Big Surprises Inside Our Tiny Cells

Although the microscope was invented in the late 1500s, it was not until the invention of the electron microscope in the 1930s that scientists could finally look within the cell. To Charles Darwin, the cell appeared to be a tiny, simple blob of gelatin. Today however, the cell is called “the inner universe” by some microbiologists due to its incredible complexity (Physics-Astronomy.com, April 9, 2023). Some of the most important and complex structures within the cell are the mitochondria—long thought to serve only as the cell’s “energy factories.” Recent discoveries have shown this view to be extremely limited, and scientists now realize that mitochondria are involved in “regulating cellular metabolism, cancer, the immune system, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, mitochondrial quality control, wound healing and adipose tissue function” (Nature, November 8, 2023). More recently, they have discovered that these remarkable structures are not confined to one cell but instead travel between different cells in a few different ways (Nature, April 8, 2025). But what has not been discovered is why they do this. Scientists surmise that they may be assisting other damaged cells or tissues, but, as of the year 2025, “We don’t have the technology yet to witness this happening.”

When evolutionists claim that the rich variety of life on Earth in all its complexity could have mindlessly evolved, they are continuing stale speculations originally based on Darwin’s simplistic and outdated understanding of life. As we come to understand the vast complexity present in even the “simplest” of microscopic cells and the incredibly diverse capabilities of their subcellular machinery, such fantasies are revealed as impossible. How could something formed by chance and blind, mindless forces, as Darwinian evolutionists posit, craft such well-planned and complex microscopic apparatuses that even our most advanced technology still cannot reveal its secrets?
