               mand and control. This system is so amazingly intricate that it's
               absolutely impossible for it to have arisen by a series of coincidental
               steps. Because in order for the enzyme to exist, the DNA must exist,
               but in order for the DNA to exist, so must the enzymes. And for both
               of them to exist, the cell must exist in its entirety, from the cell mem-
               brane inward to all its complex organelles.
                    The theory of evolution proposes that organisms developed
               "step by step" as a result of "beneficial coincidences." But this DNA-
               enzyme paradox absolutely refutes it, since both the DNA and the
               enzymes must be in existence at the same time. This is blatant evi-
               dence of God's existence.
