approached science with proper insight, realized
the fact of "biogenesis".
Evolutionist scientists, however, went on
resisting this evident reality. Their blind
devotion to the materialist philosophy drew
them into a futile struggle that would last a
century. Two materialist scientists,
Alexander Oparin and J. B. Haldane,
introduced the notion of "chemical
evolution". According to Oparin and
Haldane, abiogenesis did not take
place in a short time, but happened
over a long period. In conflict with
certain scientific laws, foremost among
Louis Pasteur
them, the Second Law of Thermodynamics,
this claim led the science-world into a stalemate, contributing to a
detrimental amount of lost of time.
Over the course of the century, a number of scientists conducted
experiments in favor of the chemical evolution hypothesis, or exerted
great pains to support the claim with new theories. Huge laboratories,
major institutions, and university divisions were set into action. All these
efforts, however, ended in failure. Well-known evolutionist Prof. Klaus
Dose, the Director of the Institute of Biochemistry, at Johannes-Gutenberg
University, confessed that all attempts to produce evidence for the claim
that non-living materials produce living matter were inconclusive:
More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields
of chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of
the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than
to its solution. At present all discussions on principal theories and
experiments in the field either end in stalemate or in a confession of
ignorance. 19
If the science-world had not become obsessed with the idea of
"abiogenesis", a materialist fallacy, all such efforts, conducted in the name
of "chemical evolution", could have been channeled to more productive
areas. Had the scientific community started out by recognizing that life
