              PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
              There is a continuous activity
              going on in our cells: the    Special                                                 Final shape of the protein
              proteins in the food we eat   enzymes
              are broken down and these
              pieces (amino acids) are re-
              combined according to the
              codes in DNA. Thus, new proteins
              needed by the body are made. This operation,
                                                                 Protein chain bent by
              called the protein synthesis, is far more                                    Re-processing of
              complex than this simplified illustration. No          he enzymes            the protein chain
              laboratory is as successful as the cell in
              carrying protein synthesis.



                For instance, the probability of the amino acid sequence of a protein made up of 500 amino acids
                being in the correct order is 1 in 10 950 5  950  is an incomprehensible figure formed by placing
                                                     . 10
                950 zeros after 1.  In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 50  is considered to be
                almost impossible.
                Briefly, even a single protein cannot form by chance. Evolutionists also admit this fact from time
                to time. For instance, Harold Blum, a famous evolutionist scientist, states that "the spontaneous
                formation of a polypeptide of the size of the smallest known proteins seems beyond all
                probability." 6
                So, what does all this mean? Perry Reeves, a professor of chemistry, gives the
                answer:
                  When one examines the vast number of possible structures
                  that could result from a simple random combination of
                  amino acids in an evaporating primordial pond, it is
                  mind-boggling to believe that life could have
                  originated in this way. It is more plausible that a
                  Great Builder with a master plan would be required
                  for such a task. 7

                                    Cytochrome-C is one of the most
                                    important proteins that make oxygen
                                    respiration possible. It is vital for
                                    survival. It is impossible for this protein,
                                    which has an extremely complex design,
                                    to form by chance. One of the foremost
                                    defenders of evolution in Turkey, Professor Ali
                                    Demirsoy states in his book Inheritance and
                                    Evolution that the probability of the
                                    coincidental formation of Cytochrome-C is "as
                                                                                                    Cytochrome-C
                unlikely as the possibility of a monkey writing the history of humanity

                on a typewriter without making any mistakes." 8
