There is a sharp divide amongst people who believe that life was created by god and others who say that life evolved accidentally when the situation was just right. The main issue is that those who believe that god created life have no patience to listen to scientists and scientists do not want to listen to the idea that God created all this. What do proteins tell us about life and how it might have been created?



What are proteins?

Proteins are constructed from one or more unbranched chains of amino acids. Proteins are polymers. Proteins are made when amino acids combine in a given order in chain form. No two proteins have the same sequence of amino acids. Every protein has a different number and arrangement of amino acids. A typical protein contains 200-300 amino acids. Some are large, the largest being known as titin that contains 26,926 amino acids in a single chain. Some proteins are smaller.

Human body is supposed to have about one million proteins. When we discuss about life being created accidentally and evolving do we say that all these proteins were made accidentally? Can you calculate how many possibilities are there for a protein of 100 amino acids to form? It is a very huge number. Every amino acid has to join the earlier in the given sequence. A single acid missing or more will stop the formation. Now take your calculator and ask a scientist about what are the chances that amino acids will form a chain and make titin, he/she will stop calculation half way because the answer may be so near to zero that it may be called as zero.

Those who believe that God created the living beings need to pick up any protein and ask a non-believer about how it was formed.
