When amino acids join with
not only peptide bonds but
also with hydrogen bonds, the
protein chain gains a helical
or a layered structure. This is
called a secondary structure.
Hydrogen
bonds
broins, the proteins in spider webs, lacked the ability to bend,
then the webs would serve no purpose. But this protein's struc-
ture provides the spider web with a resilience that keeps prey
from escaping. Indeed, the silk that spiders produce is five times
stronger than steel of the same thickness (1/1,000 of a millime-
th
ter in diameter). 11
As you see, proteins' structures have been created flawless-
ly and incomparably for sustaining living things, right down to
the finest detail. Even if all the atoms in the universe were
placed at its disposal, blind coincidence could never operate
with such foresight and perform such impeccable calculations.
No chain of atoms that comes into being by chance can possess
the information, intellect or ability to organize every atom in
such a way that the spider web becomes most efficient. Claim-
ing otherwise is serious irrationality.
