CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL
TO PROVE DARWINISM'S ABSURDITY,
ONLY ONE EXAMPLE IS SUFF›C›ENT
It's highly illogical to claim that millions of events, all occurring
by coincidence, gave life to inanimate matter and formed perfect-
ly working processes and structures of faultless design. To realize
this, you need only to consider the following example:
One of the transport proteins in the blood, called albumin,
binds to lipids such as cholesterol and to hormones, toxic bile and
medicines such as penicillin. Then it circulates through the blood-
stream traveling throughout the body after which it arrives at the
liver and deposits the toxins it has gathered there to be neutral-
ized, and then continues on carrying the nutrients and hormones
to wherever they need to go.
Now ask yourself these questions:
1. How can a molecule like albumin, made up of atoms and
having no consciousness or knowledge, distinguish between
lipids and toxins, medicines and nutrients?
2. Moreover, how can it recognize the liver, bile, and stomach
and then deliver the correct substances to the correct places every
time, never getting confused or losing its way?
If you examined the toxins, medicines and nutrients carried in
the blood under a microscope you wouldn't be able to distinguish
between them unless you had medical training. Certainly you
couldn't determine how much and of which type of substance
needed to go to which organ.
A few unconscious atoms, combined into the albumin protein,
have been faultlessly carrying out this duty in the bodies of all
human beings for millions of years—a process that the majority of
human beings couldn't manage if they hadn't any training.
Undoubtedly this display of purpose and intent by a group of
atoms is possible only by the infinite power and knowledge of God.
