Page 23 - The Miraculous Machine that Works for an Entire Lifetime: Enzyme

Aware of this significant fact, the Cambridge University evolu-

tionists Malcolm Dixon and Edwin C. Webb provide the following de-
finition of enzymes, one of the major stumbling blocks confronting the
theory of evolution:
The whole subject of the origin of enzymes, like that of the origin of life,
which is essentially the same thing, bristles with difficulties. We may
surely say of the advent of enzymes, as Hopkins said of the advent of life,
that it was the most improbable and the most significant event in the his-

tory of the universe. 9
What Dixon and Webb describe as "difficulties" are the complexi-
ties and perfections that evolution cannot account for. Evolution can of-
fer no explanation for enzymes' mind-boggling complexity. Because the
sole Creator of this sublime work is Allah, and He creates all things in
a perfect manner.
Frank Salisbury, an evolutionist and biologist, expresses this ex-
traordinary complexity in enzymes—for which evolutionists are un-
able to account—thus:

Now we know that the cell itself is far more complex than we had imag-
ined. It includes thousands of functioning enzymes, each one of them a
complex machine itself. Furthermore, each enzyme comes into being in
response to a gene, a strand of DNA. The information content of the
gene—its complexity—must be as great as that of the enzyme it con-
trols. 10

This information is most significant. Enzymes are proteins that, by
the will of Allah, form and also act under the control of genes.
Therefore, genes themselves must have as at least as much complexity
as enzymes. These words will serve as a reminder of the sophistication
genes possess:
For example, we are told that the information content of the gene in its
complexity must be as great as the enzyme it controls. Yet just one medi-
um-sized protein will consist of about 300 amino acids! That protein was
