THE MIRACLE IN THE CELL
In the inanimate world, these isomers are found in roughly equal
amounts (50-50). And all of the 20 basic amino acids used in the
human body can be found in both forms, levo or dextro, in nature.
But research has come up with a striking fact: From the simplest
organism to the most complex, the proteins in all plants and animals
are only of the levo form. In certain experiments, in fact, dextro amino
acids were given to bacteria, and the bacteria immediately broke them
down, and sometimes they rebuilt from the remains levo amino acids
that they could use.
Evolutionists can in no way explain such a special, seemingly
deliberate differentiation. (If life really did arise by coincidence, then
there would have been no reason for this differentiation to exist.) Both
forms of amino acids are found in equal amounts in nature, and each
is able to bind with the other perfectly. Then how can we explain that
only levo amino acids are found in the proteins in all living things?
As you would anticipate, this characteristic of proteins has led
the evolutionists even deeper into their dead end of "coincidence." For
a relevant protein to be formed, as explained before, it's not enough
for the amino acids that compose it to be of a certain number, in a cer-
tain order, and have a special 3-D shape. Besides this, the left-handed
amino acids must be selected and not even a single right-handed one
will be tolerated. This situation places the concept of coincidence com-
pletely out of the picture.
The Britannica Science Encyclopaedia, an outspoken defender of
evolution, states that the amino acids of all living organisms on Earth,
and the building blocks of complex polymers such as proteins, have
the same left-handed asymmetry. It adds that this is tantamount to
tossing a coin a million times and always getting heads. The same arti-
cle states that it's impossible to understand why molecules become
left- or right-handed, and that this choice is fascinatingly related to the
origin of life on Earth. 12
If a coin is tossed into the air a million times, and it always comes
down heads, wouldn't it be logical to accept that somebody is con-
