It even has the name LUCA, for Last Universal Common Ancestor. But even evolutionists say that LUCA was anything but simple. Research from 2024 argues that LUCA had 2.5 million DNA ‘letters’ coding for 2,600 proteins.[color=oklch(0.21 0.034 264.665)]2[/color][/font][/color]

Some of our Creation Talk videos explain CRISPR as the basis for “one of gene technology’s sharpest tools”—to quote the Nobel Prize website about the 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. That is definitely a complex little cell![/font][/color]

Under evolutionary dating, Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago. This leaves only 300 million years, not Carl Sagan’s “billions and billions”, for dumb chemicals to form a sophisticated cell.[/font][/color]
