                    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
