Photosynthesis is Complex

Photosynthesis is a process by which most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. In plants, light, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into sugar (carbohydrates) and oxygen. The oxygen is released into the atmosphere while the sugars are used by the plant for growth. While mainstream scientists believe that photosynthesis evolved several billion years ago, creationists maintain that photosynthesis is a complex process that could only be the product of design and creation a few thousand years ago. Animals needed the oxygen from plants and therefore must have appeared on earth after plants, which is consistent with the creation week order.

6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + 6H20 (water)+ light= C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen)

Plant photosynthesis occurs within leaves and stems inside cell structures called chloroplasts, where each cell contains up to 50 chloroplasts. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages, the first of which is light-dependent reactions and then light-independent reactions. In the first step, energy from light is stored in the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). These two energy-storing cofactors are then used in the second step of photosynthesis to produce organic molecules by combining carbon molecules derived from carbon dioxide (CO2). The second step of photosynthesis is known as the Calvin Cycle. These organic molecules can then be used by mitochondria to produce ATP, or they can be combined to form glucose, sucrose, and other carbohydrates that the plant uses as a food source.

Therefore, photosynthesis is a complex process that could only be the product of an intelligent design and creation. The photosynthesis process involves multiple parts of the plant cell that work together and could only work if all parts were present at the same time, a testament to design and creation.
