THE QUESTION THAT DEMOLISHES
THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION:
HOW DID THE DNA ORIGINATE?
he question of how such an extraordinarily designed molecule as DNA
originated is one of the thousands of impasses evolutionists reach.
T Seeking to explain life by means of "coincidence", the theory of evolu-
tion can never explain the source of the extraordinary information so perfectly
and meticulously encoded in DNA.
Moreover, the question is not only that of how the DNA chain originated.
Even the existence of the DNAchain with the extraordinary information capac-
ity it contains, means nothing by itself. In order to refer to life, it is essential that
the enzymes that read this DNA chain, copy them and produce proteins, also
exist. (Enzymes are large molecules that have certain functions in the cell which
they carry out with the precision of a robot.)
Simply put, in order to talk of life, both the data bank we call DNA, and the
machines to carry out production by reading the data in the bank have to co-
exist.
To our surprise, enzymes, which read DNA and carry out production
accordingly, are themselves produced according to the codes in DNA. This
means that there is a factory in the cell that both makes many different types of
products, and also manufactures the robots and machines that carry out this
production. The question of how this system, which would be of no use with a
minor defect in any of its mechanisms originated, is by itself enough to demol-
ish the theory of evolution.
German evolutionist Douglas R. Hofstadler, states his despair in the face of
this question:
