Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the
1930s, he tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coin-
cidence. These studies, however, were doomed to failure, and
Oparin had to make the following confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is per-
haps the most obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of
organisms. 2

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 primor-
dial Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding en-
ergy 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 experiment was very different from the real Earth
conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth cen-
tury to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geo-
chemist 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? 5
