![]() The rocks yielded metal, the sand turned to glass,Īnd as the years flew, a new thing came to pass. The stage was all set in the deep of the night.Ī bolt of white lightning, a great peal of thunder,Īnd suddenly there was a marvelous wonder. Some sand and some rocks to make it just right, Some water and dirt got mixed up with the air. ![]() Thinking about all this inspired me to write a poem, The Watchmaker. ![]() And you say Christians are the ones who have blind faith! Yes, Richard, it takes a very large leap alright! In fact, it takes Blind Faith. xvi) to see that there is another, more plausible way that these complex ‘designs’ arose. 43.Īfter this admission of apparent design, he spends the remainder of the book trying to make the reader believe that these wonders of nature are NOT designed! He says it took Darwin and Wallace a “very large leap of the imagination” (p. ![]() How, then, did they come into existence?” Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, W.W. “We have seen that living things are too improbable and too beautifully ‘designed’ to have come into existence by chance. Cell 92 (8 February): 291-94).Īlthough he tries to explain it away, even the ardent atheist Richard Dawkins cannot escape the obvious fact of Design in Nature … he spends all of Chapter 2 of his book, The Blind Watchmaker, elucidating the wonders of bat echolocation, then says, The Cell as a Collection of Protein Machines: Preparing the NextGeneration of Molecular Biologists. Why do we call the large protein assemblies that underlie cell function protein machines? Precisely because, like machines invented by humans to deal efficiently with the macroscopic world these protein assemblies contain highly coordinated moving parts. The entire cell can be viewed as a factory that contains an elaborate network of interlocking assembly lines, each of which is composed of a set of large protein machines. Also see Denton’s Nature’s Destiny: How the Laws of Biology Reveal Purpose in the Universe.īruce Alberts, former President of the National Academy of Sciences wrote an article entitled The Cell as a Collection of Protein Machines. Molecular biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on earth today, bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex … a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the non-living world.” Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, Adler & Adler, 1986, pp. Between a living cell and the most highly ordered non-biological system, such as a crystal or a snowflake, there is a chasm as vast and absolute as it is possible to conceive. “We now know not only of the existence of a break between the living and non-living world, but also that it represents the most dramatic and fundamental of all the discontinuities of nature. Molecular Biologist Michael Denton says … Behe, Darwin’s Black Box, New York: The Free Press, 1996, p. “The simplicity that was once expected to be the foundation of life has proven to be a phantom instead, systems of horrendous, irreducible complexity inhabit the cell.” Michael J. The Apostle Paul writing in the book of Romans said, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20), and this is quite true.Biochemist Michael Behe says … One of the most obvious and convincing evidences for the God of the Bible has always been the wonderful innovations we find in nature.
