I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Psalm 139:14
"The order of amino acids in proteins is determined by information coded on genes.
---There are over 1.51 × 1084 possible genetic codes based on mapping 64 codons to 20 amino acids and a ‘stop’ signal (i.e. 64 → 21).
---The origin of code-based genetics is for evolutionists an utter mystery, since this requires a large number of irreducibly complex machines: ribosomes, RNA and DNA polymerases, aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (aaRS), release factors, etc.
---These machines consist for the most part of proteins, which poses a paradox: dozens of unrelated proteins are needed (plus several special RNA polymers) to process the encoded information. Without them the genetic code won’t work, but generating such proteins requires that the code already be functional.
This is one of many examples of ‘chicken-and-egg’ dilemmas faced by materialists. Another is the need for a reliable source of ATP for amino acids to polymerise to proteins: without the necessary proteins and genes already in place such ATP molecules won’t be produced. In addition, any genetic replicator needs a reliable ‘feed stock’ of nucleotides and amino acids, but several of the metabolic processes used by cells are interlinked."
