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
