                   The question of DNA and en-
               zymes working for DNA constitutes
               one of the greatest impasses confronting
               evolutionists. The "irreducible complex-
               ity" posing such a dilemma for evolu-
               tionists will be encountered again
               during the course of this section.              Chromosome
               DNA, one of the cell's most com-
               plex structures, and enzymes, some
               of the body's complex proteins, work to-
               gether in a system in which neither can be separat-
               ed from the other. It is impossible to remove even a single
               component from the complex system in which they participate
               and claim that some parts "evolved" before others.
                   As described in the previous section in some detail,
               DNA needs enzymes for the replication process. Yet at this
               stage, something very interesting arises. For the enzymes
               that enable DNA replication to come into being—
               which enzymes monitor the DNA at every stage,
               then correct any errors and check the DNA again
               from beginning to end—the necessary production
               information should already exist in DNA. Enzymes
               are proteins manufactured under DNA's control, ac-
               cording to the information encoded in that DNA. In
               other words, enzyme synthesis is impossible without
               DNA. On the other hand, in the absence of enzymes, the
