dences." According to their claim, the amino acids that com-
prise proteins—and the atoms that give rise to them—all acci-
dently combined in the most appropriate manner to produce
the proteins indispensable for life. Such a claim exceeds the
bounds of both reason and science.
The well-known scientist, MIT trained Walter T. Brown,

summarizes the impossibility of left-handed amino acids ran-
domly combining to form a single protein:
Each type of amino acid, when found in nonliving material or
when synthesized in the laboratory, comes in two chemically
equivalent forms. Half are right-handed, and half are left-
handed—mirror images of each other. However, amino acids
in life, including plants, animals, bacteria, molds, and even
viruses, are essentially all left-handed. No known natural

process can isolate either the left-handed or right-handed vari-
ety. The mathematical probability that chance processes could
produce merely one tiny protein molecule with only left-hand-
ed amino acids is virtually zero. 7
The point here is the fact that a conscious selection is tak-
ing place. Therefore, a conscious Being, possessing reason and

information, must be carrying out the "selection." It's plain to
see that this selection is performed by God, Who creates all liv-
ing things within a given order, right down to their sub-atomic
building blocks, and Who possesses a superior intellect, con-
sciousness, knowledge and might. As God informs us in the
Qur'an:

He directs the whole affair from heaven to earth... (Qur’an,
32:5)
