When scientists first started actually seeing living cells, they looked like little specks of simple jelly. Science has come a long, long way from there. They've identified all the components of cells, right down to the atoms in the molecules in the chemicals. And all the discoveries of overwhelming complexity have really changed the narrative.
Here's how Dr. Stephen C. Meyer explains it:
"During the last half of the twentieth century, advances in molecular biology and biochemistry have revolutionized our understanding of the miniature world within the cell.
"Research has revealed that cells--the fundamental units of life--store, transmit, and edit information and use that information to regulate their most fundamental metabolic processes.
"Far from characterizing cells as simple "homogeneous globules of plasm" as did Ernst Haeckel and other nineteenth-century biologists, biologists now describe cells as, among other things, "distributive real time computers" or complex information processing systems."
