               4. All the organelles in the cell have important tasks in protein
             synthesis. In other words, for proteins to form, a complete and fully
             functioning cell needs to exist with all its organelles.
               Evolutionist science writer Brian Switek admitted that the origin
             of life remains to be unaccountable by evolutionists as follows:
                 How life began is one of nature’s enduring mysteries. (Brian Switnek,
                 “Debate bubbles over the origin of life”, Nature, February 13, 2012)
               Harvard chemist George Whitesides made the following confes-
             sion in his acceptance speech of the Priestley Medal, the highest
             award of the American Chemical Society:
                 The Origin of Life. This problem is one of the big ones in science. ... Most
                 chemists believe, as do I, that life emerged spontaneously from mixtures of
                 molecules in the prebiotic Earth. How? I have no idea. (George M.
                 Whitesides, “Revolutions In Chemistry: Priestley Medalist George M.
                 Whitesides’ Address”, Chemical and Engineering News, 85: 12-17, March

               The DNA molecule, located in the nucleus of a cell and which
             stores genetic information, is a magnificent databank. If the informa-
             tion coded in DNA were transcribed on paper, it would make a giant
             library consisting of an estimated 900 volumes of 500 pages each.
               A very interesting insurmountable predicament emerges at this
             point for the evolutionists: DNA can replicate itself only with the
             help of some specialized proteins (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 must exist at the same
             time for replication. This razes the scenario where life originated by
             itself to the ground. 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,
