Another aspect of the structure of a
cell makes the word "chance" meaningless.
As we said before, all the functions of a cell
occur in accordance with information en-
coded in the DNA, and this information is
the evident result of a Higher Creation .
This applies not only to DNA; all the or-
ganelles in a cell are the result of superior John Morris' works have been
valuable in showing the diffi-
creation. In this regard, the words of culties that the theory of evo-
American scientist John Morris are very en- lution has encountered.
lightening:
But design in all living things is obvious. Even the single-celled organism is
complex beyond the ability of scientists to understand, let alone duplicate. All
of life is governed by the marvelously complex genetic code, which contains
not only design and order, but what is equivalent to written information. This
DNA code must not only be written correctly, the rest of the cell must be able
to read it and follow its instructions, if the cell is to metabolize its food, carry
out its myriad of enzyme reactions, and, especially, to reproduce. This code
had to be present at the origin of life. How could it have written itself? And
how could all the various organelles learn how to read and obey it? 24
In his book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, Professor Michael Denton ex-
plains this complexity with an example:
To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must
magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter
and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or
New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled com-
plexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of
openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow
a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of
these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and
bewildering complexity... Is it really credible that random processes could have
