even spheres. Yet the aston ish ing infor ma tion encod ed in
the mem brane dis tin guish es cells from spheres—nec es -
sa ry for the pro teins and other mol e cu les that per mit con -
trolled car riage along the length of the cell mem brane.
Proteins, pro ducts of the cell metab o lism, per mit the cell
to func tion, and the cell is need ed to pro duce them.
In order to main tain life, the pro teins, and the data
that encode them, and the organ elles that pro duce them
must all have appeared simul ta ne ous ly—an event that is
impos si ble through mere coincidence. This sit u a tion,
there fore, can not be explained by Darwinists.
This fact, which dem on strates that coin ci dence can
have no place in the ori gin of life, is one that Darwinists
are forced to accept. Von Ditfurth con fess es as much:

Integral protein
Oligosaccharide

Glycolipid Hydrophobic
alpha helix

Integral
protein

Phospholipid
Cholesterol

All along the cell membrane, there are proteins, products of cell metabo-
lism, that permit controlled transport. While these allow the cell to function,
the cell is necessary for their production. Therefore, in order for living
beings to exist, both the proteins and the information that codes them and
the organelles that produce them must all be present at the same time.
