replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins
(enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be rea-
lized only by the information coded in DNA. As they both de-
pend on each other, they have to exist at the same time for rep-
lication. 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, confesses this fact in the
September 1994 issue of the Scientific American magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both

One of the facts nullifying
the theory of evolution is the
outstandingly complex
structure of life. The DNA
molecule located in the nu-
cleus of cells of living be-
ings is an example of this.
The DNA is a sort of data-
bank formed of the arrange-
ment of four different mole-
cules in different sequences.
This databank contains the
codes of all the physical
traits of that living being.
When the human DNA is put
into writing, it is calculated
that this would result in an
encyclopedia made up of
900 volumes.
Unquestionably, such extra-
ordinary information defini-
tively refutes the concept of
coincidence.
