Intelligent Reasoning

Promoting, advancing and defending Intelligent Design via data, logic and Intelligent Reasoning and exposing the alleged theory of evolution as the nonsense it is. I also educate evotards about ID and the alleged theory of evolution one tard at a time and sometimes in groups

Evidence for Intelligent Design in Cellular Waste Management- the Proteasome

-
Proteasomes are cellular waste management macromolecules. They are even barrell-shaped complexes, with a lid!

What does the proteasome do? Breaks down useless, used and damaged proteins/ enzymes (well any protein/ enzyme that is marked for destruction)- breaks them down into smaller amino acid chains so they can be used again to form some other protein/ enzyme.

Understanding/ knowing which proteins/ enzymes to degrade is key as these protein machines can degrade all proteins/ enzymes in the cell. We wouldn't want to have these binding to and degrading proteins/ enzymes at will.

So recycling the waste, the used, the damaged and the useless is the job of these barrel-shaped waste management machines. The number of components? Nineteen, well above the five needed for the mousetrap depicted in "Darwin's Black Box", meaning well above the reaches of blind, undirected chemical processes.

    Dear Joe,

    Finally an Intelligent-Design disciple, who is able to correctly pick up the results of current research.

    Indeed, the whole metabolic functionality of every such creature on this planet must be highly regulated. Complex machines are required for that, which have evolved over hundreds of generations of living organisms to finally reach the complexity, they have today. Thus allowing us humans to be more than the monocellular entities, which thrived in the primal soup.

    Me, The One-Eyed King
