*Editors note: Underlying the
young-earth creation model is the presuppositional belief that the Creator fashioned many
different kinds of animals separately from each other and that life was first created on
day 3 (plants) as well as on day 5 (animals) and day 6 (more animals and people.) In such
a scenario we may assume that ATP, and the cell systems governing the synthesis and usage
of ATP, were formed as independent components in each of the many different life kinds. In
this creation view, the presence of ATP and ATP related cell equipment in nearly all life
forms indicates a common designer, not common ancestry. The ATP data have an excellent fit
with the creation model.
