Macro-evolutionist deny this intelligent design, as they depend on the concept that cellular structure and function is simple enough for chance development. Despite scientific claims of its simplicity, cells have mechanical structures that supersede our present day ability in biology, electronics and mechanics. Mechanisms such as the intricate and motor-like flagellum in cells astound and baffle present day technology. “The Case for a Creator” brings up another cellular structure that is improbable to accidentally developing called DNA, which has over three billion units of specifically organized
