FAITH: THE WAY TO HAPPINESS

p h e re in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture ,
Miller synthesized several organic molecules (amino acids) present
in the structure of proteins.
B a rely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, 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 century
to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey
Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an ar-
ticle published in Earthmagazine 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?

The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse re g a rding the origin of life is that even those
living organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly com-
plex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of
our man-made technological products. Today, even in the most de-
veloped 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
proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coinciden-
tally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids.
In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered
