"Science" is the name given to the knowledge that has accumulated as a result of man's quest to understand the world. "Science" is also the name given collectively to the methods used for gaining objective knowledge and insight about the cosmos. The methods of obtaining this knowledge have been refined and made more objective and reliable in each generation.

Creationists, differentiate between operational science and origins science. "Operational science" is defined as science which deals with observable, repeatable, and testable phenomenon such as the laws of gravity, the structure of the cell, or chemical reactions. "Origins science," on the other hand, deals with questions of an unobservable nature: hypotheses about events which only occurred once by their very nature, and which therefore cannot be repeated, tested, or observed.

A cell is generally defined as a single unit or compartment, enclosed by a border or wall, which is usually part of a bigger structure. In biological terms, a cell is the smallest living structural and functional unit of organisms.

Some organisms, such as bacteria, are unicellular, consisting of a single cell. Other organisms, such as humans, are multicellular or have many cells. Humans are composed of an estimated 100 trillion cells and generate somewhere near 1 millions new cells per second[1] Each cell is an amazing world unto itself: it can take in nutrients, convert these nutrients into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce as necessary. Even more amazing is that each cell stores its own set of instructions for carrying out each of these activities.[2]

Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was an important a chemist and physicist who was devout in his beliefs as a Christian. He was self-taught while working in a bookstore, and began his work as a scientist almost fortuitously after seeing a lecture by the famous english scientists, Humphry Davy. Soon afterwards Faraday became Davy's apprentice, then was later appointed to be a Chemical Assistant at the Royal Institution. Although he is known mostly for his work in physics, Faraday discovered how to liquefy chlorine, and he discovered benzene.

"An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that, in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle." - Francis Crick (Nobel Prize Laureate in Physiology and Medicine), Life Itself, Its Origin and Nature (1981), p. 88.
