The Armored Virus

Scientists in Darwin's day thought single celled microbes were simply bags filled with some kind of jelly. Were they right? Find out on today’s Creation Moments Minute.

Viruses that infect bacteria, called bacteriophages, inject their DNA into bacterial cells with something that looks like a syringe. Some bacteriophages even make a unique outer shell out of protein. The protein must be folded and assembled and then changed into an interlocking pattern to form this protective armor. As one scientist put it, "People don't know how to make proteins, let alone fold, assemble, and then transform them into something like this."

Contrary to what Darwin's followers still believe, there is no simple form of life. That's because there is a Creator, and He will provide all who follow Him with salvation, and then He will give us spiritual armor to protect us from our spiritual enemies.
