This statement, by a pioneer of the struggle to find an evolutionary
explanation for the origin of life, clearly reflects the despair felt by
evolutionist scientists over the cul-de-sac they find themselves in.

Order Cannot Be Explained by Coincidence
So far, we have examined how impossible the accidental formation of
life is. Let us again ignore these impossibilities for just a moment. Let us
suppose that millions of years ago a cell was formed which had acquired
everything necessary for life, and that it duly "came to life." Evolution
again collapses at this point. For even if this cell had existed for a while, it
would eventually have died and after its death, nothing would have
remained, and everything would have reverted to where it had started.
This is because this first living cell, lacking any genetic information, would
not have been able to reproduce and start a new generation. Life would
have ended with its death.
The genetic system does not only consist of DNA. The following
things must also exist in the same environment: enzymes to read the code
on the DNA, messenger RNA to be produced after reading these codes, a
ribosome to which messenger RNA will attach according to this code,
transfer RNA to transfer the amino acids to the ribosome for use in
production, and extremely complex enzymes to carry out numerous
intermediary processes. Such an environment cannot exist anywhere apart
from a totally isolated and completely controlled environment such as the
cell, where all the essential raw materials and energy resources exist.
As a result, organic matter can self-reproduce only if it exists as a
fully developed cell, with all its organelles. This means that the first cell on
earth was formed "all of a sudden," together with its extraordinarily
complex structure.
So, if a complex structure came into existence all of a sudden, what
does this mean?
Let us ask this question with an example. Let us liken the cell to a
high-tech car in terms of its complexity. (In fact, the cell is a much more
complex and developed system than a car.) Now let us ask the following
question: What would you think if you went out hiking in the depths of a
thick forest and ran across a brand-new car among the trees? Would you
