After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium he used
was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to explain the ori-
gin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego
Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article published in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved
problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life
originate on Earth? 5

The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such a great
impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those living organisms deemed
to be the simplest have incredibly complex structures. The cell of a living thing
is more complex than all of our man-made technological products. Today, even
in the most developed laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be pro-
duced by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in quanti-
ty to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of proteins, the build-
ing blocks of a cell, being synthesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10 950 for an aver-
age protein made up of 500 amino acids. In mathematics, a probability small-
er than 1 over 10 is considered to be impossible in practical terms.

The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a 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 esti-
mated 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 proteins (enzymes). However, the syn-
thesis 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

The molecule called DNA contains the complete construction plan of the human body.
