I've always been a bit discombobulated with the notion of Irreducible Complexity. I realize that this theory got ripped apart during the Dover trial, but I never understood the idea that life is too complex to have a natural beginning. I get what they are saying, but how then does God fit in. He was just so complex that he conveniently always existed? God had no beginning, is infinite and has infinite wisdom, yet its the million dollar jackpot that life formed under the right conditions in a window of almost 1 billion years? Doesn't make sense to me. If one person per country bought a lottery ticket for 900 million years I am sure someone would win.. right?

I would love to get schooled on this. 12 years of Sunday School and this issue was constantly side-stepped.
