               created by God together with a perfect, faultless body.
                    Certainly this applies to all other living creatures as well. There
               is no difference between the first tiger to have walked the Earth and
               ones alive now. The elephant, whale, eagle and snake were all created
               in the first beginning, the same as they are now.


                    A Life Spent on the Unknown
                    The insulin molecule, which constitutes an impasse for evolu-
               tionists, is only one of the many hormones in the human body. And
               those other hormones present proofs at least as striking as insulin's.
                    Some of the hormones and enzymes that cells make but don't use
               are exported out, to be used by other cells at a considerable distance,
               which the original hormone-generating cells cannot recognize or
               know about in any way. Were the cells enlarged to the size of a man,
               the distances between them would be measured in kilometers. The cell
               does not know where and how the substances that it's produced with
               such care and effort will be used. But for its whole life, it continues
               producing these complex products, not knowing to what use they will
               be put (see Figure 5.8).
                    For example, cells that lie below the pituitary gland, which is

                Cells that secrete hormones carry out their production to suit target cells that
                would lie the equivalent of many kilometers away if they were the size of a
                human being. The diagram shows the hormone produced in the endocrine
                glands, reaching their target cells.
