74 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

ment inside our trillions of cells trillions of RNA polymerase en-
zymes are able to read the information in DNA from the begin-
ning to the end and, moreover, to extract it in an error-free
manner. Astonishingly, Darwinists claim that such a system
came into being by coincidence, under the effects of lightning
on primordial tide pools.

After the polymerase enzyme has located the DNA mole-
cule information for the protein to be produced, it must now ex-
hibit another sign of consciousness and ability: It has to copy
this information to be dispatched to the production site.

Copying the Production Order:

Transcription

The process of copying the information from the DNA
code for the required protein is called transcription. We can
draw an analogy between this production and the production in
a factory based on a requisition. It is crucial that the production
order, in other words, the information extracted from the DNA,
is copied accurately. All the information to be used during the
course of producing the protein is read from that requisition,
and even the slightest error in a single letter during copying,

could cause serious diseases, and even prove fatal. For example,
if only one of the 574 amino acids that make up the hemoglobin,
changes place, hemoglobin will lose its three-dimensional form
and consequently will lose its ability to carry out its needed task.
As a result of this defective shape, hemoglobin can no longer
carry oxygen in the blood to the tissues, and the fatal disease

known as Mediterranean anemia ensues.
RNA polymerase (RNAP) is built of the combination of
various complex proteins. Researchers established that in E.
