gin of life in the twentieth century
was the renowned Russian biolo-
gist Alexander Oparin. With var-
ious theses he advanced in the
1930s, he tried to prove that a
living cell could originate by
coincidence. These studies,
however, were doomed to fail-
ure, and Oparin had to make
the following confession:

Unfortunately, however, the
problem of the origin of the cell
is perhaps the most obscure point
Russian biologist Alexander
in the whole study of the evolution of Oparin
organisms. 150
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.
Combining the gases he alleged to have existed in the primordial
Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to
the mixture, 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 ex-
periment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 151
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 152
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth centu-
ry to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist
Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact
in an article published in Earth magazine in 1998:
