out experiments to solve this problem. The best known experiment
was carried out by the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953.
Combining the gases he alleged to have existed in the primordial
Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the
mixture, Miller synthesized several organic molecules (amino acids)
present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was very different from the real Earth conditions. 61
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium
he used was unrealistic. 62
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to
explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey
Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an arti-
cle published in Earth magazine in 1998:

Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest un-
solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth cen-
tury: How did life originate on Earth? 63

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 or-
ganisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex struc-
tures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most devel-
oped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by
bringing organic chemicals together.
