EVOLUTIONISTS' CONFESSIONS
REGARDING THE DEAD-END OF
MOLECULAR EVOLUTION

T o the question of how life on Earth originally emerged, the
T

theory of evolution has no answers to give, even right from
the very beginning of the debate. Evolutionists claim that life
began with one single cell that came into being by chance. According to

this scenario, under the effects of lightning and earthquakes, various
inanimate substances entered into a reaction in the primordial atmos-
phere of some 4 billion years ago, thus giving rise to the first cell.
This scenario cannot be true, because life is far too complex to have
emerged in any chance manner. Even the very smallest organism has lit-
erally millions of biochemical components that interact with it, each one
of them vital for the organism to survive at all.

W. H. Thorpe, an evolutionist scientist admits as much: "The most el-
ementary type of cell constitutes a 'mechanism' unimaginably more com-
98
plex than any machine yet thought up, let alone constructed, by man." It
is absolutely impossible for the components of this exceedingly complex
system to form all at once, in the right place, at the right time, in total com-
patibility with one another.
It is also impossible for such a complex system to have come into be-
ing gradually, as Darwin maintained, because it can function only when
all its parts are ready and operative. More primitive stages would serve

no purpose at all. Indeed, the thesis that inanimate substances can com-
bine together in such a way as to give rise to life is an unscientific one that
