nate the evolutionist claim of chance right from the outset. To sum-
marize,
1. Protein cannot be synthesized without enzymes, and en-
zymes are all proteins.
2. Around 100 proteins need to be present in order for a single
protein to be synthesized. There therefore need to be proteins for
proteins to exist.
3. DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing enzymes.
Protein cannot be synthesized without DNA. DNA is therefore also
needed in order for proteins to form.
4. All the organelles in the cell have important tasks in protein
synthesis. In other words, in order for proteins to form a perfect and
fully functioning cell needs to exist together with all its organelles.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and which
stores genetic information, is a magnificent databank. If the information cod-
ed in DNA were written down, it would make a giant library consisting of
an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can replicate it-
self only with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes). However,
the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized only by the information cod-
ed 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 it-
self to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the
University of San Diego, California, confesses 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. 111
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated spontaneously as
a result of blind coincidences, then it has to be accepted that life was cre-
