Gerald L. Schroeder On the Complexity of Life Forms

Gerald L. Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God

(New York: The Free Press; 2001), p. 63.

The laws of nature that govern interactions among atoms are simple and fixed.

They produce repetitive formations, such as the crystals at the Dead Sea.

Being highly repetitive, they contain little novelty.

They do not produce the complex, information-rich molecules we find in life.

There is no clue in nature as to how these simple laws could induce the non-repetitive, multi-faceted information we associate with the genetic code or the proteins made from the information stored in those genetic codes.
