medium he used was unrealistic. 190
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century
to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey
Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an ar-
ticle published in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest un-
solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century:
How did life originate on Earth? 191

The Complex Structure of Life

The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those
living organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly com-
plex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of
our man-made technological products. Today, even in the most de-
veloped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced
by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of
proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coinciden-
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.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (en-
