would make a giant library consisting of an estimated 900 vol-

A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA
can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized pro-
teins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can
be realized only by the information coded in DNA. As they
both depend on each other, they have to exist at the same time
for replication. This brings the scenario that life originated by
itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute
from the University of San Diego, California, confesses this fact
in the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American maga-
zine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic
acids, both of which are structurally complex, arose
spontaneously in the same place at the same time. Yet
it also seems impossible to have one without the other.
And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that
life could never, in fact, have originated by chemical
means. 9
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from
natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "creat-
ed" in a supernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the the-
ory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny creation.

Imaginary Mechanisms of Evolution
The second important point that negates Darwin's theory
is that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolution-
ary mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evo-
lutionary power.
