The bacterial flagellum is clear evidence that even in supposedly
"primitive" creatures, there is an extraordinary design. As humanity
becomes more deeply immersed in details, it becomes increasingly obvious
that the organisms scientists of the 19th century, including Darwin,
considered to be the simplest, are in fact just as complex as any others. In
other words, as the perfection of the creation becomes clearer, the
senselessness of the struggle to find alternative explanations for the creation
is much more obvious.

There are amazing designs even in the creatures that evolutionists regard as “simple”. The
bacterial flagellum is one of countless examples. Bacteria travel in water by moving this
organ on their membrane. When the inner details of this well-known organ were revealed,
the scientific world was extremely surprised to find that bacteria had an extraordinarily
complicated electric motor. The electric motor, which is comprised of about fifty different
molecular parts, is a wonder of design as shown above.
