56 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy is a biologist at Hacettepe University:

Complex cells never developed from primitive cells by a process of evo-
lution. 128

Dr. Alfred G. Fisher, who is an evolutionist, mentions in the fossil
section of Grolier multimedia encyclopedia:
Both the origin of life and the origin of the major groups of animals re-
main unknown. 129
Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy:
In fact, the probability of the random formation of a protein and a nucle-
ic acid (DNA-RNA) is inconceivably small. The probability against the
emergence of even a particular protein chain is astronomic. 130
One of the most difficult stages to be explained in evolution is to scientif-
ically explain how organelles and complex cells developed from these
(supposedly) primitive creatures. No transitional form has been found be-
tween these two forms. One- and multicelled creatures carry all this com-
plicated structure, and no creature or group has yet been found with or-
ganelles of a simpler construction in any way, or which are more primi-
tive. In other words, the organelles carried forward have developed just
as they are. They have no simple and primitive forms. 131

The heart of the problem is how the mitochondria have acquired this fea-
ture, because attaining this feature by chance even by one individual, re-
quires extreme probabilities that are incomprehensible... The enzymes
providing respiration and functioning as a catalyst in each step in a dif-
ferent form make up the core of the mechanism. A cell has to contain this
enzyme sequence completely, otherwise it is meaningless. Here, despite
being contrary to biological thought, in order to avoid a more dogmatic
explanation or speculation, we have to accept, though reluctantly, that all
the respiration enzymes completely existed in the cell before the cell first
came in contact with oxygen. 132
However, there is a major problem here. Mitochondria use a fixed num-
ber of enzymes during the process of breaking (with oxygen). The absence
of only one of these enzymes stops the functioning of the whole system.
Besides, energy gain with oxygen does not seem to be a system which can
proceed step by step. Only the complete system performs its function.
That is why, instead of the step-by-step development to which we have
