dial Earth's atmosphere in an experi-
ment 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
before it was revealed that this ex-

periment, which was then presented
as an important step in the name of
Alexander Oparin
evolution, was invalid, for the atmos-
phere used in the experiment was very
different from the real Earth conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth cen-
tury to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geo-
chemist Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute ac-
cepts 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-
