1. When it is impossible to explain the coincidental formation of even one of
          the nucleotides making up RNA, how can it be possible for these imaginary
          nucleotides  to  form  RNA by  coming  together  in  a  proper  sequence?
          Evolutionist biologist John Horgan admits the impossibility of the chance for-
          mation of RNAas follows;
             As researchers continue to examine the RNA-world concept closely, more
             problems emerge. How did RNA arise initially? RNA and its components
             are difficult to synthesize in a laboratory under the best of conditions, much
             less under plausible ones. 8
             2. Even if we suppose that it formed by chance, how could this RNA made
          up of simply a nucleotide chain have "decided" to self-replicate and with what
          kind of a mechanism could it have carried out this self-replicating process?
          Where did it find the nucleotides it used while self-replicating? Even evolu-
          tionist microbiologists Gerald Joyce and Leslie Orgel express the desperateness
          of the situation in their book titled "In the RNA World":

             This discussion... has, in a sense, focused on a straw man: the myth of a self-
             replicating RNA molecule that arose de novo from a soup of random
             polynucleotides. Not only is such a notion unrealistic in light of our current
             understanding of prebiotic chemistry, but it should strain the credulity of
             even an optimist's view of RNA's catalytic potential. 9

             3. Even if we suppose that there was a self-replicating RNA in the primor-
          dial world, that numerous amino acids of every type ready to be used by RNA
          were available and that all of these impossibilities somehow took place, the sit-
          uation still does not lead to the formation of even a single protein. For RNAonly
          includes information concerning the structure of  proteins. Amino acids, on the
          other hand, are raw materials. Nevertheless, no mechanism exists to produce
          proteins. To consider the existence of RNA sufficient for protein production is
          as nonsensical as expecting a car to be self-assembled and self-manufactured by
          simply throwing its design drawn on paper on thousands of its parts piled
          upon each other. In this case, too, production is out of the question since no fac-
          tory or workers are involved in the process.
