No Problem !

Let's build a machine that can replicate itself. Let us start with something simple such as a watch, we'll design this watch, or machine so that it will act independently. It will have to replicate itself by using parts it generates within itself, using matter which it uses from it's outside environment. For simplicity let's say it takes 10,000 bits of information for the inner workings of the watch itself. Just to exist, not to do any function other than keep time. Sort of like a human heart. When I say 10,000 bits of information, I'm being extremely generous on the low side.
Now let's add diagnostic capabilities to our little creation, another 100,000 bits of information. Now we have a watch, or machine that can look within itself, and see if something is going wrong with it's operation. But now we have to build into our machine the capability to repair itself. So let's add 1,000,000 bits of information, and of course when we do this we are adding storage for all the bits of information, access to them in an orderly manner, and storage for this information.
But we still haven't approached replicating itself. Just as in the human body we would have to have some kind of cell reproducer, a DNA code sort of mechanism which could pass on the entire bulk of information, and be able to build itself, with the help of the parent machine until it could be spit out so to speak. Able to function on it's own. Let's be generous, and say we need 1,000,000,000 bits of information to do this. Now remember that this theoretical machine is beyond our scientific capabilities at this point, and for a long time into the future. ( infinity would be a closer assumption ) Also we have to remember size is an important point, we'll use the earth as our environment for launching our little creation.
Now once we have our machine is running, diagnosing itself, repairing itself, and ready to replicate itself , it will have to start the process, wait ... How will it know to replicate itself ? Hmmm ... We might have a problem, how do we help it know when to replicate itself ? We'll need more information, like a reason to be ! Let's add another 1,000,000,000,000 bits of information so that it knows it is suppose to replicate itself, and live in it's environment.
Seems we have designed a machine which needs allot of information, information which by the way is being given from outside of it's being. This little machine will exist, will have a purpose, and will replicate itself within it's new environment. This little machine contains billions of bits of information, and it is still not as sophisticated as a small cell, and the most important thing to notice is all of the information that it contains within it is being given to it by a outside source, it's existance is by design. Oh, don't forget we are building the original watch! The scientific community is teaching us that all that is around us happened by chance. Yet if I tell you of our little creation you'll start thinking as the scientists do that it may be possible. Hmmm ... Our own bodies our millions of times more sophisticated, and we are being told that we happened by chance.
The scientists are WRONG !
In fact it's so stupid that it's hard to believe they can be so out of touch with the creation around them. So you see science has a major problem, we have an outside designer. Now our little machine would exist because we chose to build it, it didn't happen by chance. In fact the propability that something as small as a cell to even exist is astronomical. In fact even if there were a chance, statistically there wouldn't be enough time for it to happen. *Probability Theory. Yes we have a creator,
God!
What is even more amazing is how complex our own bodies are. A marvel in technology. A system which not only exists in it's environment, but does all that we want our little "Machine" to do, and is self healing. If our scientists would only open their hearts, as well as their minds they would be able to see how far they are from grasping the wonderful design God has made.
I have a theory on what is going on, approximately 6000 years ago God made the heavens, and the earth. And He made man to dwell in them, just as the Bible says!
