                 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.)
