The Cell in 40 Topics
It is evident that this communication system, whose first stage is de-
scribed here in general terms, could hardly have come into being sponta-
neously, and that the unconscious atoms comprising the cell could not
have thought up such a system. It is Almighty God Who created this per-
fect system from nothing. God is He Who inspires all living things with
what they need to do and Who keeps them under His control at all mo-
ments.
Figure 81.
Communications inside the cell begin with molecules such
as hormones that bear messages. Receptors in the cell mem-
brane receive the message and forward it to the molecules
inside the cell responsible for communications. This leads to
the activation of various genes in the DNA and the produc-
tion of whatever protein the message specified.
