A Protein cannot form Even if All the Necessary Conditions were Present — The Molecular Impasse of Evolution

Since some people are unable to take a broad view of matters, but approach them from a superficial viewpoint and assume protein formation to be a simple chemical reaction, they may make unrealistic deductions such as "amino acids combine by way of reaction and then form proteins". However, accidental chemical reactions taking place in an inanimate structure can only lead to simple and primitive changes. The number of these is predetermined and limited. For a somewhat more complex chemical material, huge factories, chemical plants, and laboratories have to be involved. Medicines and many other chemical materials that we use in our daily life are made in just this way. Proteins have much more complex structures than these chemicals produced by industry. Therefore, it is impossible for proteins, each of which is a wonder of creation, in which every part takes its place in a fixed order, to originate as a result of haphazard chemical reactions.

To summarize the subject of proteins;

• Around 100 special proteins are needed for a single protein to form.

• Protein cannot form if even one of these enzymes (proteins) required for protein synthesis is missing.

• It is not enough for these 100 enzymes to be present at the same time; they must all also be present in a special region inside the cell (a specific region inside the nucleus).

• DNA manufactures the enzymes necessary for protein to form. Proteins are also needed for DNA replication. There is no possibility of one appearing before the other. Both have to be present at the same time.

• A ribosome that serves as a factory for protein formation must also exist. But the ribosome is itself made up of proteins. Therefore, proteins are needed for ribosomes to exist, and ribosomes are needed for proteins.

• It is impossible for one to form before the other. Proteins, DNA, the ribosome, the cell nucleus, mitochondria that produce energy and all the other organelles in the cell must all exist at one and the same time.

• The enzymes essential for protein to form have to be sent to the region where manufacture will be carried out by the cell. Even if enzymes are present, so long as they are not given tasks to perform by the cell they will do nothing for that protein.

• There have to be a specific temperature and pH value in order for enzymes to be able to carry out reactions. Enzymes do not initiate reactions if they are not at the right temperature and pH level.

• Therefore, it is impossible for a protein to emerge so long as all the organelles of the cell do not co-exist together.

• Even if we place all the components necessary for protein in some muddy water, these components can never combine together to constitute proteins. The existence of the cell is a prerequisite for that to happen.

• Amino acids do not normally react with one another. Helper enzymes to carry out a reaction have to be ready and present inside the cell. But they do naturally enter into reactions with various substances, such as sugar. Therefore, even if all the requisite amino acids are placed into muddy water they can still never combine spontaneously with other amino acids. The cell is again essential for that to happen.

• Under natural conditions, even if a protein is left inside muddy water, that protein will immediately be broken down, under the effect of various environmental factors, or else will combine with other acids, amino acids or chemical substances and lose all its properties and turn into another substance that serves no purpose.

• In addition to all this, it will be useful to reiterate the essential conditions for a protein:

a. There must be peptide bonds between amino acids
b. All amino acids must be left-handed
c. Only 20 amino acids must be used
d. Amino acids have to be in a specific sequence
e. The protein that forms has to have a specific 3-D shape.

Let us for a minute put aside all the impossibilities we have described so far, and suppose that a useful protein molecule still evolved spontaneously "by accident". Even so, evolution again has no answers, because in order for this protein to survive, it would need to be isolated from its natural habitat and be protected under very special conditions. Otherwise, it would either disintegrate from exposure to natural conditions on earth, or else join with other acids, amino acids, or chemical compounds, thereby losing its particular properties and turning into a totally different and useless substance.

One Single Protein Refutes Evolution

What really obliterates Darwinism, before fossils, paleontology, microbiology, genetics and the complexity in living things, is a single protein. That is because the probability of a single protein forming by chance is simply "zero."

The main reason for this is the need for other proteins to be present if one protein is to form, and this completely eradicates the possibility of chance formation. This fact by itself is sufficient to eliminate the evolutionist claim of chance right from the outset. To summarize,

Protein cannot be synthesized without enzymes, and enzymes are all proteins.

Around 100 proteins need to be present in order for a single protein to be synthesized. There therefore need to be proteins for proteins to exist.

DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing enzymes. Protein cannot be synthesized without DNA. DNA is therefore also needed in order for proteins to form.

All the organelles in the cell have important tasks in protein synthesis. In other words, in order for proteins to form a perfect and fully functioning cell needs to exist together with all its organelles.

The fact that Darwinists are unable to account for a single protein completely eliminates the theory of evolution. After that, all false accounts manufactured about evolution are invalid right from the outset.

One important feature of Darwinist demagoguery is that Darwinists always tended to reduce the question of the origin of life to the very simple despite all the complexity of life, by portraying everything within it as very simple. They ignorantly say, “the cell emerged from muddy water” and “DNA spontaneously began replicating itself.”

Not only do people now know that a single protein is far too complex ever to come into being spontaneously, they are also aware that neither a protein, DNA, RNA or any other minute component of the cell will serve any purpose in the absence of the cell as a whole.

While they cannot explain just a single protein, a complete cell with its extreme complexity is really a great nightmare for Darwinists.

The complexity of the cell, which is far greater and dazzling than that of great metropolises, cannot be explained as the work of mere coincidences. Neither a single cell nor a single protein can form by chance.
