more a philosophical doctrine than an empirical one. . . . 111
To witness this fact more closely, consider the discrepancies
among evolutionist claims regarding the structure of microorgan-
isms.

MICROORGANISMS REFUTE EVOLUTION

Evolutionist claims maintain that the first characteristic ac-
quired by the first bacterium was the ability to produce its own
food, via photosynthesis. In fact, however, even in that portion of
photosynthesis that's currently understood, all the processes per-
formed are exceedingly complex chemical ones. In order to carry
them out, you first need to produce a system to perform those proc-
esses, and then squeeze them into minute organelles inside a cell.
Yet it is quite impossible for you to create such a laboratory. That be-
ing so, it's utterly illogical to claim that such a superior technology

came into existence by chance in the first living cell.
The German evolutionary biologist Hoimar von Ditfurth de-
scribes the complexity possessed by algae—the most important
source of photosynthesis and thus of great im-
portance from the evolutionist per-
spective:

Algae, with a history HARUN YAHYA
going back more than 3
billion years, carry out
such an extraordinary
process as photosynthe-
sis. The possession of such a (ADNAN OKTAR)
mechanism by a single-celled
creature totally refutes the
theory of evolution.
