cell is perhaps 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
energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized several organic mol-
ecules (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 condi-
tions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century
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 century: How did life originate on Earth? 5

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 incredi-
bly complex structures. The cell of a living thing is more com-
plex than all of our man-made technological products. Today,
even in the most developed laboratories of the world, a living
