structure is also of the greatest importance. Any excess or deficiency
in these features would cause the system to fail. If the wire connecting
the two tubes in question were too weak to bear the tension on it, as
soon as the engine went into action, it would break and cause the two
tubes to separate. Yet that does not happen: The wires possess all the
necessary features, as do the proteins and all the other components.
All this shows the complex perfection in the structures of the
micro-hairs. But to better understand the subject, everyone with some
basic knowledge needs to ask some questions:
How did these mechanisms come into being inside such a micro-
scopically small area? How did the molecules comprising the hairs
acquire these characteristics? How did the hair produce such an in-
comparable engine system within itself? Could these hairs have
evolved in stages, as the result of chance, as evolutionists maintain?
All rational people will appreciate that chance could never bring
about the structure of the hairs in the cell for the following reasons:
Since different protein will affect the shape of the cell, it is essential
that the proteins attached to the micro-tubules be very specific in
order for the hair to be mobile. This situation can be compared to ran-
domly sited cables totally ruining the locations of the joists holding
up a building. That reason alone removes any possibility of "chance"
development.
The hair has to form on the surface of the cell. If it formed inside,
its motion would damage the cell, or would even destroy it. This
again pre-supposes a planned design and eliminates all possibility of
chance.
When you mount the proteins comprising the hairs—tubulin, dy-
nein, nexin and the others—onto a cell, these will not suddenly trans-
