Barely a few years had passed
before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then pre-
sented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for
the atmosphere used in the experi-
ment was very different from the
real Earth conditions. 70
After a long silence, Miller con-
fessed that the atmosphere medium
he used was unrealistic. 71
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
As accepted also by the latest evo-
Institute accepts this fact in an article lutionist theorists, the origin of
life is still a great stumbling block
published in Earth magazine in 1998: for the theory of evolution.
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? 72

The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such a
great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those living organ-
isms deemed to be the simplest have outstandingly complex structures.
The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-made tech-
nological products. Today, even in the most developed laboratories of
the world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing organic chemi-
cals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of pro-
teins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally, is
1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In mathe-
50
matics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered to be impos-
sible in practical terms.
