But with the development of technology allowing us to study living things at a molecular level, it’s now realized that a single cell is enormously complex. And new jaw-dropping discoveries of its hitherto-unrealized complexity are continuing to be made. E.g. the cell has a ‘switchboard system’ to coordinate the multiplicity of biochemical events happening within.
And there are linear motors, too, including the kinesin protein that ‘walks’ as it transports essential components to where they are needed in the cell.
Note that every ‘step’ the kinesin protein takes requires one ATP molecule for energy—i.e. the ATP which is generated by the rotary ATP synthase motor. The eukaryotic cell needs both of these highly complex motors to be present and fully functional—and much more besides. No wonder the Psalmist wrote …
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14)
… and the Apostle Paul said:
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (Romans 1:20)
Indeed, there’s no excuse! Especially as modern science continues to reveal the irreducible complexity in life’s biochemistry."
