ly by the information coded in DNA. As they both de-
pend 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 mag-
azine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucle-
ic 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. 6
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have
originated from natural causes, then it has to be
accepted that life was "created" in a supernatural
way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of
evolution, whose main purpose is to deny creation.
One of the facts nullifying the theory of evolution is
the incredibly complex structure of life. The DNA mol-
ecule located in the nucleus of cells of living beings
is an example of this. The DNA is a sort of data-
bank formed of the arrangement of four different
molecules in different sequences. This data-
bank contains the codes of all the physical
traits of that living being. When the human
DNA is put into writing, it is calculated
that this would result in an encyclope-
dia made up of 900 volumes.
Unquestionably, such extraordina-
ry information definitively refutes
the concept of coincidence.
