136 Is Rumism A Threat?
Evolutionist science writer Brian Switek admitted that the origin of life
remains to be unaccountable by evolutionists as follows:
How life began is one of nature's enduring mysteries. (Brian Switek,
"Debate bubbles over the origin of life", Nature, February 13, 2012)
Harvard chemist George Whitesides made the following confession in his
acceptance speech of the Priestley Medal, the highest award of the American
Chemical Society:
The Origin of Life. This problem is one of the big ones in science... Most
chemists believe, as do I, that life emerged spontaneously from mixtures
of molecules in the prebiotic Earth. How? I have no idea. (George M.
Whitesides, "Revolutions In Chemistry: Priestley Medalist George M. White-
sides' Address", Chemical and Engineering News, 85: 12-17, March 26, 2007)
The DNA molecule, located in the nucleus of a cell and which stores genetic
information, is a magnificent databank. If the information coded in DNA were
transcribed on paper, it would make a giant library consisting of an estimated 900
volumes of 500 pages each.
A very interesting insurmountable predicament emerges at this point for the
evolutionists: DNA can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized pro-
teins (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 must
exist at the same time for replication. This razes the scenario where life originated
by itself to the ground. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the Uni-
versity 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 conclude that life could
never, in fact, have originated by chemical means. (Leslie E. Orgel, "The
Origin of Life on Earth," Scientific American, vol. 271, October 1994, p. 78.)
