48 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

Imagine the letters that comprise this sentence are the amino acids
that constitute a protein. There is no chance that the letters in this
sentence will form a meaningful sentence if they are distributed at ran-
dom. Such a random action will produce billions of different out-
comes. Just three of these possibilities are as follows:

First and foremost, some of the letters will fall face down.

Some of the letters will fall on their sides or upside down. Moreover,
the letters may not line up side by side when they are thrown down.
Even if we assume they line up side by side, some will form an oval
shape and others a circle.

The chances of them lining up side by side are very small. Even if we
assume they do line up side by side, against all the odds, they will still
be in the wrong order. And the result will be a mass of letters signify-
ing nothing.

As you see from this example, if the amino acids in nature come to-
gether by chance, some will be right-handed and others left-handed.
When set out at random, they will form a meaningless sequence. Thus,
no protein will emerge.
When you read a meaningful sentence, you can be sure some rational,
informed human being wrote it. In the same way, proteins that have ex-
isted for billions of years show the existence of a superior Creator Who
brought them into being with His intellect and consciousness.

tein. Since even one functional protein cannot come into exis-
tence by chance in nature, it is impossible for life to have

emerged by chance.
Many examples of research carried out by molecular biol-
ogists have clearly demonstrated that it is impossible for pro-
teins to form by chance. Many famous scientists like Harold
Morowitz, Fred Hoyle, Ilya Prigogine, Hubert Yockey and
Robert Sauer -although evolutionists themselves-, have reached
