Joining us from Creation Ministries International for Conference 2010 will be Mr. Calvin Smith.
Calvin has spoken on creation topics since 2001 at youth groups, Christian schools, churches and small groups. He has also appeared on the CTS live call-in television program ‘Nite Lite Live’ several times, speaking about the creation/evolution issue. He also co-hosts CMI’s TV show Creation Magazine Live!
Through lots of reading, Calvin has become well equipped to talk about many aspects of science and history that relate to the creation/evolution controversy. He has consistently immersed himself in creation apologetics through seminars, classes, scientific papers and hands-on opportunities to study. When asked what formal science background he has, Calvin responds, “the same as Charles Darwin. His only formal training was in Theology!” (You can read Calvin’s full ministry profile at Creation.com.)
Calvin has interesting information to share about discoveries surrounding cell composition at the molecular level. Calvin is interested in molecular robots called ‘kinesins’. The ‘kinetic’ sound of the name implies motion, and that is certainly the case.
This 2006 video took 14 months to create, and was a joint project between animators at Harvard and Yale. It’s a theoretical rendering of the processes involved in protein transfer within a leukocyte.
In this article at Creation.com, Calvin writes,
Every cell also has ‘general laborers’ in the form of miniature genetic robots called ‘kinesins’. These are a family of tiny biological machines that transport material around in cells. They bring things to certain locations and remove parts that shouldn’t be there. They really are organic robots!
Amazingly, kinesins are inside every living plant and animal on Earth! (Even single-celled creatures have kinesins.) This suggests that evolutionists must factor this in when proposing the ‘first living thing’. It seems unlikely that the first living thing could have functioned without kinesins when everything today has them.
