A A Chain of Miracles

NOT EVEN THE SIMPLEST LIVING THINGS ARE
COINCIDENTAL
Thus far, we have explored that the harmony and balances
in the universe, the solar system, and our Earth could not be
products of coincidence. Each of these balances, we have seen, is
a miracle of choice among countless alternative possibilities.

And not even the simplest living organisms can form coinciden-
tally. Robert Shapiro is a Professor of chemistry and DNA expert
at New York University. A Darwinist, Shapiro calculated the
probability of the 2,000 different proteins found in simple bacte-
ria having formed coincidentally He obtained the following re-
sult: 1 in 10 40,000 (a number formed by 4,000 zeros following the
number 1; which does not correspond to anything in the uni-
verse). And there are 200,000 different proteins in the human
body!

Living things may appear so
simple at first sight, but pos-
sess structures and systems so
complex that could never have
arisen by chance.
