THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION

is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids. In

mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is practically con-
sidered to be impossible.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of the cell and
which stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. It is cal-
culated that if the information coded in DNA were written down, this
would make a giant library consisting of 900 volumes of encyclopae-
dias of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: the DNA can only
replicate with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes).
However, the synthesis of these enzymes can only be realized 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 evo-
lutionist of repute from the University of San Diego, California, con-
fesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American
magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of which
are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same place at the
same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one without the other.
And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that life could never,
in fact, have originated by chemical means. 7

No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from natural
causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created" in a supernat-
ural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of evolution,
whose main purpose is to deny creation.

Imaginary Mechanisms of Evolution
The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that
both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary power.
