Evolutionist followers of
Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve this problem. The
best known experiment was carried
out by the American chemist Stanley
Miller in 1953. Combining the gases
he alleged to have existed in the pri-
mordial Earth's atmosphere in an ex-
periment set-up, and adding energy
to the mixture, Miller synthesized
several organic molecules (amino
Ale xan der Opa rin
acids) present in the structure of pro-
teins.
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. 22
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 23
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:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest
unsolved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth cen-
tury: How did life originate on Earth? 24
The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those
living organisms deemed to be the simplest have outstandingly
complex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than
all of our man-made technological products. Today, even in the
most developed laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be
