seen, Darwinists are in such a logical impasse that out of all
these impossibilities, they prefer the most unlikely of all. They
close their eyes to evident truths, closing the door to their un-
derstanding and comprehension. It is plain for all to see that
protein molecules were made for life by God, the Lord of
Boundless Intellect, Knowledge and Power.
Flawless Systems in Line with Proteins'
Duties
It is the order of the atoms that gives substances their char-
acteristic features. The atoms comprising every substance, or-
ganic or otherwise, are arranged in specific groups known as
molecules. The atoms in the molecules that make up the struc-
tures and systems of living things are specially arranged to allow
life. This is an extremely important point. It is because from the
book in your hand to the chair you are sitting in, from your
body to trees outside the window, everything is made up of
atoms. However, animate and inanimate objects are differenti-
ated from one another in the way their atoms are grouped and
organized.
Proteins are described as “by far the most structurally com-
plex and functionally sophisticated molecules known” in the Mol-
ecular Biology of the Cell, which is one of the most celebrated
books on the subject. Proteins are one of the four main groups
5
of molecules that make up the living beings. Half of the dry
weight of a person is proteins, and the remaining are nucleic
acids, lipids and carbohydrates. Again, the atoms in each mole-
cular group are sequenced differently. In this way, they acquire
different properties and, accordingly, undertake different func-
tions.
