Evolutionist fol-
lowers of Oparin tried to
carry out experiments to
solve this problem. The
American chemist Stanley Miller
best known experiment
was carried out by the
American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he
alleged to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere in an
experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthe-
sized several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure
of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, which was then presented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the exper-
iment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 19
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medi-
um he used was unrealistic. 20
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to
explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada,
from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article pub-
lished in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest
unsolved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century:
How did life originate on Earth? 21
