Who cares about Geology? GOD MADE ME!

I'm kind of tired of people using geology to prove evolution and tell me that the world is 4.5 billion years old. You can't use that argument against Creation with me because I believe that God created adult humans, adult chicken (Which came first: chicken or egg? Chicken!), adult plants... Who's to say He didn't create an adult earth too?!

Another thing:
People say that proteins can be formed under the right conditions. Well, I hate to be a bubble burster (okay, maybe not!) but did they ever consider Louis Pasteur's contributions to the world of science in the 1800's?
Before I tell you all about one contribution in particular, note that prior to it, another scientist "proved" spontaneous generation. He put all of the necessary components into a flask at the proper atmospheric pressure/temperature/pH/etc. for the time at which scientists believe life began.  And, what do ya know? Life showed up in the flask.
HOWEVER:
This is where Pasteur came into the picture. The flask the other scientist was using was open to dust particles and other things that can simply fall into the experimental environment and contaminate the results (This can't be argued--after all, penicillin was discovered when a tiny particle of Penicillium fell onto an agar plate). Louis Pasteur developed a "swan-necked" flask that was open to the air (had to be!) but didn't allow microorganisms into the tube! This was possible because microorganisms may have been able to fall into the opening, but the special neck of the flask was bent in such a way that it also sloped upward, microorganisms don't climb. He used the same conditions as the previous scientist, same reagents/components/etc. and what happened?
Absolutely nothing.

That's right. You can't just stick all of the necessary components of life in a test tube (or in this case, a flask) and expect something to grow! People have even since tried putting all of the components of a living cell in a space together and nothing happened: no membrane formed, no replication, nothing.
Face it:
The cell theory itself says (as Robert Remak--and later, Virchow--noted), "Omnis cellula e celula" (cells arise ONLY from pre-existing cells)!!
 Because of this tenet, even the most evolutionary-minded biologists recognize that there had to be a first cell in order to create further cells. Sure, those biologists might also have some twisted views on how that first cell came to existence, but they still know that cells don't just appear from nothing!

Okay, back to proteins!
Another thing about a protein is that they all have different sequences of amino acids. There are TONS of proteins that can be made within  a cell from only 20 amino acids. Every time one particular sequence is made, it folds the EXACT SAME way as every single prior time that specific sequence was made. Even my cell biology professor who has been studying cells forever, teaches graduate-level courses in cell and membrane biology, and is doing research on cells and DNA says that no one knows why the same folding occurs every time!  There is no apparent reason for it (except of course...GOD made it that way!).

Proteins are fascinating entities to life; one simple little change can make or break life. For example, a single replacement of one specific amino acid of a particular protein (I don't know which one) can be the difference between a healthy individual and someone with sickle-cell anemia.
I wish I knew more about proteins and all of the wonderful qualities they possess, but I'll have to stick to what I know for now. But if even I, an undergraduate biology student, can see that these things are SO complex that they couldn't have just appeared, why can't everyone else?


Alright, one last point. Are you still with me?!
Cell division.
The nucleus.
During mitosis, the nuclear envelope (surrounding the nucleus) completely dissolves itself, and then it reforms itself, after nuclear division, around the new nuclei!
How could something so incredibly complex as a nuclear envelope just BREAK itself down and BUILD itself back up somewhere else?!
This might shock you, but: NOBODY KNOWS!



There's so much we don't know, so much we just don't/can't understand. Maybe one day we'll figure out how these things happen, and we'll get a little more insight into the amazing things God's created here.
Until then, they're just mysteries.
And I'm happy to keep them that way for now! :)
