Chemical Evolution: The Problem Of Improbable Proteins
by Richard Peachey Living cells employ proteins to perform a variety of important functions, including catalysis, structure, storage, communication, movement, transport, gatekeeping, and defense. To construct proteins from amino acid “building blocks,” cells use very complex procedures. But evolutionists suggest that these key molecules originally came into being through naturalistic,
Are “Vestigial Organs” Valid Evidence of Evolution?
