It's As Though The Cell Was Actually................"Designed"

If I didn't know any better, it would seem almost, just almost, like the cell was "designed" and had some kind of a purpose and direction. Just my opinion of course. But take a look at the complex functions of the Cell and judge for your self. In my opinion, The Creator's signature is saturated within in it.

You realise that you're making an argument from ignorance "I can't imagine how that cell came about naturally, ergo god made it" and maybe even one from incredulity "look how amazing that cell is, can you really believe it just happened?"

Of course, a scientist would tell you that the cell is our best indicator of evolution for a number of reasons. The eukaryotic cell has mitochondria, which are essentially leftover bacteria from a very ancient evolutionary history (lookup endosymbiont theory), secondly the cell has ribozymes which are believed to be leftover relics from the transition between nucleic acids and enzymes being together to eventually separated in all life. Thirdly and most importantly, the cell contains DNA, both mitochondrial and nuclear, which can be sequenced and compared with other cells' mDNA and DNA to draw a successful tree of life and common decent.

Anyhow, yes I do think the cell is very amazing, it's one of my interests, particularly for recombinant genomics and microbiology.
