periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was very different from the real Earth conditions. 133
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medi-

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 arti-
cle 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? 135

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 liv-
ing organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex
structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most devel-
oped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by
bringing organic chemicals together.
THE MICROWORLD MIRACLE proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidental-
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of

mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered to be
impossible in practical terms.
