the substrate to which it binds; the way it is able to carry out such a

miraculous process as catalysis; its ability to regulate timing; and the
way it never ages, makes a mistake or takes a rest—is this a structure
that can be explained in terms of any Darwinian mechanism? All these
observations are certainly inexplicable for evolutionists.
Jon Covey of the Creation Research Society reports an admission
on this subject by Richard Dawkins, one of the present day's most pas-
sionate advocates of the theory of evolution:

The automobile designer anticipated the need for a carburetor, just as ...
God saw the need for the enzyme hexokinase in glycolysis (sugar split-
ting). How is it, incidentally, that we acknowledge an intelligent design-
er and skilled work-man when we find a simple arrowhead amid simi-
larly shaped pebbles, but some of us find it impossible to admit a master
architect when we examine complex living creatures? There was a time
evolutionists denied that the analogy between designed machinery and
biological structures with machine-like functions was invalid. However,
this has changed. In The Blind Watchmaker, Richard Dawkins admits that
such biological structures do seem to have apparent design. He adamant-
ly denies that they were designed, but at least he admits that they look
like they were designed.

... There is no way for blind chance to know that sugar could be a source
of energy if properly tapped. It also would not know what had to be done
to take advantage of that energy. How could evolution turn down a path-
way and evolve a complicated series of enzymes ... that would give no
survival advantage for most of that evolutionary process? Further, until
the entire set of glycolytic enzymes was developed, the organism evolv-
ing the enzyme system would make useless enzymes, which would drain
energy and material resources. None of it works until all of it works, not
only the glycolytic pathway but in all other enzyme systems found in liv-
ing cells. 93
In fact, the emergence of an enzyme as a result of supposed coin-
