SECRETS OF THE CELL(Part 2): What Do Your Body’s Cells Have in Common With Your Car’s Engine?
(FIVE-MINUTE WATCH) — If you know about automobile engines, you know they consist of hundreds of parts, the vast majority of which are essential to the proper functioning of the whole unit so that it can do what it was designed to do – Move you from Point A to Point B.
To cite just one example, camshafts are the tabbed steel piece that open and close the valves that let mixtures of gas and oxygen into the cylinders in order to be ignited, which produces power, and is then exhausted out the tailpipe.
The mouse trap made up of five parts, all of which must be present and accounted for to catch that furry pest. (Screenshot from YouTube).
When crankshafts quit working properly, as when they “skip” timing, you stop going where you are going.
This is an illustration of the camshaft’s characteristic of “Irreducible Complexity.” Same principle applies to something as simple as the mouse trap consisting of a mere five parts.
That is, like so many other parts of the engine, the powerplant can’t function without every one of those parts being in its proper place. You can have all the fuel injection units, pistons, crankshafts, gas lines and so forth. But without a camshaft, the engine ain’t turning over to ignition.
In the following Part 2 of the “Secrets of the Cell” video series with biochemist Michael Behe of the Discovery Institute, he explains Irresistible Complexity in the human body with wonderfully illustrated graphics and multiple complex terms translated into layman’s terms:
