Molecules: Holy and Unholy

There's been a bit of a stir caused by the rhapsodic exclamations of delight of Louie Giglio who says that he knows how "God will always hold you together, no matter what. It's by looking a little deeper into the human body. And it's a little protein molecule, called laminin." Louie met a molecular biologist who told him about this cell adhesion molecule, the "glue of the human body." Why is laminin so special? Well, below is a glowy, diagram of the molecule.

Hallaluyah! Or, as Louie put it, "WOW! That's laminin....Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! What in the world...?" "It's in the perfect shape of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." He goes on to quote the bible, "by Him, talking about Jesus Christ, all things have been created by Jesus, and for Jesus...and in Him, all things hold together." Ah yes, the  laminin cell adhesion molecule, through Jesus, is holding us together. 
   I have some Good News for Louie--since "all things" have been created by Jesus, He apparently also has created a molecule shaped like the six pointed Star of David. Check it out!

I guess this sort of makes sense, Jesus being Jewish. But, the bad new is that this molecular structure was made in a laboratory, and seems to be similar to the shells of viruses. I'm not sure we want to blame Jesus for viruses. 
Uh-oh, here is another molecule, a potassium channel, which looks suspiciously similar to a Swastika. Win some, lose some, I guess.

But wait, there is hope! Below is a sideways model of a potassium channel. 

It looks, to me, like an Angel, reaching for the Heavens! Well, I suppose there a couple of things that Louie Giglio and I can agree on. Yep, as he says, "How crazy is that?" and "I love laminin" too.

Here are a couple of electron micrographs of Laminin.
