THE MIRACLE IN THE CELL
stance, harmful molecule, or useless protein should have been incor-
porated into the chain. These organelles had to come together in the
most organized fashion, with all the necessary enzymes, and had to
have been surrounded by a membrane, containing a special fluid that
constituted the most ideal environment.
But even if all of these implausible events took place, the pile of
molecules that resulted still would not have come to life.
Research has shown that the mere coming together of substances
necessary for living things is not sufficient enough for life to come
about. Even if all of the proteins needed for life were placed in a test
tube, they still wouldn't result in a living being, because life is much
more than just a few molecules being found together.
Life is a metaphysical concept. Life is a reflection of the al-Hayy
(The Living) attribute of God. Only with His will does life begin, con-
tinue and then cease. Just like everything else, life comes about
through the mere command of Be from God.
The theory of evolution cannot explain how the necessary sub-
stances for life formed, nor how they came together, nor how life first
started.
Let's for a moment accept all of these impossibilities: that billions
of years ago, all of the substances needed for life came together as a
living entity. Alas, the theory of evolution is still destined to collapse!
Even if the cell became alive, eventually it would have died. There
would have been nothing left, and we would have been back where
we started. Because this first living had no genetic system in place, cell
would have died not having been able to replicate itself and therefore,
could not have left behind a new generation. Life would have expired
along with the cell.
The genetic system is not made up of just DNA. Vital compo-
nents include enzymes that read the code in the DNA, the production
of mRNA from the reading of this code, ribosomes upon which the
mRNA with its codons binds, the tRNAs that carry to the ribosomes
