Phosphorus plays a crucial role in life chemistry. Phosphates serve as the backbone for all nucleic acids and are the major repository of chemical energy for metabolism. The human body contains about 11,000 parts per million of phosphorus by weight.
Biochemical Design"Junk" Dna Not So Junky
1/1/2000 A recent report by researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) provides new evidence that non-coding DNA (typically referred to as “junk” DNA or “selfish” DNA) is not useless. Instead it appears to serve an essential function in complex cells. 30% Inefficiency By Design
4/1/2001 Cells use a highly wasteful process when producing proteins. Roughly 30 percent of all newly synthesized proteins must be degraded (broken down) by the cell immediately after formation because they are improperly made. A Biochemical Watch Found in a Cellular Heath

5/22/2008 A sampling of new research uncovers more function for junk DNA, undermines one of the best arguments for biological evolution Aaa+ Biomolecular Motors Provide A-1 Evidence for Design
10/29/2009 One of the things I find intriguing as a biochemist is how much the inner workings of the cell have in common with an automobile engine. A number of protein complexes inside the cell operate as molecular-level machines. In fact, some of these machines bear a startling similarity to man-made machines. This similarity represents a potent argument for intelligent design. Are Pseudogenes Junk?
5/31/2007 Evolutionary biologists regard “junk” DNA as one of the most potent pieces of evidence for biological evolution. Often identical (or nearly identical) segments of junk DNA occur in a wide range of related organisms. Award-winning Protein Discovery Reveals Design
1/1/2005 Each year the Nobel Foundation gives awards for accomplishments that benefit humanity. The 2004 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to biochemists Aaron Ciechanover and Avram Hershko (from Israel) and Irwin Rose (America) for ground-breaking work in understanding the molecular basis of diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.1 Bacteria More Complex Than Imagined
8/05/2010 A few weeks ago, my wife and I headed up to Pismo Beach for a few days for a little R&R. While there, we decided it would be fun to rent a couple of buggies and ride the dunes. Bacteria Organized By Design, Part 1 (of 2)
7/22/2010 I am not a very organized person. One look at my office would attest to that. Occasionally, I reach the point where I can’t take the clutter any longer and decide to roll up my sleeves and put things in order. Bacteria Organized By Design, Part 2 (of 2)
7/29/2010 In graduate school I loved spending time in the library, walking around “the stacks.” Admittedly, I am a geek, but strolling up and down the library aisles, surrounded by rows of bound journals, was a borderline religious experience for me. I’d often think to myself, “Here I am immersed in a vast body of knowledge and all I have to do is grab a volume off the shelf to obtain that knowledge for myself.” Bacteria: Ordered And Organized

7/1/2006 "How low can you go?" This familiar call challenges limbo dancers to maneuver their way under a stick held ever closer to the ground. Some biochemists have taken part in a stick dance of their own. Advances in molecular biology make it possible for scientists to take up the challenge of determining "How low can life go?" as they assess life's minimal complexity. Biology’s Morse Code
8/06/2010 Long before Samuel Morse put his telegraphic code to work, neurons and other cells were processing extracellular dash- and dot-type signals into instructions for cellular decisions. Researchers in Germany recently reported on how the cell reads and responds to these directions. Bombarded By Design
5/9/2008 “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” — Richard Dawkins, atheist biologist, in The Blind Watchmaker Book Reviews: Unmasking Misconceptions
4/1/2002 The Human Genome Project (HGP) and affiliated technologies, such as cloning and stem cell research, elicit both confusion and concern. Advances in biotechnology may promise cures for many horrible diseases, but they also seemingly place scientists in the position to play God. Bringing Order To The Case For Intelligent Design, Part 1
9/24/2009 During my junior year I became enthralled with cell membranes. Of all the remarkable biochemical systems that constitute life, I found life's molecular boundaries to be the most fascinating. In graduate school, I decided to focus my studies on cell membrane systems. Bringing Order To The Case For Intelligent Design, Part 2
10/1/2009 Last week I mentioned that in graduate school I studied and conducted research on cell membranes. The fluid mosaic model for the structure of cell membranes that I learned in the mid 1980s was conceived only about a decade earlier. Changing Gears
7/11/2008 The intricate design present in biological systems never ceases to amaze. A few months ago I wrote about molecular motors present in biological cells and how they are giving insight to researchers in nanotechnology, either providing them with improved motor designs or actual devices to use in driving man-made miniature machines.

11/28/2008 In part 1 of this series we learned how the genetic system is an information-processing system, and outlined several reasons why we could expect to find coding techniques in play to protect the genetic data. Such coding techniques are known and used by engineers to protect the data processed by many modern digital communications systems. Error Control Coding In Biology Implies Design, Part 3 (of 5)
5/12/2008 Parts 1 and 2 of this series observed that biological genetic systems function as information-processing systems, and a case was made for coding techniques that protect the genetic data. As a specific example, the genetic code appears designed to minimize the effects of errors in a way that is directly analogous to Gray codes. Error Control Coding In Biology Implies Design, Part 4 (of 5)
12/12/2008 Anyone up for tic-tac-toe and genetics? It’s not exactly a game, but grab a cup of coffee and let’s explore the intriguing design in genetic systems. Error Control Coding In Biology Implies Design, Part 5 (of 5)

8/5/2009 A quick survey of the world around us makes it pretty clear that we just can’t live without hydrogen. I live in Baltimore, and every Friday in the summer cars pack onto Interstate 95, headed to the beaches of Delaware or to Ocean City (Maryland or New Jersey). Yet, without hydrogen we wouldn’t have clear blue ocean waters or gasoline for our cars or steel or plastic to make cars—you get the picture. Little Motors, Big Designer
1/18/2008 As a student I came across the humorous definition of a nuclear physicist as one who was “learning more and more about less and less, until finally he knew everything about nothing.” In today’s world of research, this reference to the wonders of nature at its tiniest levels could also be said about the biologist.

10/1/2003 The biblical record of patriarchs who lived 900+ years has raised questions and doubts for centuries. In the context of current life expectancy (which places me on the brink of “senior citizen” status), some Bible readers assume the “years” in the Genesis 5 and 11 chronologies must have been shorter than the familiar 12-month whirl around the Sun. New Discovery Pumps Up Evidence For Design
1/1/2007 Nobody likes an infection. Most illnesses caused by bacteria present little more than a nuisance easily treated with a few doses of antibiotics. But some infections can be life-threatening and require carefully controlled administration of drugs. In such cases, physicians sometimes make use of a small, portable medical device powered by a peristaltic pump (see sidebar) to deliver the right amount of drugs through an IV to the patient.

Price: $1.00 Answer to Life's Big Questions May 2006a How Can We Explain the Sequence and History of Life on Earth? Part 1 Beyond Irreducible Complexity (Audio CD)
Price: $7.00 Over the last several years, Michael Behe's (Darwin's Black Box) idea of "irreducible complexity" has enabled the Intelligent Design community to make great strides. Now, Dr. Fazale ("Fuz") Rana, advances the evidence for biochemical design to the next level. In fact, Dr. Rana believes that irreducible complexity is only one in a chain of arguments that can be marshaled to build an overwhelming cumulative case for biochemical design. Creation & Evolution 101
Price: $12.99 In this entry in their Christianity 101 series, Bruce and Stan provide a very basic introduction to science apologetics, compatible with many of RTB's perspectives. This book is a great, non-threatening way to introduce other Christians to an old-earth creationist approach to integrating the Bible and science. The included questions for application and discussion make this userfriendly guide perfect for individual or group use. (Note: This is a revised version of a previous title, Bruce and Stan's Guide to How it All Began, by the same authors.) Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution
Price: $15.00 Michael Behe asks, "What would happen if we discovered something scientific that refuted Darwinism?" Though not a creationist per se, Behe argues that the limits of Darwinian evolution have been right under our noses in a world so small we haven't noticed. Biochemists have unexpectedly discovered a realm of Lilliputian complexity. The more intricate and interdependent each of the body's parts proves to be, the more difficulty biologists face in explaining life by random, gradual processes. Design becomes a compelling notion. Evolution: A Theory In Crisis
Price: $5.00 Michael Denton, a renowned molecular biologist, investigates the proposed mechanisms driving neo-Darwinian evolution. He sets out to explain the gathering evidence against biological evolution in its traditional form. He gives a clear account of the growing crisis in biology and enables readers to understand why an increasing number of research scientists question Darwinism. He concludes from his rigorous analysis of the fossil record and biochemical data that strictly natural evolution cannot explain the diversity of life on earth.
