Rational Responders # 11 - Premise 2


In previous posts I've listed the brain and the eye as ingenious biological adaptations present in living organisms. These useful biological components are evidence for an ingenious, powerful, creator God.

The living cell is another fascinating biological structure. Michael Denton states that if we were to magnify a cell so that it were large enough to cover the city of New York "What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design." A continual stream of materials flow in and out of a cell. Denton says that the internal world of the cell is one of "supreme technology and bewildering complexity".

Denton goes on to say that if we were to see a magnified living cell "We would see endless high organized corridors and conduits branching in every direction away from the perimeter of the cell, some leading to the central memory bank in the nucleus and others to assembly plants and processing units....What we would be witnessing would be an object resembling an immense automated factory, a factory larger than a city and carrying out almost as many unique functions as all the manufacturing activities of man on earth....To witness such an act at a magnification of one thousand million times would be an awe-inspiring spectacle."

From Denton's book Evolution: A Theory In Crisis. (Adler & Adler, 1985, pages 328 & 329.)
