ATP Synthase: The power plant of the cell

ATP Synthase: The power plant of the cell - has a rotor, stator, driveshaft and camshaft.  The amazing design of life on display in this animation.  Another chicken and egg question:  What came first the motor or the energy?

Sophistication, coordination and communication of cells

Each day we learn more that supports the complexity of life.  Cells communicating, cooperating, working in concert, aware of each other all by chance.  Not a chance.  It smacks of design and programming. 

How cells communicate to move together as a group

Two cell membrane proteins, Fat2 and Lar, trigger leading and trailing edge movements during epithelial migration

A new signaling system has been discovered that epithelial cells use to coordinate their individual movements and efficiently move tissues, report scientists.  

"When an individual cell needs to move somewhere, it manages just fine on its own. It extends protrusions from its leading edge and retracts the trailing edge to scoot itself along, without having to worry about what the other cells around it are doing. But when cells are joined together in a sheet of tissue, or epithelium, they have to coordinate their movements with their neighbors. It's like walking by yourself versus navigating a crowded room. To push through the crowd, you have to communicate with others by talking ("Pardon me") or tapping them on the shoulder. Cells do the same thing, but instead of verbal cues and hand gestures, they use proteins to signal to each other."

In The Beginning...Are religion and science at war?

Scientism (see the Magician's Twin)has caused many people to lose their faith.  Faith and reason cannot be opposed as they flow from the same truth, aka God.  Are Christianity and science at war with each other?  Are we now in the real "Dark Ages"?  Salvo takes this on:

In the Beginning

Episodes in the Origin & Development of Science

"Not according to leading historians. "The greatest myth in the history of science and religion holds that they have been in a state of constant conflict," wrote historian of science Ronald Numbers in 2009.¹ Even though he and other historians of science have documented this conclusion thoroughly, many myths about the alleged warfare between science and theistic religion continue to be promulgated in popular literature and textbooks."

"This distinction is especially helpful when encountering statements from scientists that purport to be scientific but, on closer examination, prove actually to be theological, and thus outside the domain of science. Take the following statement by Stephen Hawking, for example, which appeared in his bestselling, co-authored book The Grand Design: "Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing."²

Scientists use mathematical calculations to PROVE the existence of God

SCIENTISTS have ‘confirmed’ the existence of God after proving a mathematician’s theory which suggests that there is a higher power.

New Book - Undeniable - Doug Axe

A remarkable thing about evolutionary theory is the way it demands that we deny our intuition at almost every step. Evolutionists then assure us that the science is all figured out, so we needn't trouble our silly heads about the relevant biology. In his new book, Douglas Axe of Biologic Institute turns this standard assurance on its head. In Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed (HarperOne 2016), Dr. Axe restores the place of intuition alongside intellect in considering the question of life's origins.

Just how difficult is the Origin of Life problem?

In this video James Tours describes his work with nanocars and the difficulty of solving the Origin of Life problem. 

Time is enemy as products of reactions degrade
Dream team could not develop a cell
Nobody understands
When will science community confess they have no clue
Abiogenesis nightmare


"Some may contend that I did not use Nature’s building blocks, such as carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleic acids and lipids. I concede, I took the easy route and used simple synthetic molecules, not Nature’s far more complex compounds where chirality and diastereoselectivity can be enormously problematic in synthesis. Thus here we will consider Nature’s building blocks, showing that many of the common parameters hold, yet they become far more difficult for prebiotic systems than for the synthetic chemist today."
