The way life synthesizes its components is much different from they way it is necessary for it to be created in the laboratory. We compare hemoglobin and chlorophyll. Their similar structure and biosynthesis in the animal and plant kingdoms speak of a common designer who wrote the computer code and reused the same design in both plants and animals to fix carbon dioxide and oxygen. Creating the life components of amino acids and nucleotides in the laboratory is difficult at best, and they must be in the right amounts, right configuration, right time and right place. Water is an enemy to the reaction to form the peptide bond, so in order to create polypeptides, solid phase synthesis techniques must be employed, and these are unnatural. There is an interplay and interdependence between DNA, RNA, proteins and their synthesis in life where the formation of DNA is dependent upon the protein DNA polymerase. A biochemist who understands this ought to be the first in church, recognizing the impossibility for chance to produce life, and giving honor and glory to the creator.
