                    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-
