Misconception of Evolution        223




                lecture at the Sorbonne in 1864,  Pasteur said, "Never will the doctrine of
                spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple
                experiment." 148
                      Advocates of the theory of evolution resisted the findings of Pasteur for
                a long time. However, as the development of science unraveled the complex
                structure of the cell of a living being, the idea that life could come into being
                coincidentally faced an even greater impasse.



                      Inconclusive Efforts in the 20th Century

                      The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of life in the
                20th century was the renowned Russian biologist Alexander Oparin. With
                various theses he advanced in the 1930's, he tried to prove that the cell of a living

                being could originate by coincidence. These studies, however, were doomed to
                failure, and Oparin had to make the following 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. 149
                      Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments to solve
                the problem of the origin of life. The best known of these experiments was
                carried out by American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he

                alleged to have existed in the primordial earth's atmosphere in an experiment
                set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized several organic
                molecules (amino acids) present in the structure of proteins.
                      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, the atmosphere used in the experiment having been very different from
                real earth conditions. 150
                      After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium he
                used was unrealistic. 151

                      All the evolutionist efforts put forth throughout the 20th century to
                explain the origin of life ended with failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada from
                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? 152
