The Defence System Cannot Have Been Formed By Evolution 133

would cause the body to lose the war. For example, if
the tiny granules located within the T cells do not func-
tion properly, they cannot store toxins, which in turn
cannot be transferred to the enemy, again resulting in
the war being lost. Therefore, in a system where the
enemy cannot finally be killed, important functions such
as the formation of warrior cells, their training, the
transmission of the necessary signals to appropriate lo-
cations by the cells at the right time, and the thousands
of combinations needed by our genes to produce anti-
bodies, or the storing of limitless information in the
memory cells, would all be worthless. The system
would simply not work. Similarly, the existence of the
many and varied functions of the human body, which
has an irreducible complexity, is equally useless in the
absence of a defence system. If the defence system did
not exist or failed to operate properly, no human being
would be able to survive.
How then do evolutionists explain the formation of
such a vital and complex system? Actually, they have no
answers which can shed light on the subject. Their only
assertion is based on the view that the defence system
has developed through gradual evolutionary processes.
They hold that the mechanisms that provide this gradu-
al development are "natural selection" and "mutations".
But it is impossible for slight, successive coincidental
modifications to produce such a complex system as the
theory of evolution suggests. As emphasised before, the
immune system would simply not function unless it ex-
isted with all its elements intact. To reiterate, a malfunc-
tioning defence system would cause the human being to
