THE MIRACLE IN THE MOSQUITO

One of the facts nullifying the theory of evolution is the incredibly complex
structure of life. The DNA molecule located in the nucleus of cells of living be-
ings 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 hu-
man DNA is put into writing, it is calculated that this would result in an ency-
clopaedia made up of 900 volumes. Unquestionably, such extraordinary infor-
mation definitively refutes the concept of coincidence.

The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell
and which stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. If
the information coded in DNA were written down, it would make
a giant library consisting of an estimated 900 volumes of encyclo-

pedias consisting of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can
replicate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (en-
zymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized
only by the information coded in DNA. As they both depend on
each other, they have to exist at the same time for replication. This
brings the scenario that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof.
Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the University of San

Diego, California, confesses this fact in the September 1994 issue
of the Scientific American magazine:
