Molecules Have No Consciousness

Biology books by evolutionist authors commonly emphasize that
the elements of the processes we have discussed apparently act with
conscious intent. Whether writing about the cell, the RNA or the DNA,
the enzymes or the organelles, we too frequently used verbs like reads,
decides, chooses, tries, repairs. Quite clearly, these verbs can only follow
a noun that possesses knowledge, intelligence and will. But the cells
we have written about up to this point are composed of mere atoms
and molecules that in no way possess the ability to think, make deci-
sions, or reason.
As made clear in previous sections, however complex and amaz-
ing a structure the cell may have, it can in no way possess intelligence
or consciousness. For this cell or any of its components to desire,
decide or control anything is consequently not an issue.
For this reason, verbs such as decides, controls and repairs,
assumed to apply to the cell, need in reality to be attributed to the
knowledge and intelligence of the Creator.
For example, when we say "this book is trying to say that…" it is
obvious that we are talking about what the author of the book is try-
ing to say. Otherwise it is clear that it cannot be understood from this
expression that the book itself, its pages and its ink, thought about
something and then tried to explain it. (For this to be understood by
someone would indicate that that person has a serious mental health
problem).
In the same way, expressions such as wants, decides, calculates,
which are used in many parts in this book, are just analogies chosen to
practically describe and depict the events that take place. To attribute
false meanings to the words other than what they mean will lead man
into a deep misconception. It's obvious that the will to desire and
decide does not come from this heap of unconscious molecules. These
characteristics, the creative power that allows this pile of molecules to
carry out such conscious and calculated acts and that creates these
