A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins
(enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized
only by the information coded in DNA. As they both depend on each
other, they have to exist at the same time for replication. This brings
the scenario that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie
Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the University of San Diego,
California, confesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of the
Scientific American magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same place
at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one without the
other. And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that life could
never, in fact, have originated by chemical means. 22
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from nat-
One of the facts nullifying the theory of evolution is the
incredibly complex structure of life. The DNA molecule
located in the nucleus of cells of living beings is an example
of this. The DNA is a sort of databank formed of the
arrangement of four different molecules in different
sequences. This databank contains the codes of all the
physical traits of that living being. When the
human DNA is put into writing, it is cal-
culated that this would result in an
encyclopaedia made up of 900 vol-
umes. Unquestionably, such extra-
ordinary information definitively
refutes the concept of coinci-
dence.
