ago do not exist today. However, you are now able to survive because they have
divided on time to leave their places to the new ones. For this reason, highly
complex operations like multiplication of the cells and replication of DNA are
vital processes which cannot tolerate even a minor mistake in regards to man's
survival. However, the multiplication process runs so smoothly that the rate of
error is only one in 3 billion base pairs. And this one error is eliminated by the
higher control mechanisms in the body without causing any problems.
All through the day, while you are unaware, numerous operations and con-
trols are made, many measures are taken in your body in an incredibly fastidi-
ous and responsible manner for you to lead your life without any problem.
Every single thing carries out its duty successfully and completely. God has
given to your service countless atoms and molecules, from the biggest to the
smallest, from the simplest to the most complex, so that you may live a good
and healthy life. Is even this blessing and favour alone not sufficient for you to
give thanks? Or should one always wait for problems to occur in this perfect
system before coming to one's senses?
The most interesting point is that these enzymes which help the production of
D N A and control its composition are actually proteins produced according to the
information coded in DNA and under the command and control of DNA. There
is such an intertwined, perfect system at work that it is by no means possible for
such a system to have attained this state by gradual coincidences. Just as DNAh a s
to exist for the enzyme to exist, so the enzyme has to exist for DNA to exist, and
for both to exist, on the other hand, the cell has to exist completely, down to its
membrane and all other complex organelles it contains.
The theory of evolution asserting that living beings evolved 'step by step' as
a result of 'beneficial coincidences' is explicitly refuted by the above mentioned
DNA-enzyme paradox. This is because both DNAand the enzyme have to exist
at the same time. And this shows the existence of a conscious Creator, that is,
God.
