A Biological Parable

One heart cell is talking to another. He remarks that the activity of their home, the rhythmic vibration, the way everything interacts, is a clear mark of design and purpose. Isn't it clear that their world was made by God? The other cell insists that this is not a necessary assumption. The mechanics of everything that they experience in their home can be explained by blind, purposeless order. Their lives, as their home, have no purpose. Of course, the truth is subtler and more complex than either realizes.
