CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

EXPOUNDING EVIDENCE OF GOD'S EXISTENCE

CAN FREE PEOPLE FROM IRRELIGIOUS BELIEFS

According to the Darwinist claims, all living things result from
spontaneous coincidences. But the thousands of complex systems
in our bodies deny this nonsense of "coincidence." One example is
the hairlike structures whose sole duty is to allow the cell to move
and which, in turn, consist of thousands of minute details.
Some cells move by the use of short, microscopic structures,
called cilia, that resemble eyelashes. For example, each of the sta-
tionary cells in the respiratory tract possesses hundreds of cilia. By
moving together all at the same time, just like the oars on a racing
scull, these structures enable the cell to move forward.
➟ When a cross section of a cilium is cut, it can be seen to be
very organized and made up of a ring of nine doublet micro-
tubules around the periphery and two singlet microtubules in the
middle.
➟ Each of the doublet microtubules has a ring with 13 micro-
filaments and another one with 11 microfilaments.
➟ The microtubules are made of a protein called "tubulin."
➟ The microtubules also have two extensions, an outer arm
and an inner arm, both made of a protein called "dynein." This
protein's function is to act as a motor for the cilia and provide
mechanical strength.
➟ Molecules making up the tubulin protein virtually line up
together like bricks to form cylindrical structures. However, the
organization of the tubulin molecules is much more complex than
the laying of bricks.
➟ There are ten short extensions on the top and ten cavities on
the bottom of each tubulin. These cavities and extensions have
