MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE

I n previous sections of this book, we have shown how the fossil

record invalidates the theory of evolution. In point of fact, there was
no need for us to relate any of that, because the theory of evolution
collapses long before one gets to any claims about the evidence of
fossils. The subject that renders the theory meaningless from the
very outset is the question of how life first appeared on earth.
When it addresses this question, evolutionary theory claims that life
started with a cell that formed by chance. According to this scenario, four
billion years ago various chemical compounds underwent a reaction in the
primordial atmosphere on the earth in which the effects of thunderbolts
and atmospheric pressure led to the formation of the first living cell.
The first thing that must be said is that the claim that nonliving
materials can come together to form life is an unscientific one that has
not been verified by any experiment or observation. Life is only
generated from life. Each living cell is formed by the replication of
another cell. No one in the world has ever succeeded in forming a living
cell by bringing inanimate materials together, not even in the most
advanced laboratories.
The theory of evolution claims that a living cell—which cannot be
produced even when all the power of the human intellect, knowledge and
technology are brought to bear—nevertheless managed to form by chance
under primordial conditions on the earth. In the following pages, we will
examine why this claim is contrary to the most basic principles of science
and reason.
