Zeal and Enthusiasm Described in the Qur’an
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
published 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 cen-
tury: How did life originate on Earth? 143

The Complex Structure of Life

The primary reason why evolutionists ended up in such a great im-
passe regarding the origin of life is that even those living organisms
Darwinists deemed to be the simplest have outstandingly complex
features. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-
made technological products. Today, even in the most developed lab-
oratories of the world, no single protein of the cell, let alone a living
cell itself, can be produced by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. However, there is no
need to explain the situation with these details. Evolutionists are at a
dead-end even before reaching the stage of the cell. That is because
the probability of just a single protein, an essential building block of
the cell, coming into being by chance is mathematically "0."
The main reason for this is the need for other proteins to be pres-
ent if one protein is to form, and this completely eradicates the possi-
bility of chance formation. This fact by itself is sufficient to eliminate
the evolutionist claim of chance right from the outset. To summarize,
1. Protein cannot be synthesized without enzymes, and en-
zymes are all proteins.
2. Around 100 proteins need to be present in order for a single
protein to be synthesized. There therefore need to be proteins for pro-
teins to exist.
3. DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing enzymes. Protein
cannot be synthesized without DNA. DNA is therefore also needed in
order for proteins to form.
