form into tiny, moving hairs. In order for a cell to possess these hairs,
a great deal more is necessary. Detailed biochemical analysis reveals
that there are more than 200 proteins in the hairs in a cell.
These are just a few details, all of vital importance, of the complex
system that allows these tiny hairs to function. Any deficiency or error
in the system will mean the hair attaching to another structure inside
the cell, or a difference in the hair's elasticity, or a change in the length
of time the tail moves, or a change in the nature of the membrane be-
longing to the hair. There is thus no room for the slightest mistake.
In order for more than 200 proteins to combine to produce all these
characteristics, they must have emerged in exactly the right place and
in exactly the right sequence. This clearly exposes such meaningless
evolutionist scenarios as "formation over time" and shows that the
structure comprising the cells was created.
The design in these tiny hairs that cause cells to move is just one
example clearly revealing the illogical nature of evolutionists' claims.
In a hardware store with a great quantity of electrical and mechanical
items, is it possible for cogs to fit themselves to a pivot; for wires to
wind themselves round to form a coil; and for the electrical switch
and cables to power the engine's motor all by themselves? You need-
n't be an electrical or mechanical engineer to realize just how nonsen-
sical that idea is, just as you needn't be a biochemist to realize that the
hairs' movement system couldn't have arisen by chance.
Micro-tubules are also present in the body of the cell, quite apart
from the hairs. In the cell, their main function is to support the cell's
shape and structure. Furthermore, what we have described as motor
proteins have other functions in the cell, too. For example, they travel
the length of the micro-tubules for the transportation of various com-
