                       1.  Protein cannot be synthesized without
                   enzymes, and enzymes are all proteins.
                       2.  Around 100 proteins need to be present in order
                   for a single protein to be synthesized. There therefore
                   need to be proteins for proteins to exist.
                       3.  DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing
                   enzymes. Protein cannot be synthesized without DNA.
                   DNA is therefore also needed in order for proteins to
                   form.
                       4.  All the organelles in the cell have important
                   tasks in protein synthesis. In other words, in order for
                   proteins to 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 magnifi-
                   cent databank. If the information coded in DNA were
                   written down, it would make a giant library consisting of
                   an estimated 900 volumes 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 sce-
                   nario 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:
