The Miracle of Amino Acid Production

Manufacturing plants contain highly importantsystems for industry.
Thematerials scheduled for production are manufactured in a
systematic, high-quality and controlled manner. Many machines and
equipment are required for even a single product. Engineers,
scientists and laborers work together to produce these
machines.Systems that will produce the best outcomes are produced
through detailed calculations and designs.This work is never left
tochance. On the contrary, every stage of manufacturing is kept under
strict control. Modern biology and genetics have shown, just as in
these examples, that there are high-technology factories and
productionplants in the living world, as well. One of these involves
the production of amino acids, the basic building blocks of the body.
You of course realize that the production plant you are seeing here
did not come into being by chance. Our cells also have their own
production plants. Theseall show that all the systems in living things
are under the control of a sublime mind.
The Amino Acid Miracle
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. There are 20 types of
amino acid in living things. Enzymes and the complex manufacturers in
the celluse amino acids to build skyscraper-like giant molecules, or
proteins. Controlling the amount of amino acids is therefore a most
important task.
Amino acids form as the result of an exceptionally detailed chain of
production. There are enzymes that work with great care foramino acid
production. However, there is one very interesting detail here.
Enzymes also consist of protein structures, and are therefore also
made up of amino acids. Gradual evolution is therefore out of the
question. There can be no enzyme production without amino acids, and
no amino acid production without enzymes .
Twenty types of amino acid are used in protein production. The
production of these 20 amino acids inside the cell is a miracle
because the enzymes responsible for production also consist of amino
acids.
Proteins are giant structures, just like skyscrapers, in the molecular
world. Of course, no skyscraper comes into being by chance. And
neither does an exceedingly complex protein.
Details of the System
The amino acids used in living things consist of atoms such as carbon,
nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. These substances are worked by scores
of enzymes, operating just like master craftsmen. Each enzyme is
involved in only one task; it assembles a single amino acid in a
single area of a single molecule. They perform that task perfectly and
tothe letter. Enzymes work like workers on a production line. Each one
goes into action at just the right time. They continue to take over a
substance produced by one enzyme and then to hand it on to another.
The absence of just one enzyme, or even a tiny flaw in its
architecture, will bring the whole system down.
The construction sector is one of the world's major commercial
spheres. Factories are needed to manufacture the materials used in
construction. Structural materials such as roof tiles used in
constructionare also made in factories. A similar situation applies in
our cells. Amino acids are like bricks that build proteins. Just like
brick and iron/steel factories, cells have their own production lines
for the manufacture of amino acids.
A diagram showing the formation of amino acids. Each arrow represents
the chemical processes required for amino acids to form. There are
enzymes responsible for each chemical process. Therefore, several
enzymes are responsible just for amino acid production in our cells.
As we have seen, amino acid production takes place in a highly
controlled manner. There is no room for chance in the cell. In
addition, these enzymes that assemble a single atom in a molecular
mass are also made up of amino acids. And this shows that the system
was created as a whole.
For example, 25 enzymeswork in collaboration just in order to produce
six of the 20 types of amino acids in bacteria -methionine, threonine,
lysine, isoleucine, valine and leucine. [i] The raw materials used by
these enzymes cannot be obtained through random processes. Theseraw
materials are again produced by many enzymes in collaboration. Their
production is a miracle all by itself.
The workers on the production line in a factory loyally and devotedly
carry out procedures one after theother. All have their ownfunctions.
The absence of one of the workers performing these tasks will cause
the product tobe faulty and useless. The presence of enzymes, which
are far more complex than amino acids, is essential for the production
of amino acids, the basic building blocks of the cell. Life is an
exceedingly complex whole in which there is no room for chance.
The Striking Truth Hidden in the Amino Acid Production System
Evolutionists claim, in the light of their superstitious beliefs, that
living things developed gradually, by chance, from the primitive to
the more advanced. Accordingly, they refer to bacteria as primitive
life forms. Yet careful examination of any bacterium will reveal that
it is equippedwith exceptionally complex systems. A single bacterium
is equipped with a more complex and advanced technology than those
found in modern cities:
Only 10 of the amino acids necessary for protein production in the
human cell can be manufactured in the body. We therefore obtain amino
acids by consuming amino acids produced in other living things. Yet
bacteria produce all 20 types of amino acid. [ii] Living forms that
evolutionists regard as primitive are far ahead when it comesto the
manufacture of amino acids, the basic mechanism of life.
Deficiencies in Enzymes in the Manufacture of Amino Acids Leads to
Sickness and Death, Not to Progress
We have seen how manyenzymes are involved in the synthesis of amino
acids, the building blocks of protein and much smaller than
them.However, any gaps in these enzymes, or even the slightest error,
leads to disease and death. This shows how sensitivethe system is, how
it leaves no room for error and how it could not have come into being
gradually. All the components of the system have to be present
together. And that is only possible withCreation.
For example, genetic errors in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase -
used in themanufacture of the amino acid tyrosine - may cause mental
retardation, irregular temperature control, impaired gait and
paralysis. [iii]
Parkinson's disease is also associated with a decrease in the cells
manufacturing dopamine, also obtainedfrom amino acids. [iv]
Not only the manufacture of amino acids is regulated, but also
destruction within the cell. Deficiencies in the enzymes responsible
for this task cause death and disease. Mutations in the genes that
code the enzyme alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenasecause the disease MSUD,
that results in physical and mental retardation and death. [v]
The details in the production of proteins and amino acids reveal that
life is arranged in such a way as to leave no room for chance. Not one
single protein can come into being by chance. Neither can the complex
system that manufactures the building blocks of proteins, amino acids
in other words, come about by chance. A far more complex system has
been created for a single product. Any flaw in this structure will
lead, not to progress in living things, but to sickness and death.
Life, with all its details, is a clear miracle from Allah.
