108                       DEEP THINKING






























                                                     One of the facts nullifying the theo-
                                                         ry of evolution is the incredibly
                                                      complex structure of life. The DNA
                                                       molecule located in the nucleus of
                                                     cells of living beings is an example of
                                                      this. The DNA is a sort of databank
                                               formed of the arrangement of four different
                                            molecules in different sequences. This databank
                                 contains the codes of all the physical traits of that living being.
                              When the human DNA is put into writing, it is calculated that this
                               would result in an encyclopedia made up of 900 volumes. Unques-
                                         tionably, such extraordinary information definitively
                                                      refutes the concept of coincidence.



                                           synthesis of these enzymes can be real-
                                          ized only by the information coded in
                                         DNA. As they both depend on each other,
                                        they have to exist at the same time for repli-
                                      cation. This brings the scenario that life origi-
            nated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute
            from the University of San Diego, California, confesses this fact in the Sep-
            tember 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
