THE COURAGE OF THE FA I T H F U L

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 stru c-
ture of proteins.
B a rely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name

of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was very diff e rent from the real Earth conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unre a l i s t i c . 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to
explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeff rey Bada,
f rom the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article pub-

lished in E a r t hmagazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved
p roblem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life
originate on Earth?

The Complex Structure of Life

The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such
a great impasse re g a rding the origin of life is that even those living or-
ganisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex stru c-
t u res. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. To d a y, even in the most developed
laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing

o rganic chemicals together.
The conditions re q u i red for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of pro-
