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
