The Cells Design: How Chemistry
Reveals the Creators Artistry by
Fazale Rana
Eye-Opener
Armed with cutting-edge techniques, biochemists have unwittingly
uncovered startling molecular features inside the cell that compel only one
possible conclusion--a supernatural agent must be responsible for life.
Destined to be a landmark apologetic work, The Cells Design explores the
full scientific and theological impact of these discoveries. Instead of
focusing on the inability of natural processes to generate lifes chemical
systems (as nearly all apologetics works do), Fazale Rana makes a
positive case for lifes supernatural basis by highlighting the many
biochemical features that reflect the Creators hallmark signature. This
breakthrough work extends the case for design beyond irreducible
complexity. These never-before-discussed evidences for design will evoke
awe and amazement at Gods creative majesty in the remarkable elegance
of the cells chemistry.

Personal Review: The Cells Design: How Chemistry Reveals the
Creators Artistry by Fazale Rana
Rana's chief argument, i.e., that the microbiological features of cells'
designs are analogous to man-made machines and systems, succeeds
because it is completely detailed and the comparisons fully developed. The
nature of biochemistry is detail, long exotic names, and complexity. When
you read this book as a layman, some of the complexity is daunting--even
overwhelming at times. If you're a biochemist or even a microbiologist, you
will be in comfortable territory. Because I had to struggle through much of
the book's technical detail, it took me a long time to read. Yet when I was
done I recognized that I had just been exposed to secrets of cellular
components and systems that few laymen ever know.
The effort was surely worth the work: no one who reads this book open-
mindedly could ever believe that the cell is the product of randomized
evolution. The cellular machines and systems are so convincingly
revealed AS machines and systems that the argument from analogy is
clearly validated, each point of relevant comparison explicated and
affirmed by peer-reviewed evidence.
While I was enthralled with the beauty and intricate perfection of the
astounding number and complexity of just-right relations among parts,
functions, timing, feedback, self-correction, and many other features of
cells, I focused on the legitimacy of the argument from analogy when I was
all done. Those who wish to deny that living things are analogous to man-
made machines can only do so effectively when their audience is ignorant
of the facts. Rana's book elucidates the facts. Yet the facts are only
meaningful if they show the points of relevant comparison between man-
made machines and the machines/systems within the cells. Rana here
uses a leitmotif of an art mystery through the book to help us understand
those points of relevance. Although I'm not sure creating this extra literary
layer made it easier to read the book, it did help the layman understand the
connections that make the analogy work. It may even be better to say
there are many analogies, and Rana did a great job explaining them,
complicated as some may be.
In the end, this book contributes greatly to the general argument for the
existence of God by defeating Paley's opponents with rich evidence for
keen mechanical, chemical, and system-engineering designs throughout
cells. More complex than any watch Paley (or Hume!) could have
imagined, the designs of cells are obviously intelligently designed.
Rana is clear Who the Designer is, and he therefore goes beyond the
timidity of the "Intelligent Design" movement. As such, this book is clearly a
Christian apologetic. But whether atheist, skeptic, Christian, or otherwise,
anyone will find the book worth reading for its novel approach to the
argument from analogy, its candor, its expertly detailed descriptions, and
its revelations of cellular systems and machines that astonish and awe.
