Can't?
YellowStone:
I can't say much but our God and Father can do anything. Has anyone studied a single cell? Saving everyone because he wills it HAS to be easier than creating a microscopic cell, the very living cell that is in one form or another, the building blocks of every living creature (plant, animal, bacteria etc) alive on earth.

Yellowstone,
I was interested to see you refer to the cell url in response to this thread. You are so correct and the link doesn't even touch on the half of it. I am one of those, dare I say it, scientists that are such a bad name to a lot of people who believe in God ;) . I am always amused when people find out what I do and starting asking questions...I have this disease, what causes it....as if science has the answers. Don't get me wrong, I am very interested in science and do this for a living and we have learned a lot about how the body works in the last 100 years, but the complexity of such a simple thing as a cell. The one thing that people who are studying science seem to struggle with the most as they get further into things is how much we don't know. There are no answers to the questions they have, we don't even know the questions and most answers we do have are partial and have only led to hundreds of additional questions. It frightens almost everyone I've seen come through. I try to tell people as gently as I can that we just don't know the anwers to most of their questions and let them know what they dont' seem to understand...how incredibly complex a single cell is..let alone an entire body. I have met some really brilliant people (which I am definitely not!) and none of them can understand either. I have recently come to the conclusion that the human mind is not capable of understanding, of processing, the complexitites of even one single type of cell. How are we to understand the human body then?
What gets me is how very beautiful and complex and amazing life is. When I get scared that there is no God, no purpose (working with proselytizing athiests is a real struggle for me), I think about this....how complex life is. How could this result from mutation? If a principal of biology is that life can only come from life, where did the first life come from? The contradictions of that are enough to give me pause. The improbability of so many things going right even for just enough time for me to type this is unbelievable. And yet we live for years....it has to be a miracle that anything ever works. Also, with things made by man, it seems to me that the closer you get, the more detail you look in, the more imperfections are revealed. Something that is really beautiful that is made by man from a distance is often scarred and imperfect when viewed magnified. But the things God made, they only seem to get more beautiful the closer in you look. Erg, sorry if this is off topic. I can't see God as not being capable of anything when I think about the incredible detail and perfection of what He made.
YellowStone:
Mongoose, what a wonderful written post. :)
I'm not so sure that this discussion is totally off topic, as it relates very well with the following:
Rom 1:20
* For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Science is the ability to produce solutions in some problem domain. Who says that it cannot prove intelligent design, ie. our creator.
God has given us so much to appreciate if only we have the eyes to see.
Great Post! :)
