“If you see a simple house – a reinforced concrete structure covered with several layers of stone blocks, layers of plaster, paint, electrical system, plumbing, security cameras, etc. – you can state with absolute certainty that builders made it (and therefore objectively a human intelligence and strength) even if you no longer see the builders.
If this is true, how could you say when you see a very complex human body – equipped with an articulated bone structure, covered with different organs and layers of living flesh, skin color, nerve implants and countless vein tubes where blood flows, eye ‘cameras’, ‘microphones’ of the ears, ‘speaker’ of the mouth, etc. – that this living human structure far superior to the other was made by itself and not, rather, by means of a Higher Intelligence and superhuman strength, even though you cannot physically see the Superior Creator of the living structure (as in the case of the house builders). Tell me: could you make a human body, or a living animal, or a simple living plant like a lemon or flower – unlike the aforementioned dead house?
Rightfully – to those who do not want to admit the evidence of the facts of this objective comparison, Sacred Scripture says: ‘Do not be like horse and mule without intelligence!’
(cf Ps 32:9).”
