Last week The Daily News published an article from the Associated Press, stating that scientists from Austria discovered clues showing how fertilization works like a lock and key across the animal kingdom.

They discovered that three proteins on the surface of sperm join to form a sort of key that attaches to a protein on the egg’s surface, creating a pathway for the sperm to enter the egg.

They claim that this process has persisted for millions of years. Really? How did this process ever evolve to begin with?

Proteins are large, complex organic molecules consisting of amino acids all aligned in a very specific way. Any small molecular change in any one of them would negate the protein’s function to act like a lock and key.

It seems impossible to conceive of an evolutionary process that would result in sexual reproduction. Male and female systems would have to be completely and independently evolved at each stage at the same time and place. Furthermore, behavioral and physical characteristics of each sex would need to be compatible.

Seems like the most basic of all scientific laws comes into play here — the law of cause and effect (no effect greater than its cause). This law becomes utmost nonsense if this orderly universe and all the highly organized life it contains evolved by chance.

Every creature — from a single-cell amoeba to the lock-and-key process necessary for fertilization, to the amazing human body — bears the impress of intricate planning and construction by a sovereign, all-powerful God who had it all planned from the beginning — all to prove his existence and to display his glory throughout the universe!
