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 encyclopedias consisting of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA
can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized pro-
teins (enzymes). 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 originat-
ed 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:
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. 6
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 supernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates
the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny cre-
ation.
