Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved prob-
lem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life originate
on Earth? (Jeffrey Bada, Earth, February 1998, p. 40)

THE COMPLEX STRUCTURE OF LIFE: NOT EVEN
A SINGLE PROTEIN CAN COME INTO
EXISTENCE BY CHANCE

The primary reason why evolutionists ended up at such a great
impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those living organ-
isms Darwinists deemed to be the simplest have outstandingly com-
plex features. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most devel-
oped laboratories of the world, not even a single protein of a cell, let
alone a living cell itself, can be produced by bringing non-living
materials together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
in quantity to be explained away by mere coincidence. However, there
is no need to explain the situation with too many details. Evolution-
ists are at a dead-end even before reaching the stage of the cell. That
is because the probability of just a single protein, an essential build-
ing block of the cell, coming into being by chance is mathematically
“0”.
The main reason for this is the need for other proteins to be pres-
ent if one protein is to form, and this completely eradicates the possi-
bility of chance formation. This fact by itself is sufficient to eliminate
the evolutionist claim of chance right from the outset. To summarize,
1. Proteins cannot be synthesized without enzymes, and en-
zymes are all proteins.
2. Around 60 proteins assuming the task of an enzyme need to
