P. 56
Scientist 1: Why not give it a try? We might
succeed.
Scientist 2: Let’s see what happens.
Scientist 3: No! You can wait a million
years, but nothing will happen. To create life,
it isn’t enough to assemble all the elements
in living things. Only God creates and gives
life.
After their conversation, the three scientists
make a decision.
Scientist 3: Alright, we have many more
resources than Darwin had; let’s use them
all and do an experiment. You will see the
results, and maybe then you will accept
the truth.
Scientist 1: OK.
Scientist 2: Let’s get started.
And they try the experiment again . . .
Scientist 1: There, I’ve made a mix-
ture of gasses that I think were in
the Earth’s primal atmosphere.
Scientist 2: I’ve made an artificial
source of electrical discharge.
