a. There must be peptide bonds between amino acids
b. All amino acids must be left-handed
c. Only 20 amino acids must be used
d. Amino acids have to be in a specific sequence
e. The protein that forms has to have a specific 3-D shape.
Let us for a minute put aside all the impossibilities we have described
so far, and suppose that a useful protein molecule still evolved
spontaneously "by accident." Even so, the theory of evolution again has no
answers, because in order for this protein to survive, it would need to be
isolated from its natural habitat and be protected under very special
conditions. Otherwise, it would either disintegrate from exposure to
natural conditions on earth, or else join with other acids, amino acids, or
chemical compounds, thereby losing its particular properties and turning
into a totally different and useless substance.
What we have been discussing so far is the impossibility of just one
protein's coming about by chance. However, in the human body alone
there are some 100,000 proteins functioning. Furthermore, there are about
1.5 million species named, and another 10 million are believed to exist.
Although many similar proteins are used in many life forms, it is
estimated that there must be 100 million or more types of protein in the
plant and animal worlds. And the millions of species which have already
become extinct are not included in this calculation. In other words,
hundreds of millions of protein codes have existed in the world. If one
considers that not even one protein can be explained by chance, it is clear
what the existence of hundreds of millions of different proteins must
mean.
Bearing this truth in mind, it can clearly be understood that
"coincidences" cannot account for the origin of living things.

The Evolutionary Argument about the Origin of Life
Above all, there is one important point to take into consideration: If
any one step in the evolutionary process is proven to be impossible, this is
sufficient to prove that the whole theory is totally false and invalid. For
instance, by proving that the haphazard formation of proteins is
impossible, all other claims regarding the subsequent steps of evolution
are also refuted. After this, it becomes meaningless to take some human
