Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

one of these factors came into being in stages, yet each stage is
functionless on its own. The coagulation system can start to
function only after the passing of millions of years, when all
its elements succeed in coming into being, all by chance.
There's absolutely no doubt that no living organism can afford
to wait for such a development. This fact alone is sufficient to
show that evolution is a completely illusory concept.
Torben Hakier, author of the book Mechanisms in Blood
Coagulation, Fibrinolysis and the Complement System, expresses
the irreducible complexity in the clotting system:
A system of this kind cannot just be allowed to free-wheel. The suc-
cess of the coagulation process is due to the finely tuned modulation
and regulation of all of the partial proteolytic digestions that occur.
Too little or too much activity would be equally damaging for the
organism. Regulation is a central issue in blood coagulation. 69

Michael Behe, a professor of biochemistry from Lehigh
University, describes how not a single link in the clotting
chain, and not even a single one of the genes comprising that
link, could have come into being by chance, as evolutionists
would like us to believe:
So making a new blood-coagulation protein by shuffling is like pick-
ing a dozen sentences randomly from an encyclopedia in the hope of
making a coherent paragraph. 70

The impossibility of such a system coming into being by
chance is calculated as follows:
Consider that animals with blood-clotting cascades have roughly
10,000 genes, each of which is divided into an average of three
pieces. TPA [a clot-dissolving enzyme] has four different
types of domains. By variously shuffling, the odds of get-
ting those four domains together is 30,000 to the fourth
