HARUN YAHYA
Turkish evolutionist, is highly enlightening:
The heart of the problem is how the mitochondria have acquired this
feature (that is, of using oxygen to produce energy), because attaining
this feature by chance even by one individual, requires extreme proba-
bilities that are incomprehensible... The enzymes providing respiration
and functioning as a catalyst in each step in a different form make up
the core of the mechanism. A cell has to contain this enzyme sequence
completely, otherwise it is meaningless. Here, despite being contrary to
biological thought, in order to avoid a more dogmatic explanation or
speculation, we have to accept, though reluctantly, that all the respira-
tion enzymes completely existed in the cell before the cell first came in
contact with oxygen. 14
This extract is one example of the damage inflicted on evolu-
tionary logic. Despite all these facts and even though evolutionists
refuse to admit it, this situation has only one explanation:
Mitochondria were created by a Possessor of intelligence that knows
the human body and the vegetable kingdom in the greatest detail. In
other words, the power that created the mitochondria is God, "Who
encompasses all things in His knowledge" (Qur'an, 6:80). Another
verse stresses the same truth in the following manner: "What! Does
He not encompass all things?" (Qur'an, 41:54)
