I 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, the origin of the cell remains a question which
is actually the darkest point of the entire evolution theory. 3
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. 4
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 5
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? 6
