Creation Moment 6/20/2024 - Your billions of motors

Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 
Isaiah 43:7

"But did you know we have billions of motors that are much more complex than anyone can build—in our cells? The world’s smallest motor is called ATP synthase, and you have trillions of them in your body. 100,000 would fit side-by-side on a millimeter.

It is very important that these motors work correctly, because they make the fuel that our cells run on. They produce a chemical called ATP—about your body weight in ATP every day! Cyanide is such a deadly poison because it stops ATP production.

This motor is powered by an electrical current, thanks to another part of the cell that acts like a tiny battery. It spins at 10,000 rpm, and each turn produces three molecules of ATP. The ATP motor is almost 100% efficient: almost all the electrical energy is turned into ATP.

ATP synthase could not have evolved, because you can’t have evolution before you have a living thing that can make copies of itself, and every example of a living thing we know of has ATP synthase—it’s needed to live."
