76 THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENCE IN THE QUR'AN

Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, which was then presented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the
experiment was very different from the real Earth
conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium

he used was unrealistic. 4
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 century: How did life
originate on Earth? 5

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
organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex
structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most developed
laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot 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. The probability of

proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally,
is 1 in 10950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In
mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 1050 is considered to be
impossible in practical terms.
