In addition to all these improbabilities, DNA can barely be involved
in a reaction because of its double-chained spiral shape. This also makes
it impossible to think that it can be the basis of life.
Moreover, while DNA can replicate only with the help of some en-
zymes that are actually proteins, the synthesis of these enzymes can be
realised only by the information coded in DNA. As they both depend on
each other, either they have to exist at the same time for replication, or
one of them has had to be "created" before the other. American micro-
biologist Jacobson comments on the subject:
The complete directions for the reproduction of plans, for energy and
the extraction of parts from the current environment, for the growth se-
quence, and for the effector mechanism translating instructions into
growth – all had to be simultaneously present at that moment (when life
began). This combination of events has seemed an incredibly unlikely
happenstance, and has often been ascribed to divine intervention. 106
The quotation above was written two years after the disclosure of the
structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick. Despite all the de-
velopments in science, this problem remains unsolved for evolutionists.
To sum up, the need for DNA in reproduction, the necessity of the pres-
ence of some proteins for reproduction, and the requirement to produce
these proteins according to the information in the DNA entirely demol-
ish evolutionist theses.
Two German scientists, Junker and Scherer, explained that the syn-
thesis of each of the molecules required for chemical evolution, neces-
sitates distinct conditions, and that the probability of the compounding
of these materials having theoretically very different acquirement meth-
ods is zero:

Until now, no experiment is known in which we can obtain all the mol-
ecules necessary for chemical evolution. Therefore, it is essential to pro-
duce various molecules in different places under very suitable conditions
and then to carry them to another place for reaction by protecting them
from harmful elements like hydrolysis and photolysis. 107
In short, the theory of evolution is unable to prove any of the evo-
lutionary stages that allegedly occur at the molecular level.
To summarise what we have said so far, neither amino acids nor their
