which was then presented as an important step in the name of evolution,
was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment was very differ-
ent from the real Earth conditions. 156
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium

he used was unrealistic. 157
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to ex-
plain 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 un-
solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century:
How did life originate on Earth? 158

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 organ-
isms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex structures. The
cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-made technolog-
ical products. Today, even in the most developed laboratories of the
world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing organic chemicals to-
gether.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of pro-
teins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally, is 1 in
10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In mathematics,
a probability smaller than 1 over 10 50 is considered to be impossible in
practical terms.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and
which stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. If the infor-
