Proteins are produced in the ribosome factory with the help of many enzymes and as a result of ex-
tremely complex processes within the cell. The ribosome is a complex cell organelle made up of proteins.
This leads, therefore, to another unreasonable supposition-that ribosomes, too, should have come into exis-

tence by chance at the same time. Even Nobel Prize winner Jacques Monod, who was one of the most fanat-
ical defenders of evolution-and atheism-explained that protein synthesis can by no means be considered to
depend merely on the information in the nucleic acids:
The code is meaningless unless translated. The modern cell's translating machinery consists of at least 50
macromolecular components, which are themselves coded in DNA: the code cannot be translated otherwise
than by products of translation themselves. It is the modern expression of omne vivum ex ovo. When and how
did this circle become closed?It is exceedingly difficult to imagine. 134

How could an RNA chain in the primordial world have taken such a decision, and what methods could
it have employed to make protein production happen by doing the work of 50 specialized particles on its
own? Evolutionists have no answer to these questions.

Dr. Leslie Orgel, one of the associates of Stanley Miller and Francis Crick from the University of
California at San Diego, uses the term "scenario" for the possibility of "the origination of life through the
RNA World". Orgel described what kind of features this RNA have had to have and how impossible this
would have been in his article "The Origin of Life" published in American Scientist in October 1994:

This scenario could have occured, we noted, if prebiotic RNA had two properties not evident today: A ca-
pacity to replicate without the help of proteins and an ability to catalyze every step of protein synthesis. 135
As should by now be clear, to expect these two complex and extremely essential processes from a mole-

cule such as RNA is only possible from the evolutionist's viewpoint and with the help of his power of imag-
ination. Concrete scientific facts, on the other hand, makes it explicit that the RNA World hypothesis, which
is a new model proposed for the chance formation of life, is an equally implausible fable.
Biochemist Gordon C. Mills from the University of Texas and Molecular biologist Dean Kenyon from

San Francisco State University assess the flaws of the RNA World scenario, and reach to a brief conclusion in
their article titled " The RNA World: A Critique": "RNA is a remarkable molecule. The RNA World hypothesis is
another matter. We see no grounds for considering it established, or even promising." 136
Science writer Brig Klyce's 2001 article explains that evolutionist scientists are very persistent on this

issue, but the results obtained so far have already shown that these efforts are all in vain:
