These Molecular Sorting Machines Cooperate With Each Other in a “Complex Topology”

The mitochondria inner membrane has an army of protein machines that carry out the mitochondria’s job of constructing ATP molecules—the all-purpose cellular energy source. These proteins are specialized for specific tasks and are precisely arranged in the inner membrane environment. As one writer explained:

The generators in the cellular power plants are biological membranes located inside the mitochondria. Even minute errors in the composition of the inner mitochondrial membrane can lead to severe metabolic derangements, which can have an especially negative impact on the energy-hungry muscle and nerve cells. In order to function, the cellular generators depend on the support of numerous highly specialized membrane proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Not surprisingly, except to evolutionists, the machinery that transports and locates these protein machines is also highly complex. In fact, research is now indicating that at least two different sorting machines, using two different mechanisms, work in a cooperative and coordinated manner:

Stop-transfer and conservative sorting are not mutually exclusive pathways but represent sorting mechanisms that cooperate in the membrane integration of a protein with complex topology. We conclude that the multispanning protein is inserted in a modular manner by the coordinated action of two inner-membrane preprotein translocases.

Findings such as these are common in biology. Evolutionists misrepresent the biological world as a fluke that just happened to come together. They cannot explain how this is possible, but they insist it must be so. Within evolution there is a sort of militant advocacy that cannot tolerate even so much as minor doubts about whether evolution is true. It is perfectly acceptable to doubt the various sub hypotheses of evolution, but not evolution itself. This is because if evolution is not true, then all kinds of dogmatic convictions come into question. And so it is imperative for evolutionists to defend their theory at any cost, even if that includes casting scientific inquiry as nefarious, blackballing dissenters, misrepresenting science, and so forth. Of course most evolutionists would never think of their movement in such terms. Instead, evolution is viewed as “just science” and any doubt about evolution is viewed as religiously-motivated creationism. The truth is precisely the opposite.
