The Deception of Evolution

obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of organisms.
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments to
solve this problem. The best known experiment was carried out by the
American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he al-
leged to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere in an ex-
periment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized
several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure of pro-
teins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
144
was verydifferent from the real Earth conditions.
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium
he used was unrealistic. 145
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to ex-
plain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada,
from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article pub-
lished in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest un-
solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth cen-
tury: How did life originate on Earth? 146
THE COMPLEX STRUCTURE OF LIFE
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such a
great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those living or-
ganisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex structures.
The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-made
technological products. Today, even in the most developed laboratories
of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing organic
chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
