                 Alexander I. Oparin is a Russian evolutionist biochemist at

            Moscow University and director of Moscow's A. N. Bakh Institute:
                 Unfortunately, however, the problem of the
                 origin of the cell is perhaps the most obscure
                 point in the whole study of the evolution of
                 organisms. 114
                 Loren Eiseley, anthropologist:
                 To grasp in detail the physio-chemical orga-
                 nization of the simplest cell is far beyond
                 our capacity. 115
                 Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy is a biologist at
            Hacettepe University:
                                                             Ale xan der I. Opa rin
                 In essence, no satisfactory explanation for
                 the development of groups of cells with
                 very different structures and functions has yet been provided. 116
                 Prof. Dr. Klaus Dose is president of the Johannes Gutenberg
            University Biochemistry Institute in Germany:
                 More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of
                 chemical and molecular evolution have led to a better perception of the
                 immensity of the problem of the origin of life on Earth rather than to its
                 solution. At present, all discussions on principal theories and experiments
                 in the field either end in stalemate or in a confession of ignorance. 117

                 In spite of many attempts, there have been no breakthroughs during the
                 past 30 years to help to explain the origin of chirality  in living cells. 118

                 Dr. David A. Kaufman of University of Florida:
                 Evolution lacks a scientifically acceptable explanation of the source of the
                 precisely planned codes within cells, without which there can be no spe-
                 cific proteins and hence, no life. 119

                 Jeffrey Bada is professor of marine chemistry at the San Diego
            State University:
                 Today, as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest un-
                 solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How
                 did life originate on Earth? 120
