Continuing with Werner Gitt, let’s consider the next implication derived from his laws of information…
3. There is only one God almighty, who is able to accomplish His will in the creation of life.
Given that the sender ingeniously encoded the information into the DNA molecules, and designed the complex bio-machinery that decodes the information and carries out all the processes of biosynthesis, and created all the details of the original construction and reproductive capacities of all living things, we can conclude that the sender accomplished his purpose and, therefore, must be powerful.
In conclusion 2, we determined on the basis of laws of information that the sender must be all knowing and eternal. Now we consider the question of the extent of His power. “Power” encompasses all that which would be described under headings such as strength, creativity, capability and might. Power of this sort is absolutely necessary in order to have created all the varieties of self-replicating, living creatures.
Because of His infinite knowledge, the sender knows how DNA molecules can be programmed. But this knowledge is not sufficient to fashion such molecules in the first place. Taking the step from mere knowledge to practical application requires the capacity to be able to build all the necessary bio-machinery to support life.
Research into the living cell enables man to observe these systems. But we do not see them come about other than through a coordinated process of cellular replication which requires the same bio-machinery to transmit and carry out the replication programs. Thus they had to originally be constructed by the sender. He had the task of creating the immense variety of all the basic biological types [created kinds], including the construction specifications for their biological machinery. There are no physio-chemical tendencies in raw matter for complex information-bearing molecules to form spontaneously. Without creative power, life would not have been possible.
The obvious question here is the same as considered in conclusion 2: who gave the sender this power? If we proceed as shown before, we come to the conclusion that there is one sender who must be all powerful.
Man can’t even begin to quantify the enormous degree of power required to create life. He plays around with cellular parts as if he is building a cell. Such deceit and fraud reveals that he has no appreciation of the complexity of life nor the power of God. But the Bible shows us the real extent of the sender’s power by presenting Him as all powerful—omnipotent, almighty: “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty’” [Revelation 1:8]. “For nothing is impossible with God” [Luke 1:37].
