DARWINISM REFUTED
another called the peptide bond. A water molecule is released during the
formation of this peptide bond.
This fact definitely refutes the evolutionist explanation that
primordial life originated in water, because, according to the "Le Châtelier
principle" in chemistry, it is not possible for a reaction that releases water
(a condensation reaction) to take place in a hydrous environment. The
probability of this kind of a reaction happening in a hydrate environment
is said to "have the least probability of occurring" of all chemical reactions.
Hence the ocean, which is claimed to be where life began and amino
acids originated, is definitely not an appropriate setting for amino acids to
form proteins. 256 On the other hand, it would be irrational for evolutionists
to change their minds and claim that life originated on land, because the
only environment where amino acids could have been protected from
ultraviolet radiation is in the oceans and seas. On land, they would be
destroyed by ultraviolet rays. The Le Châtelier principle, on the other
hand, disproves the claim of the formation of life in the sea. This is another
dilemma confronting evolution.
Fox's Experiment
Challenged by the abovementioned
dilemma, evolutionists began to invent
unrealistic scenarios based on this
"water problem" that so definitively
refuted their theories. Sydney Fox was
one of the best known of these
researchers. Fox advanced the following
theory to solve the problem. According
to him, the first amino acids must have
been transported to some cliffs near a
volcano right after their formation in the
primordial ocean. The water contained
in this mixture that included the amino
acids must have evaporated when the
