Like Everything Necessary for Photosynthesis,Sunlight Has Also Been Specially Arranged

While all this is going on in the chemical factory, the features of the energy which will be used in the processes have been identified. When the photosynthesis process is looked at from this point of view, it will be realised in what fine detail the processes which take place have been planned, so that the features of light energy from the Sun may meet the energy requirement of the chloroplast to produce the correct chemical reactions.
In order to completely understand this fine balance, let us examine the functions and importance of sunlight in photosynthesis.
Was sunlight arranged specially for photosynthesis? Or are plants flexible enough to make use of any light that comes their way and initiate photosynthesis with it?

Overview of Photosynthesis When sunlight falls on to the leaf, it travels along the layers in the leaf. The chlorophylls in the chloroplast organelles in the leaf cells turn this light energy into chemical energy. The plant which obtains this chemical energy uses it at once as food. Scientists only discovered this information, which we have set out in just a few sentences, in the middle of the 20th century. In order to elucidate the photosynthesis process, pages of chain reactions have been written out. But there are still parts of the chain that are not known. Whereas plants have been carrying out these processes with no mistakes for millions of years, and provide oxygen and food for the world.

Plants are able to carry out photosynthesis thanks to the sensitivity of chlorophylls to light energy. The important point here is that chlorophyll substances use light of a particular wavelength. The sun rays have just the right wavelength needed by the chlorophyll. In other words, there is total harmony between sunlight and chlorophyll.
In his book, The Symbiotic Universe, the American astronomer George Greenstein has this to say about that flawless harmony:
Chlorophyll is the molecule that accomplishes photosyhthesis… The mechanism of photosynthesis is initiated by the absorption of sunlight by a chlorophyll molecule. But in order for this to occur, the light must be of the right color. Light of the wrong color won't do the trick.

A good analogy is that of television set. In order for the set to receive a given channel it must be tuned to that channel; tune it differently and the reception will not occur. It is the same with photosynthesis, the Sun functioning as the transmitter in the analogy and the chlorophyll molecule as the receiving TV set. If the molecule and the Sun are not tuned to each other - tuned in the sense of color - photosynthesis will not occur. As it turns out, the Sun's color is just right. 39

In short, in order for photosynthesis to take place, all of the conditions have to be just right at that moment. It will be useful now to turn to another question that might come to mind. Could there have been any change over time in the order of the processes or the tasks carried out by the molecules?
One of the answers to this question that defenders of the theory of evolution, who claim that the sensitive balances in nature came about as the result of coincidences, is, "If there had been a different environment, plants would have initiated photosynthesis in that environment too, because living things would have adapted to it." But this is completely faulty logic. Because in order for plants to engage in photosynthesis they have to be in harmony at that moment with the light from the sun. George Greenstein, an astronomer who is also an evolutionist, reveals that this logic is faulty in this way:

One might think that a certain adaptation has been at work here: the adaptation of plant life to the properties of sunlight. After all, if the Sun were a different temperature could not some other molecule, tuned to absorb light of a different colour, take the place of chlorophyll? Remarkably enough the answer is no, for within broad limits all molecules absorb light of similar colours. The absorption of light is accomplished by the excitation of electrons in molecules to higher energy states, and the general scale of energy required to do this is the same no matter what molecule you are discussing. Furthermore, light is composed of photons, packets of energy, and photons of the wrong energy simply cannot be absorbed... As things stand in reality, there is a good fit between the physics of stars and that of molecules. Failing this fit, however, life would have been impossible. 40

Photosynthesis Cannot be a Coincidence

Despite all of these obvious truths, let us see that this system could not have come about by chance by asking some questions one more time for those who continue to uphold the validity of the theory of evolution. Who is it who planned this incomparable mechanism, which is set up in a microscopically small area? Can we imagine that plant cells planned such a system, in other words that plants actually thought it up? Of course we cannot. Because it is out of the question for plant cells to plan and think. It is not the plant cell itself which created the flawless system we see when we look inside it. So, in that case, is it a product of a unique human intelligence? No, it is not. It is not human beings who established the most unbelievable factory in the world in a space of just a thousandth of a millimetre. In fact, human beings cannot even see what is going on inside this microscopic factory.
When looked at together with the claims of the evolutionists, it will be seen why the answer to all these questions is "No," and the question of how plants came about will be made more apparent.
The theory of evolution claims that all living things evolved by stages, and that there was a development from the simple to the complex. Let us consider whether this is correct or not by seeing if we can limit the number of parts which exist within the process of photosynthesis. For example, let assume that there are 100 elements necessary for the process of photosynthesis to come about (although in reality there are a great many more). Continuing our assumption, let us imagine that of these 100 elements, one or two came into existence, as the evolutionists claim, by coincidence, and assume that they were self-generated. In that case there would be a waiting period of millions of years for the rest of the elements to come about. Even for those elements which did develop to join together would serve no purpose in the absence of the others. It would be impossible to expect the rest of the elements to form when the system will not function in the absence of even one of its constituent parts. For this reason the claim that such a complicated system as photosynthesis could have come about by the gradual and coincidental development of its constituent parts as they added themselves to one another-as evolutionists propose-is inconsistent with reason and logic, as are similar claims about all systems in living things.
We can see the pointlessness of this claim by having another brief look at some of the stages in photosynthesis. First of all, in order for photosynthesis to take place, all the enzymes and systems have to be present in the plant's cells at the same time. The length of each process and quantity of enzymes have to be arranged absolutely correctly each single time. Because even the smallest hitch in the reactions which take place-the length of the process for instance, or a minute change in the amount of light that enters or of the basic materials-will spoil the product that emerges at the end of the reaction and render it useless. Even if one of the elements we have described is missing, the whole system will be rendered non-functional.
At this point there arises the question of how all these non-functioning elements survived until the complete system was in place. It is also a known truth that as the size of a structure decreases, the intelligence and quality of engineering in its systems increase. When a mechanism reduces in size, it further displays the power of the technology used in it. A comparison between the cameras of our day and those of years ago will make this truth more apparent. This truth increases the importance of the flawless structure in leaves. How is it possible that plants are able to carry out photosynthesis in these microscopic factories, when human beings cannot do so in their huge ones?
Evolutionists are able to offer no credible answers to these and other questions. Instead, they make up various imaginary scenarios. The common tactic resorted to in these scenarios is to swamp the subject in demagoguery and confusing technical terms and explanations. They attempt to conceal the "Truth of Creation," which is clearly to be seen in all living things by using the most complicated terms possible. Instead of answering the questions of why and how, they set out detailed information and technical concepts, and then add that this is a result of evolution at the end.
Nevertheless, most of the time even the most hardened supporters of evolution cannot conceal their amazement in the face of the miraculous systems in plants. We can cite one of Turkey's evolutionist professors, Ali Demirsoy, as an example of this. Professor Demirsoy stresses the miraculous processes in photosynthesis, and makes the following admission in the face of the complexity of the system:

Photosynthesis is a rather complicated event, and it seems impossible that it should happen in a tiny organelle inside a cell. Because it is impossible for all the levels to come about at once, and meaningless for them to emerge separately. 41

The flawless mechanisms at work in the process of photosynthesis have been present in every plant cell that has ever existed. This process takes place even in what we see as the most ordinary piece of grass. In a given plant, the same substances in the same amounts always play their part in the reaction, and the same products are produced. The sequence and speed of the reaction is the same. This applies to all plants which carry out photosynthesis, without exception.
It is illogical, of course, to ascribe capabilities such as thought and decision to plants. But, at the same time, to explain this system, which exists in all green plants and functions to perfection, by saying, "It developed from a series of coincidences," defies all logic.
At this point we are faced with an obvious truth. Photosynthesis, an extraordinarily complex system, was consciously designed, in other words, it was created by God. These mechanisms have existed from the moment plants came into being. The introduction of such flawless systems into such a tiny space demonstrates to us the power of the designer.

The Results of Photosynthesis

The results of photosynthesis, which takes place through chloroplasts are very important for all living things in the world.
Living things are the reason for the continuous increase in carbon-dioxide in the air and the rise in air temperatures. As a result of the respiration of human beings, animals, and micro-organisms in the soil, every year some 92 billion tons of carbon-dioxide enter the atmosphere, and some 37 billion more during plant respiration. Furthermore, the amount of carbon-dioxide given off to the atmosphere from the fuel used by heating systems in factories and homes and in transportation is at least another 18 billion tons. This means that, during the circulation of carbon-dioxide on the land, some 147 billion tons are given off. This shows that the carbon-dioxide levels in the world are constantly rising.
Unless this rise is compensated for, the ecological equilibrium will be disturbed. For example, the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere may go down, temperatures may rise, as a result of which the glaciers might start to melt. Some areas would then be covered with water, and others would turn into deserts. All of this would endanger the survival of life on earth. But none of this happens. Because, with the process of photosynthesis, plants continually produce oxygen and maintain the equilibrium.

The temperature of the earth does not keep changing, because plants help maintain a balance. Plants absorb 129 billion tons of carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere for the purposes of cleaning every year, and this is a most important figure. We said that the amount of carbon-dioxide given off to the atmosphere was 147 billion tons. The 18 billion ton deficiency in the carbon-dioxide/oxygen cycle on the land is made good by a different carbon-dioxide/oxygen cycle in the oceans.42

It is thanks to the process of photosynthesis that plants absorb carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere (to convert into nutrition) and release oxygen, so that the natural equilibrium-of vital importance to life on earth-is never upset.
There is no other natural source which makes good any deficiency of oxygen in the atmosphere. For this reason plants are indispensable to the maintenance of the systems in all living things.
