Richmond Evidence For Faith

There are many mysteries related to the origin of life. When we thought cellular contents as protoplasm, there was one mystery. What is protoplasm. Now we know that protoplasm is not a thing, but the cell is filled with marvelous machines. And every machine has an origin shrouded in mystery. At the top of my list is the ribosome.

The ribosomes are molecular machines made of proteins and RNA which make other proteins from messenger RNA. Ribosomes make the proteins to build ribosomes. Come learn a little about what makes life work and see the hand of God.

The genetic code represents the intersection of biochemistry, engineering, and logic. Fascinating in its own right, the genetic code also has theological implications. How did the code originate? Are there laws that necessitate a particular code or any code? Could the code have arisen by chance? How are the molecules engineered to work with ribosomes? What kind of minds has it taken for humans to come to understand the genetic code? What kind of mind would it take to think of the code originally?

Come learn a little about something at the core of your physical life and ponder what it implies about your spiritual life.

Tiny organelles called mitochondria, found in large numbers in most cells, constitute the power plant in our body. Our lungs take in the air we breathe and separate out the oxygen. Our digestive tract converts the food we eat into glucose. Mitochondria, in the process of cellular respiration, process the glucose and oxygen into adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the energy currency we need to live. Despite their tiny size, mitochondria are incredibly complex. Did they evolve? Or might they have been designed? We will see that there is much evidence supporting a design hypothesis.
