Page 125 - The Miracle of Protein

ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA) 123

... But the most sweeping evolutionary questions at the level of
biochemical genetics are still unanswered. How the genetic code
first appeared and then evolved and, earlier even than that,
how life itself originated on earth remain for the future to re-
solve... The fact that in all organisms living today, the processes
both of replication of the DNA and of the effective translation
of its code require highly precise enzymes and that, at the same
time the molecular structures of those same enzymes are pre-
cisely specified by the DNA itself, poses a remarkable evolution-
ary mystery... Did the code and the means of translating it ap-
pear simultaneously in evolution? It seems almost incredible
that any such coincidence could have occurred, given the extra-
ordinary complexities of both sides and the requirement that

they be coordinated accurately for survival. By a pre-Darwin-
ian (or a skeptic of evolution after Darwin), this puzzle
would surely have been interpreted as the most powerful sort
of evidence for special creation. 51
As this scientist states, for protein synthesis to happen, all
the systems inside the cell have to exist simultaneously. In the
absence of just one component in this system, proteins cannot
be produced, and life cannot continue. Evolutionists claim that
first proteins emerged, and later with the combination of these

proteins, cells came into being. However, it is clear that no one
part can emerge in the absence of another. This is a clear evi-
dence that God has created all living things together with all
their systems. He reveals His flawless creation in the Qur'an as
thus:

He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To
Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the
heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the
All-Wise. (Qur’an, 59:24)
