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
