maybe millions of years in this uncontrolled environment without sustaining
any damage, until another molecule was formed beside it by chance under the
same conditions. It would have to wait until millions of correct and essential
proteins were formed side by side in the same setting all "by chance". Those that
formed earlier had to be patient enough to wait, without being destroyed
despite ultraviolet rays and harsh mechanical effects, for the others to be
formed right next to them. Then these proteins in adequate number, which all
originated at the very same spot, would have to come together by making
meaningful combinations and form the organelles of the cell. No extraneous
material, harmful molecule, or useless protein chain may interfere with them.
Then, even if these organelles were to come together in an extremely harmo-
nious and co-operative way within a plan and order, they must take all the nec-
essary enzymes beside themselves and become covered with a membrane, the
inside of which must be filled with a special liquid to prepare the ideal envi-
ronment for them. Now even if all these "highly unlikely" events actually
occurred by chance, would this molecular heap come to life?
The answer is No, because research has revealed that the mere combination
of all the materials essential for life is not enough for life to get started. Even
if all the essential proteins for life
were collected and put in a test tube,
these efforts would not result with God... There is no
