The Evolution Deception 121

medium he used was unrealistic. 7
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth
century 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? 8

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 incredi-
bly complex structures. The cell of a living thing is more com-
plex 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 syn-
thesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made
up of 500 amino acids. In mathematics, a probability smaller
50
than 1 over 10 is considered to be impossible in practical
terms.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a
cell and which stores genetic information, is an incredible data-
bank. If the information coded in DNA were written down, it
