keep their body metabolizing and
healthy.
For these and many other simi-
lar reasons it is impossible for enzymes
to have come into being by chance. Amino
acids cannot combine to form the correct se-

quence by chance, nor coincidentally give rise
to an active site on the enzyme with a tertiary
structure. Chance cannot give rise to substrates that match the active
sites, nor direct these towards specific reactions. Chance cannot endow
an enzyme with any ability, nor bestow on it the capacity to perform in
a tenth of a second a reaction that normally would take tens of millions
of years. Chance cannot make an enzyme ideally suited to the organ-
ism, nor endow it with the ability to keep that organism alive. Chance
is no explanation for the literally conscious behavior that enzymes ex-
hibit in the living body.
The fact that molecules do behave in a conscious manner in the
body shows that it is the work of a sublime Creator. Every structure and
every molecule in the living body is the work of Allah, Creator of all
things. That is why all structures are so compatible and mutually de-
pendent. It is Allah, Lord of the worlds, Who creates organisms in their
finest possible form, gives them their characteristics, bestows an aston-
ishing complexity on even the smallest components within them, and
creates them in a very wide variety. No created entity can bring into be-

ing any thing of beauty to compare with the miracles created by Him,
nor produce the flawless order and harmony produced by Him. No in-
telligence on Earth, no technology, no power can produce the living sys-
tems created by Allah with their perfect mechanisms. That is because
every perfection we see is the artistry of Allah, His creation and His glo-
rious might.
