Evolution of the Computer Engineer

Let's look at living things, from the eyes of a computer engineer. Three components are necessary:

1. Hardware
2. Software
3. Intelligence and ability to learn

Then we have to consider that so far, software has not been able to create any intelligence or ability to learn analogous to a human. Immediately the analogy fails, for computers can never be people, no matter how many Asimov stories we read. Next the software must be able to somehow influence the hardware. Much like a robot programmed to repair itself, and construct and programme new robots just like it. So the software must be able to cause the hardware to produce a manufacturing facility, and to produce the software to programme that facility. This facility must be able to produce the hardware and software which the first had, such that it too will be able to reproduce.

Now then, how did this hardware and software come about initially? Well, a computer engineer must have made it. It couldn't arise by itself. Neither the hardware, nor software could arise spontaneously. No amount of randomness and time can overcome a logical and mathematical impossibility - one will never be equal to two. If this is the case with something so simple as a computer or robot, then how much more is it impossible for the far more complex human?

What could provide the information, the software and hardware to produce the manufacturing facility and operate it to produce hardware and software with the same ability? Computer engineers ought to know that goo-to-you-via-the-zoo evolution is absurd. Chemists also ought to know this, physicists ought to, and especially biologists. But the atheist can't figure it out. He tries, but his a priori determination to hate the God that he doesn't believe in, keeps him from seeing sense.

Psalm 53

¹The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
²God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
³Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
⁴Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
⁵There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
⁶Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

But even to these, people no worse depraved sinners than myself apart from the grace of God, Christ sends the call of the Gospel:

"O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart."
- Proverbs 8:5

May the simple be wise, may Jacob rejoice, and may Israel be glad, for the glory of Christ!
