Creation Moment 4/19/2021 - Your Dimmer Switch & it's Sensor

"Researchers have found a dimmer switch inside a protein. It tunes
the protein’s configuration to take advantage of quantum mechanics during photosynthesis.
Two parallels with human engineering leave no doubts about the engineered origins of this light collector.

University of Chicago scientists found an elegant sensor connected to the dimmer switch. Two critical chemical parts of the protein together act “as a trigger,” according to University of Chicago news.

Gregory Engel is a chemist at the University of Chicago. His group described when the trigger senses oxygen
---Too much oxygen would damage the light-harvesting machines faster than the bacteria could rebuild them. The trigger acts as a failsafe. High oxygen levels trip the trigger, which then uses quantum mechanics to redirect light energy away from the most sensitive energy transfer equipment.

*Today’s triggers don’t happen by chance, they happen on purpose. Could these bacteria come with purpose baked into the protein?

Engel told the university, “Were these results just a consequence of biology being built from molecules, or did they have a purpose? This is the first time we are seeing biology actively exploiting quantum effects.”
 In so many words, yes, this team found the kinds of devices—sensors and dimmer switches—that only arise when an engineer intends a specific purpose. So we are actually seeing God actively exploit quantum effects in his purposeful construction of photosynthetic bacteria.

It looks like these bacteria were crafted from the top-down instead of bottom-up.

They parallel the activities of human engineers. 
But those same engineers cannot explain, they can only marvel at the elegance of operation, miniaturization of scale, and intimate knowledge of quantum-mechanics that typify the Person who engineered light-harvesting nanotechnology into these invisible cells.
