(Some of) The Sine Qua Nons of Eukaryotic Cellular Life

This video (see below) produced by Harvard University logically -- albeit unintentionally -- helps us to unmask the incredible naiveté in evolutionists who believe that a biological chemistry arose spontaneously, and that it gradually and purposelessly/accidentally developed a stable, eukaryotic cellular structure able to reproduce itself because it is equipped with: 1) a programmed DNA molecule; 2) a process (mitosis) that results in the cell's duplication and distribution of its DNA-informed chromosomes; 4) a centrosome for microtubular organization and for cellular structure; 5) certain RNA molecules for bearing instructions for manufacture of various proteins that must only occur at just the right time for them to occur; 6) ribosomes that actually translate the RNA's DNA-based instructions into proteins, and that assist the folding of a certain protein in the only way that that particular protein may be folded for its shape as a functional (life-supporting), 3-dimensional structure -- see the video at 4:50-4:56 --, this owing to a mind-boggling selection process so that "Science magazine [(2007)] framed the problem this way: “Can we predict how proteins will fold? Out of a near infinitude of possible ways to fold a the protein, only the correct folding is selected in just tens of microseconds. The same task takes 30 years of computer time””; 7) mitochondria that puts in place a process/mechanism for the flow of energy in a cell through respiration, and for regulation of cellular metabolism; 8) a cell membrane that houses the cytoplasm for keeping it screened off from an extra-cellular environment, though this cell membrane must be a selectively permeable structure that can allow only certain molecules to enter and exit the cell; and 9) a 'fleet' of vesicles for traveling along the microtubules in the transport of the molecules to and from the cell membrane. 
The 9 things listed immediately above are just some of the dynamic processes needed -- the sine qua nons -- for the existence of an eukaryotic cell, all of which must have been in place in one fell swoop in the original progenitor cell for that eukaryotic cell to have come into existence as the first of its kind. It is unreasonable to postulate that such a cell gradually became what it must have been in order that it became the first of its kind. It is not in accordance with the scientific method when one asserts that all this organization and processes we call a biological life form -- an eukaryotic cell -- came into existence through mindless (undesigned) electro-chemical processes. Such a life form, we reasonably say, requires a creator owning the wisdom and power needed for bringing into existence a form of life able to duplicate its existence for continual presence of that kind of life form on earth. Atheism is a rejection of reason, and is itself a kind of idolatry, because atheists are among those who have turned the glory of the incorruptible God into earthly (corruptible) forms of life that they unreasonably imagine had no need of a Supreme Being (Almighty God) for their existence on earth. (Compare Romans 2:20-23.)
Yes, we owe our existence to the God of the Bible. He has a purpose for mankind's existence. If we want everlasting life, then we must come into a fine relationship with this God, whose name is Jehovah. JW.ORG will help you to find the Bible's answers to 'What does God want from me?' 'Why is there evil?' 'Will God do anything about it, and if so, when?' 'Why do we grow old and die?' 'What happens to us when we die?' 'Can the dead live again?' Also, feel free to ask any of Jehovah's Witnesses for a study of the Bible, which presently can be done through email, internet chat/messaging, and/or telephone at your convenience.
