Blood: The Incomparable
Liquid of Life

George Wald says this on the subject:
If just one mutational change of any kind was made in it, the hemo-
globin would not function properly. For example, the change of one
amino acid out of 287 in hemoglobin causes sickle-cell anemia. A
glutamic acid unit has been changed to a valine unit—and, as a
result, 25% of those suffering with this anemia die. 33

Darwinists seek to portray evolution as a theory backed
up by powerful evidence, even as the truth. But the fact is that
just a single hemoglobin molecule, created by God with an
incomparable organization, with its complexity and distribu-
tion among species that refute the so-called evolutionary
"family tree," is sufficient to put the theory into an impasse.

Myoglobin: The Muscles' Source of Oxygen

Another molecule in the body undertakes the function of
carrying oxygen to the muscles. Known as myoglobin, this
molecule bears a close structural resemblance to a subunit of
hemoglobin, with the distinguishing feature that unlike hemo-
globin, it can carry a single oxygen molecule. Myoglobin is
specially created for the muscles, because the muscles' oxygen
needs are at a lower and specific level. By carrying just one
oxygen molecule rather than four, myoglobin is better able to
meet the muscles' requirements. However, this does not apply
to the other cells in the body. It is essential that the blood carry
large amounts of oxygen to the other tissues every moment—
which requirement is met by hemoglobin, able to bind four
oxygen molecules.
If this distribution of tasks were reversed, then
myoglobin would be unable to distribute sufficient
