was the basis of evolution. As a result of his long research and studies Pas-
teur summed up the results he had arrived at by saying, "The claim that
inanimate matter can originate life is buried in history for good." 137
The defenders of the theory of evolution resisted Pasteur's findings
for a long time. Yet as science developed and revealed the complicated
structure of the living cell, the invalidity of the claim that life could come
about by itself became even more obvious.
The Unproductive Struggles of the 20 th Century
In the 20 century the first evolutionist to take in hand the subject of
th
the origin of life was the well-known Russian biologist Alexander Oparin.
In a number of theses he put forward in the 1930s, Oparin attempted to
prove that the living cell could come about by coincidence. But these ef-
forts were to end in failure, and Oparin would have to make this confessi-
on, "Unfortunately, the origin of the cell remains a question which is ac-
tually the darkest point of the entire evolution theory." 138
Evolutionists who followed Oparin's path tried to carry out experi-
ments that would lead to a solution to the origin of life. The best-known of
these experiments was carried out in 1953 by the famous American che-
mist Stanley Miller. Miller brought together the gasses, which he claimed
were in the earth's primitive atmosphere in experimental conditions, ad-
ded energy to the mixture, and synthesised a few organic molecules (ami-
no-acids) used in the production of proteins.
The invalidity of that experiment, which in those years was regarded

as an important step in the name of evolution, and that the atmosphere
used in the experiment was very different from the conditions of the real
world, emerged in the years that followed. 139
After a long silence, Miller himself admitted that the atmospheric en-
vironment employed was not realistic. 140
All the evolutionary efforts throughout the 20 century to explain the
th
question of the origin of life ended in failure. The well-known geochemist
Jeffrey Bada, from the Scripps Institute in San Diego, accepts this truth in
