                 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.
