             tal deception. In the light of our present-day knowledge, just one of all
             the countless proteins possessed by the cell is enough to refute the the-
             ory of evolution. Proteins are highly complex structures, and it is im-
             possible for them to come into being by chance. So much so that it is im-
                                                     st
             possible to reproduce them even with 21 -century technology under
             conscious and controlled laboratory conditions. To maintain that such
             a structure came into being by chance in a puddle of muddy water is
             scientifically ludicrous and even a violation of reason and logic. The
             American philosopher of science Stephen C. Meyer expresses the im-
             possibility of a single protein forming by chance in these words:

                  Consider the probabilistic hurdles that must be overcome to construct
                  even one short protein molecule of about 100 amino acids in length. First,
                  all amino acids must form a chemical bond known as a peptide bond so
                  as to join with other amino acids in the protein chain. Yet in nature many
                  other types of chemical bonds are possible between amino acids. The
                  probability of building a chain of 100 amino acids in which all linkages
                                                           30
                  involve peptide bonds is roughly 1 chance in 10 .
                  Second, in nature every amino acid has a distinct mirror image of itself,
                  one left-handed version (or L-form) and one right-handed version (or D-
                  form). These mirror-image forms are called optical isomers. Functioning
                                      proteins tolerate only left-handed amino acids,
                                             yet the right-handed and left-handed
                                                isomers occur in nature with rough-
                                                  ly equal frequency. Taking this in-
                                                   to consideration compounds the
                                                    improbability of attaining a bio-
                                                    logically functioning protein.
