How does evolution explain the complexity of protein synthesis or DNA replication? Can evolution work knowing that these incredibly complex mechanisms exist?The theory of evolution does quite well with explaining the appearance of design. There is no actual "design" when one looks closely at life.
Look, I'm no biologist, but it doesn't take much explaining to see that life at the very least looks designed. DNA is a language of sorts, and isn't language a form of intelligence? Dawkins' book The Blind Watchmaker is based on the idea that everything looks designed but somehow isn't. Can you prove that we aren't designed in any way: that there is this blind watchmaker you call evolution?

Where is your evidence?If you look at life more closely it was clearly the product of evolution. Talk to a biologist. They may be able to help you.
It is certainly a set of instructions which allows the cell to perform all of it's functions, and instructions are always written in some kind of language.And no, DNA is not a language in the sense that you are using the word. You just performed an equivocation fallacy.

Well, abiogenesis is quite the problem without God, isn't it? I suppose if you want to prove there is no designer needed for life, then that of all places should be where you start.Actually you are asking questions that are more in the realm of abiogenesis. And it is far too late to get into this more difficult subject. What you just did was the logical error of moving the goal posts. When someone does this I will usually not discuss the topic until they admit that evolution occurred. Understanding how life itself works is a subject that biologists are just beginning to understand. What you don't seem to understand is that we don't need to know how life started exactly to know that it evolved.
Yes, says the scientists who refuse to believe the global flood. Where did all of these fossils come from? Don't bones need to be covered quickly to fossilize? Is evolution really the only viable model of interpretation, or is that simply your bias?The fossil record can only be explained by using the theory of evolution... Again, these can only be explained by the theory of evolution.
I'm curious, you admit that life appears designed, but how does not not indicate design? We admit that everything beautiful and complex that we have made (art, technology, etc) is designed, but heavens forbid we ourselves were! I guess I should just wait for that evidence you all have.
How do simple chemical reactions cause cells to make proteins and replicate as needed by the rest of the body? How do cells communicate without a language?No, DNA just causes a series of chemical reactions. People put the meaning into it. It does not have an inherent meaning. Once again you are trying to commit an equivocation error.

If there was a selection mechanism in place, computers could indeed om from junk yards.Indeed. Is it logical to believe that man came from soup? Do computers come from junkyards?
Pulling from Dawkins I see. Can you prove that the way this giraffe's nerve loops around the heart is somehow a bad design? What is a good design, in your view?Because when one looks closely at life one sees only bad design that is overcome with what are basically kludges. The recurrent laryngeal nerve of the giraffe goes all the way down to its heart and circles around and goes back up to its larynx which is just past its mouth. The original setup made sense in our fish ancestors, and once a "design" is set it is almost impossible to rewire it. As a result life is stuck with inefficiencies that could have been actually designed in a far superior way.
Hormones, mostly. Sometimes the sympathetic nervous systemHow do simple chemical reactions cause cells to make proteins and replicate as needed by the rest of the body?
Messenger RNA.How do cells communicate without a language?
I'd appreciate a non-hypothetical example of life arising without a creator.No, it is merely complex. We first need to understand how life itself works before we can understand how it occurred on its own. And we are barely beginning to do that. Meanwhile more and more questions about abiogenesis keep getting answered. There are not enough answers to take it out of the realm of the hypothetical, but scientists are getting rather close.

Okay, where did the selection mechanism come from in the case of life?If there was a selection mechanism in place, computers could indeed om from junk yards.
Well, things like the human retina are clearly inferior in layout to other examples, like the octopus' retina.Pulling from Dawkins I see. Can you prove that the way this giraffe's nerve loops around the heart is somehow a bad design? What is a good design, in your view?
You are just explaining it with more evidence that cells communicate in some form or fashion.Hormones, mostly. Sometimes the sympathetic nervous system
