ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN






                                                           One of the facts nullifying
                                                          the theory of evolution is
                                                         the incredibly complex struc-
                                                       ture of life. The DNA molecule
                                                     located in the nucleus of cells of
                                                   living beings is an example of this.
                                                The DNA is a sort of databank formed of
                                            the arrangement of four different molecules
                                     in different sequences. This databank contains the
                                     codes of all the physical traits of that living being.
                                     When the human DNA is put into writing, it is calculat-
                                     ed that this would result in an encyclopedia made up
                                     of 900 volumes. Unquestionably, such extraordinary in-
                                     formation definitively refutes the concept of coinci-


                           frey 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 centu-

                    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 incredibly com-
                 plex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of
                 our man-made technological products. Today, even in the most de-
                 veloped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced
                 by bringing organic chemicals together.
                    The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
                 in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability
                 of proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coin-
                 cidentally, is 1 in 10 for an average protein made up of 500 amino
                                    950
                 acids. In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is con-
                                                                        50
                 sidered to be impossible in practical terms.
