                                 The Evolution Misconception

              to be impossible.
                  The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of the
              cell and which stores genetic information, is an incredible
              databank. It is calculated that if the information coded in DNA
              were written down, this would make a giant library consisting

              of 900 volumes of encyclopaedias of 500 pages each.
                  Avery interesting dilemma emerges at this point: the
              DNA can only replicate with the help of some specialized
              proteins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes
              can only be realized by the information coded in DNA. As
              they both depend on each other, they have to exist at the
              same time for replication. This brings the scenario that life
              originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an
              evolutionist of repute from the University of San Diego,
              California, confesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of
              the Scientific American magazine:
                 It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
                 which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same

                 place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one
                 without the other. And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude
                 that life could never, in fact, have originated by chemical means.  48
                  No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
              from natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was
              "created" in a supernatural way. This fact explicitly
              invalidates the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to
              deny creation.
