The author James Perloff was once a dyedin-the-wool atheist, but

now advocates the fact of creation against evolution. He adds to
Michael Behe's comments regarding the dilemma facing evolutionists
with regard to the blood-clotting system:
The formation of a blood clot is a complex, multi-step process that utilizes
numerous proteins, many with no other function besides clotting. Each
protein depends on an enzyme to activate it. So to paraphrase Behe very
simply: What evolved first—the protein or enzyme? Not the protein; it
cannot function without the enzyme to switch it on. But why would na-
ture evolve the activating enzyme first? Without the protein, it serves no
purpose. Furthermore, if blood clotting had evolved step-by-step over
eons, creatures would have bled to death before it was ever perfected.
The system is irreducibly complex. 86

Could any system that consists of hundreds of stages, not one of
which can be simplified or removed, have formed as the result of un-
conscious molecules joining together by chance? Can unconscious
atoms accidently give rise to one enzyme belonging to the blood-clot-
ting system? Can coincidences work miracles? Can chance create some-
thing out of nothing?
None of these are possible, of course. Evolutionists maintain that
blind coincidences created out of unconscious atoms a clotting system
that behaves in a literally conscious manner. Chance is the false deity of
Darwinism, that supposedly works miracles. That is why evolutionists

seek to convince others that chance produces new species, works mira-
cles and creates something out of nothing.
The fact is, however, that it is impossible for perfect, regular sys-
tems to emerge as a result of random, uncontrolled and unconscious
phenomena. Any random event in a mechanism as complex and de-
tailed as the blood-clotting system, so sensitive at the molecular level
and requiring a complex division of tasks, will turn that whole proce-
dure upside down. Like all the other systems in the human body, this
