Michael Behe
Now, a car has some 30,000 parts. We don't dismiss the complexity of what goes on under our hood. That's why dealing with a mechanic intimidates us. Yet evolutionary biology encourages us to dismiss the far, far greater complexity of what goes on in the 40 trillion cells in our body. On this episode, Behe sketches the very special, irreducible complexity of cellular machines.
How did this complexity evolve? "Could it have been developed blindly," Professor Behe asks, "in stages?" That's a question he will address next week. Look for that episode at Evolution News on Wednesday. Find the first episode here.
Discovery Institute produced Secrets of the Cell with Michael Behe to reach that wide audience who have been soothed, by our education and by the media, into assuming that evolutionists have questions like this, the mystery of the cell, all figured out. They don't! Please help your friends and family by sharing this YouTube series widely!
It is said that, on average, every cell in a human body is replaced every 7 years
Which means that over the course of a lifetime of 70 years, there has been a continuous co-operation between 4 quadrillion independent living conscious cells, or beings, to maintain a single, human, being.
That's 4,000,000,000,000,000 individuals. If cells were stars, they'd fill 40,000 milky-way galaxies.
