There appears to be a great deal of excitement in the evangelical community about a protein, even though many don't really understand what a protein is. The protein in question is laminin, one of the major proteins in the basal lamina. Laminin has a cross-like structure with three short arms and one longer arm. The three short arms link with those of other laminin molecules to form sheets of the protein. The long arms bind the molecular sheets to cell membranes. The effect is to be like a mesh holding everything together. Read more about laminins here.
The shapes of proteins and their exposed surfaces determine their function. Proteins are not rigid structures, but are flexible and constantly moving; think of the arms on an octopus.

A non-believer’s very hostile response
A Christian scientist’s comments
Our belief in the Gospel cannot be based on extra-biblical "evidences" like the Shroud of Turin, pieces of the True Cross of Christ, Christian relics of saints, water stains on a wall, the shape of a vine on a pole, the "face" of Jesus in a design on a billboard or on a piece of toast. Even the strong evidences are just evidences, they prove nothing. Listen to Dr Georgia Purdom from AnswersinGenesis.org, “Only if we start with the Bible as our ultimate standard can we have a worldview that is rational and makes sense of the evidence…”
