Figure 1.2 Protein-producing ribosomes; energy-producing mitochondria; DNA,
the central information bank; the endoplasmic reticulum that facilitates trans-
port, the Golgi body that acts as a depot, the membrane which controls entry
into and exit from the cell; all of the enzymes that have a duty in all reactions
in the cell-with all of this planned, endless activity the cell operates like a per-
fectly run factory. Remember that the cell, harboring all of these processes, is a
trillion times smaller than any factory.

circumstances can this claim ever conform to scientific fact. Even the
most basic calculations have proven mathematically that, not only the
cell, but even just one of the millions of proteins that compose it, can-
not have come into existence as a result of coincidence. This shows
that evolutionary theory is based not on intelligent logic, but rather on
a collection of imaginary and fantastic scenarios.
Equally amazing as the formation of a single cell is the perfect
