In Acts 3:15 (Top: Papyrus 74. Bottom: Codex Sinaiticus), Peter with John say to the crowd concerning Jesus, “You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.”
The Krebs cycle is a metabolic pathway involving 12 enzymes and is used by organisms that respire to generate energy. The cycle is unlikely to have come about by chance. (Cf. Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology 172, August 2022, 24-38).
Blood Coagulation System: Factors V VII VIII IX X XI XII XIII Prekallikrein Tissue Factor Prothrombin Fibrinogen t-PA u-PA TFI HC2 Proteins C S Z Plasminogen Antithrombin Thrombomulin Fibrin, etc. Irreducibly complex after initiation pathways converge.
The eukaryotic cilium has over 200 different kinds of protein parts, built on a system of microtubules. One of two engines is kinesin-2 which has two “feet” that walk while carrying a load. The cilium is irreducibly complex.
The ATP synthase machine with rotary motor is able to produce about 100 ATP molecules per second with near-100% efficiency. ATP synthase is irreducibly complex, which means all parts of the machine had to come into existence at once.
Lymphocyte cells can produce over 100,000,000 varieties of antibodies. The processes that produce antibodies require an array of molecular machines. The adaptive immune system is irreducibly complex. Top: Antibody 3D. Bottom: SEM blood incl. lymphocytes
“Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. And the lame man will leap … and the … mute will sing.” (Isaiah 35:5-6). “Large crowds came … lame, blind, mute, crippled … and he [Jesus] healed them.” (Matthew 15:30).
DNA Polymerase is a multiprotein machine that is involved in DNA replication and repair using a template strand. It tethers to DNA and uses a protein-based sliding clamp and then proofreads and fixes mistakes.
Acts 2:32 (Top: Codex Sinaiticus. Middle: Papyrus 74. Bottom: Papyrus 91) read (Peter, with the Eleven disciples, said): “God has raised this Jesus to life, to which we are all witnesses.”
Isaiah 53:9 (Top: DSS): “And they assigned his grave with the wicked, yet he was with the rich at his death.” Matthew 27:57,59 (Bottom: Sinaiticus): “a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph … placed it [the body of Jesus] in his own new tomb.”
Isaiah 53:8 (Top: LXX(L) tr. Hebrew): “In his humiliation, his justice was taken away … his life is taken from the earth.” Acts 8:33 (Bottom: Codex Laudianus): “In his humiliation, his justice was taken away … his life is taken from the earth.”
Isaiah 53:7 (Top: LXX Sinaiticus) “Like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.” Acts 8:32 (Bottom: Sinaiticus; cf. Matthew 27:14) “Like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.”
Isaiah 53:6 (DSS): “We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has placed upon him the iniquity of us all.” 1 Peter 2:25 (Sinaiticus): “For you were going astray like sheep.”
Isaiah 53:5 (DSS): “But he was wounded for our transgressions … and by his wounds we are healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 (Sinaiticus): “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree ... By his wounds you were healed.”
Isaiah 53:4 (DSS): “Surely he bore our diseases, and took our pains.” Matthew 8:17 (Sinaiticus): “In this way what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, ‘He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.’”
“He [God] alone stretches out the heavens, and walks on the waves of the sea.” (Job 9:8 LXX). “He [Jesus] came to them, walking on the sea …” (Mark 6:48 Codex Sinaiticus; Matthew 14:25).
Isaiah 44:24 (Top: LXX Sinaiticus. Bottom: Dead Sea Scroll 1QIsa(a), with translation) reads: “I am Yahweh, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who fashioned the earth all by myself.”
Helicase and topoisomerase molecular machines work together to unzip DNA and untangle supercoils in DNA strands during replication and transcription in a multi-step procedure.
Isaiah 53:1 (LXX): “Lord, who has believed our message?” John 12:37-38: “Although Jesus had performed so many signs … they still did not believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: ‘Lord, who has believed our message?’”
