confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the
cell is perhaps the most obscure point in the whole study
of the evolution of organisms. 2

Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve this problem. The best known experiment was
carried out by the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953.
Combining the gases he alleged to have existed in the pri-
mordial Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and
adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized several or-
ganic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure of pro-
teins.
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 atmos-
phere 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 cen-
tury to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geo-
chemist 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
