form a perfect and fully functioning cell needs to exist
together with all its organelles.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell
and which stores genetic information, is a magnificent data-
bank. If the information coded in DNA were written down, it
would make a giant library consisting of an estimated 900 vol-
umes of encyclopedias consisting of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins
(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 have to exist at the same time for
replication. This brings the scenario that life originated by
itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of
repute from the University of San Diego, California, confess-
es 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. 6
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
spontaneously as a result of blind coincidences, then it has to
be accepted that life was "created." This fact explicitly inval-
idates the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny
Creation.
