structure. They attempt to give the impression that the only difficulty
regarding the emergence of the first cell is the conditions on the Earth.
As a result, they claim that if those conditions on Earth were unsuit-
able, the first cell must have formed on Mars. The fact is, however,
that the point which really makes it impossible for the first cell to

have come into existence by itself, under random conditions, is the
complex structure and superior organization possessed by the cell.
The cell comprises a great many different organelles, each with
its own very complex structure. For instance, the cell membrane
permits certain compounds to enter the cell and keeps others out. It

Evolutionists are unable to explain how the first cell could have formed in the
conditions of the primitive Earth. One of the places evolutionists seek refuge
is Mars. However, what is impossible on Earth is also impossible on Mars.
