The Deception of Evolution

tally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In

mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered to be
impossible in practical terms.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and
which stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. If the in-
formation coded in DNA were written down, it would make a giant
library consisting of an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias con-

sisting of 500 pages each.
Avery interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNAcan repli-
cate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes).
However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized only by the
information coded in DNA. As they both depend on each other, they
have to exist at the same time for replication. This brings the scenario
that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evo-
lutionist of repute from the University of San Diego, California, con-

fesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American
magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same
place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one
without the other. And so, at first glance, one might have to con-
clude that life could never, in fact, have originated by chemical
means. 26

No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from nat-
ural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created" in a su-
pernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of
evolution, whose main purpose is to deny creation.
