillions of causes in nature this is an overwhelming preponderance of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, so we can be confident the universe always needs a cause which leads to infinite regress. But, logically, infinite regress can't be true because we would have had an eternity to have happened already, having had an eternity to do so. So based on this evidence, we know the universe needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space.
And the uncreated Creator is doubly confirmed for those most ignorant folks because you can't find a naturalistic explanation for the origin of the disciples' beliefs and their claim to have seen in various group settings Jesus alive from the dead. Since nature needs an explanation because a non-mind can't produce a mind this triply confirms God exists.
Remember, the cause for the universe can't be anything, for if it doesn't trump God of the Bible then it fails to compare to God Almighty. There is nobody who in person in history claimed he created the universe except Jesus. And nobody actually proved himself to be God but Jesus by His perfect resurrection proof of multiply eyewitness testimony of having seen Jesus in various group settings. The burden is on you.
Amen.
