Creation Moment 4/14/2017 - Werner Arber

And God created...every living creature that moveth,..
Genesis 1:21

"In 1978, microbiologist Werner Arber received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (sharing

the honor with Daniel Nathans and Hamilton O. Smith) for the discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to molecular genetics. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific places called restriction sites, allowing researchers to work with small sections of genes and to carry out recombinant DNA work, a process that launched the modern genetic revolution.
This discovery marked the "beginning of a new era of genetics," starting an avalanche of research in molecular genetics that opened wide the route to answering many major questions in cell biology and biochemistry. The study areas affected by Arber's discovery include solving the basic problem of cell differentiation and control, and even the cell repair mechanisms.
Born on June 3, 1929, in Switzerland, Werner Arber earned his Ph.D. in biophysics from the University of Geneva in 1958.
An Intelligent Design Supporter
After a lifetime of research, Arber summarized his main conclusion about intelligent design (ID) in the following words:

Although a biologist, I must confess I do not understand how life came about.... I consider that life only starts at the level of a functional cell. The most primitive cells may require at least several hundred different specific biological macro-molecules. How such already quite complex structures may have come together, remains a mystery to me. The possibility of the existence of a Creator, of God, represents to me a satisfactory solution to this problem.

He concluded that religion is important to help humans cope not only with the problem of biological origins, but also with the questions that we all encounter in life." ICR
