This can mean only one thing, of course—that the amino acids and

nucleic acids were all created by a single Creator at exactly the same
time. The way that the amino acids constituting the enzymes recognize
the nucleotides, can resolve the codes they contain and use this to per-
form the vital function of DNA replication can only be explained by
their all being under the control of a single Will. Like everything else
that exists, they too are the works of Allah.
Leslie E. Orgel is one of the most dyed-in-the-wool modern evolu-
tionists. Yet even he had to admit that these two structures could not

have evolved by chance:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of which
are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same place at the
same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one without the other.
And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that life could never,
in fact, have originated by chemical means. 69
Following the unwinding of the DNA strands, other enzymes im-
mediately flock to the DNA and begin scanning it. If during this scan-

ning process, they detect any "error" in the DNA they immediately cor-
rect it. The faulty part of the damaged DNA strand is identified and
torn out by an enzyme known as DNA nuclease. A gap thus appears in
the DNA helix.
When the flawed section has been done away with, DNA poly-
merase enters the equation. This enzyme completes each of the two
separated DNA strands with a second strand, so that two separate
DNA helixes are formed. In stages it checks whether or not they match

the bases on the other side. In order to do so, it brings in data corre-
sponding to those data that comprise the original DNA strand. It sepa-
rates flawed base molecules and replaces them with new ones. To put
it another way, it copies 3 billion separate letters in a completely flaw-
less manner. In addition, DNA polymerase checks all these different
