The first evolutionist who took up
the subject of the origin of life in the
twentieth century was the renowned
Russian biologist Alexander Oparin.
With various theses he advanced in the
1930s, he tried to prove that a living cell
could originate by coincidence. These
studies, however, were doomed to failure, Ale xan der Opa rin
and Oparin had to make the following confes-
sion:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is per-
haps the most obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of
organisms. 15
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve this problem. The best known experiment was car-
ried out by the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combin-
ing the gases he alleged to have existed in the primordial Earth's at-
mosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mix-
ture, Miller synthesized several organic molecules (amino acids)
present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, which was then presented as an important step in
the name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in
the experiment was very different from the real Earth condi-
tions. 16
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 17
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth cen-
tury to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist
