54 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

acid must be in a specific position for proteins to display certain
properties.
Though the functions carried out by the ‘spine’ in proteins
are similar to those in our bodies, there is one important differ-
ence: Protein backbones operate in an area of just one millionth

of a millimeter. No doubt, a structure able to operate an exceed-
ingly important mechanism in such a small space is most mirac-
ulous.
Just like the spine and vertebrae in your own body, proteins
and amino acids have been specially created to attach to one an-
other in the required manner. Their flawless attachment is just

as important to proteins as it is to the body. If one amino acid
does not bind to the next in an appropriate sequence, then the
entire protein loses its function. Reflect a little on this, and you
will discern the delicate and consciously designed creation here.

In an area of one -thousandth of a millimeter inside the
cell, too small to be seen with the naked eye, miraculous events
are taking place. Thousands of proteins comprising the cell, and
the hundreds of amino acids that form these proteins, all must
be in exactly the right positions, without a single error. That ap-
plies to each of the trillions of the cells of every one of billions of

human beings on Earth. Contrary to what Darwinists claim, this
extraordinary phenomenon is not the work of chance. In addi-
tion, never forget that amino acids are not conscious entities
with sensory organs and the ability to think, but tiny molecules
made up of specific combinations of unconscious atoms. That

being so, who decides how the proteins necessary for life will
come about, and which amino acid is to bind where? Could the
various atoms have come to a joint decision one day and said
"Let us combine in a particular order and make up an amino
acid. Then let us agree with other atoms comprising other
