would make a giant library consisting of an estimated 900 vol-

A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (en-
zymes). 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 scenario 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:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same
One of evolutionists’ greatest errors is to imagine that life could emerge sponta-
neously in the environment shown in the illustration above and described as the
primeval Earth. Many sought to prove these claims by such means as the Miller
experiment. But they have still been defeated in the face of scientific discoveries.
Results obtained in the 1970s proved that the primeval atmosphere was in no way
suited to the emergence of life.
