to solve this problem. The best known
experiment was carried out by the
American chemist Stanley Miller in
1953. Combining the gases he al-
leged to have existed in the primor-
dial Earth's atmosphere in an experi-
ment set-up, and adding energy to
the mixture, Miller synthesized sever-
al organic molecules (amino acids) pre-
sent in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed
Alexander Oparin
before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the ex-
periment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth centu-
ry to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist
Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in
an article published in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the
biggest unsolved problem that we had when we entered the
twentieth century: How did life originate on Earth? 5
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 outstandingly
complex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than
