CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

Once enough thrombin has been produced, tiny fibers of fib-
rinogen are formed. They have the very important role of forming
a net over the blood, thereby trapping and accumulating the
thrombocytes that begin to arrive. Once enough fibers have accu-
mulated, blood stops oozing out from the wound. Once the
wound has healed completely, the blood clot is then broken down
by similar methods.
These enzymes and proteins are structures that come together
by the different ordering of lifeless, unconscious, blind atoms.
Each of these is in an organized state from the time the wound
occurs, and takes up a particular duty to stop the bleeding as soon
as possible. Together, they synthesize the necessary proteins and
then "send for help." As if understanding the reality of the situa-
tion, the other proteins immediately arrive at the wound, each one
performing its duty without fail.
Let it not be forgotten that the enzymes that carry out the
"organization," "synthesis," "calling for help," and "understand-
ing" have come about as a result of atoms coming together. This
display of apparent consciousness by a molecule of unconscious
atoms is certainly a great miracle.
It is certainly impossible for such a system to have arisen in liv-
ing things as a result of coincidence. Each detail of this system is a
product of planning and calculation, evidence of God's infinite
knowledge, power, and wisdom. The claim that this system came
about as a result of coincidence is an example of the faulty logic
that Darwinists display.
