The Microhairs' Movement System
The movement of these tiny hairs can be compared to a
boat floating on the water. The microtubules making contact
with the water function like oars. The nine interconnected rods
can slide like a single oar through the bonds between them. The
arms of the protein dynein act like engines, and lend strength
to the propulsion system. The nexin arms are the connecting
tubes, passing the power of the engine from one microtubule to
another. Whether a boat or a cell is being propelled, for this
motion to be provided, a great many components must be
bound to one another and operate together in great harmony.
If not all are placed in the right positions, the components will
serve no purpose.
As you have seen, intelligence and consciousness are nec-
essary for every component to exist. In the same way, intelli-
gence, consciousness, planning and purpose are required to
produce useful protein structures. Even if we assume that pro-
teins did happen to form in some way, when injected into a cell,
we still cannot expect them to build such flawlessly functioning
structures as microhairs. An intelligent Being is required to or-
ganize and combine these in an appropriate manner.
The theory of evolution is absolutely unable to account for
the formation of proteins and how they combine to form struc-
tures such as machines, engines, data banks and factories, in
which every single component is indispensable. Coincidences
cannot possibly give rise to such complex and impeccably well
designed systems. Moreover, to form even the smallest systems,
such as the microhairs in the cell, hundreds of proteins, en-
zymes and molecules must combine at the same time. Indeed,
biochemists have determined that cell motion is supported by
up to another 200 other proteins not mentioned here. The ab-
