All information about living be-
ings is stored in the DNA mole-
cule. This incredibly efficient
information storage method
alone is a clear evidence that
life did not come into being by
chance, but has been purpose-
ly designed, or, better to say,
marvellously created.
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? 34
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 organ-
isms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex structures. The
cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-made technolog-
ical products. Today, even in the most developed laboratories of the world,
a living cell cannot be produced by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of pro-
teins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally, is 1
in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In mathe-
matics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered to be impossi-
