adhered so far as a principle, we feel the urge to embrace the suggestion
that, all the enzymes (Krebs enzyme) needed to perform the reactions of
the mitochondria entered a cell all at once by coincidence or, were formed
in that cell all at once. That is merely because those systems failing to use
oxygen fully, in other words, those systems remaining in the intermediate
level would disappear as soon as they react with oxygen. 133

There is a very important point that needs to be clarified here. Prof.
Demirsoy says that the probability of mitochondrial enzymes entering the
cell by chance is very small. The probability is in fact zero (mathemati-
cians regard probabilities lower than 1 in 10 followed by 50 zeroes as nil).
There is therefore no place for enzymes to come into being by coincidence,
by combining together at the right time and place by chance and co-oper-
ating to produce a function of such perfection that it exceeds the compre-
hension of the human mind.

Harold F. Blum is professor of biology at Princeton University:
The spontaneous formation of a polypeptide of the size of the smallest
known proteins seems beyond all probability. 134

Britannica Encyclopedia of Science, which is known to be pro- evolution,
states that the amino acids of all living organisms on earth, and the build-
ing blocks of complex polymers such as proteins, have the same left-
handed asymmetry. It adds that this is tantamount to tossing a coin a mil-
lion times and always getting heads. The same encyclopedia states that it
is impossible to understand why molecules become left-handed or right-
handed, and that this choice is fascinatingly related to the origin of life on
earth. 135
Wendell R. Bird is the author of The Origin of Species Revisited:
This unique sequence represents a choice of one out of 102,000,000 alter-
native ways of arranging the bases! We are compelled to conclude that the
origin of the first life was a unique event, which we cannot be discussed
in terms of probability. 136
Evolutionist George Gaylord Simpson is professor of zoology at
Columbia University:
Above the level of the virus, the simplest fully living unit is almost in-
credibly complex. It has become commonplace to speak of evolution from
