CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE CELL

BELIEF IN DARWINISM ISAS LOGICAL AS

BELIEF IN A FAIRY TALE

The letters you see in the table on the opposite page are not in ran-
dom order. Actually, they are part of the description containing infor-
mation about hemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in the
blood. This description is recorded in DNA, which contains all of the
information relevant to the entire body. When hemoglobin needs to
be synthesized, these letters are selected out of the three billion let-
ters found in the DNA. This selection process is carried out by RNA
polymerase, an enzyme so meticulous and careful that it never
makes a mistake in reading or selecting the correct letters out of bil-
lions. It identifies the correct ones every time.
After selecting the correct letters and obtaining the description of
the protein, it goes to the ribosomes, the cell's production center for
protein synthesis.
The ribosomes read this description with the same meticulous-
ness and care and, understanding the message, they then begin to
synthesize the protein flawlessly.
This event is very organized and planned, just as architects and
engineers design a skyscraper with the latest technology, the plans
for which they then place in the hands of specialist builders and
technicians.
Darwinists, on the other hand, claim that this superior degree of
organization in a tiny area that can't even be seen with the naked eye,
came about by coincidence. They claim that molecules formed from
blind, unconscious, lifeless atoms display continual insight and
somehow direct and engineer such faultless plans and organization.
To believe in such a claim as this is as illogical as believing that
fairy tales are real. But Darwinism has hypnotized many people and
blocked their powers of understanding.
