22 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

miraculous intelligence, organizational ability and a sense of re-
sponsibility? Everyone who reflects with true sincerity will un-
derstand that they are the flawless creations of Almighty and
All-Knowing God, and that all entities in the universe—from the
greatest to the smallest—are under God's control and command.

His dominion over all things is revealed in a verse from the
Qur'an:
I have put my trust in God, my Lord and your Lord. There
is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord is
on a Straight Path. (Qur’an, 11:56)

Talented Proteins Built by Unconscious
Atoms

The diagram on the next page shows the atomic structure
of the protein known as cytochrome-c. Just 5 millionth of a mil-
limeter in size, this protein consists of approximately 1,000
atoms. As shown in the illustration, the organization and bind-
ing among these atoms is extremely sophisticated and complex.

Darwinists claim that these 1,000 atoms ultimately came
together by chance and are bound to one another in the way
shown in the illustration. They also state that the protein cy-
tochrome-c, with its vital functions for life, came into being as
both a result of these accidental combinations and natural selec-
tion. Consider too that these 1,000 atoms include many different

elements such as iron, carbon and nitrogen atoms. In other
words, in order to function the different atoms necessary to con-
stitute cytochrome-c must be present all at once in a specific
number and a specific place—and must then, as shown in the di-
agram, attach to one another by means of very different but ap-
propriate chemical bonds. According to evolutionists' utterly il-
logical claims, all of this happened by chance, time, and natural
