For a long time, advocates of the theory of evolution resisted
these findings. However, as the development of science unraveled the
complex structure of the cell of a living being, the idea that life could
come into being coincidentally faced an even greater impasse.
Inconclusive Efforts of the Twentieth Century
The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of life
in the twentieth century was the renowned Russian biologist
Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930s, he
tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence. 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 perhaps
the most obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of organ-
isms. 53
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments to
solve this problem. The best known experiment was carried out by the
American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he al-
leged to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere in an exper-
iment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized
several organic molecules (amino acids)
present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed be-
fore it was revealed that this experiment,
which was then presented as an impor-
tant step in the name of evolution, was
invalid, for the atmosphere used in the
experiment was very different from the
real Earth conditions. 54
