58 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

amoeba to man, as if the amoeba were the simple beginning of the
process. On the contrary, if, as must almost necessarily be true, life arose
as a simple molecular system, the progression from this state to that of the
amoeba is at least as great as from amoeba to man. 137
Prof. Michael Pitman is chief scientist of Australia and foreign sec-
retary of the Australian Academy of Science:

Time is no help. Bio-molecules outside a living system tend to degrade
with time, not build up. In most cases, a few days is all they would last.
Time decomposes complex systems. If a large 'word' (a protein) or even a
paragraph is generated by chance, time will operate to degrade it. The
more time you allow, the less chance there is that fragmentary 'sense' will
survive the chemical maelstrom of matter. 138
John Maynard Smith and Eors Szathmary:
[accounting for the origin of this system remains] perhaps the most per-
plexing problem in evolutionary biology, because the existing translation-
al machinery is at the same time so complex, so universal and so essential
that it is hard to see how it could have come into existence or how life
could have existed without it. 139

Evolutionists' Confessions Stating That DNA Cannot
Form by Chance
Mathematics has now proven that chance plays no role in the forma-

tion of the data encoded in DNA. The word "impossible" fails to do jus-
tice to the probability of just one of the 30,000 genes making up DNA
forming by chance, let alone a DNA molecule consisting of billions of
components.
The evolutionist Ric¬hard Daw¬kins describes the complexity

within the cell thus:
Physics books may be complicated, but... the objects and phenomena that
a physics book describes are simpler than a single cell in the body of its
author. And the author consists of trillions of those cells ... organised with
intricate architecture and precision-engineering into a working machine
capable of writing a book. ... Each nucleus ... contains a digitally-coded
