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
26, 2007)
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,
