If there were a basic principle of matter which somehow drove organic systems
toward life, its existence should easily be demonstrable in the laboratory. One
could, for instance, take a swimming bath to represent the primordial soup. Fill
it with any chemicals of a non-biological nature you please. Pump any gases
over it, or through it, you please, and shine any kind of radiation on it that
takes your fancy. Let the experiment proceed for a year and see how many of
those 2,000 enzymes [proteins produced by living cells] have appeared in the
bath. I will give the answer, and so save the time and trouble and expense of
actually doing the experiment. You would find nothing at all, except possibly
for a tarry sludge composed of amino acids and other simple organic chemi-
cals. 6
Andrew Scott, an evolutionist biologist, also admits that life cannot
come from lifeless matter:

Take some matter, heat while stirring and wait. That is the modern version of
Genesis. The "fundamental" forces of gravity, electromagnetism and the strong
and weak nuclear forces are presumed to have done the rest . . . But how much
of this neat tale is firmly established, and how much remains hopeful specula-

Facing page: Seventeenth-century scientists at work. During that period, most of the
claims and theories put forward were far from scientific. Considering their lack of in-
formation, scientists of the time may be excused for their strange claims. But it is
hardly excusable for today's people to be still making claims like those put forward
during the Middle Ages. Evolutionists are among those who make such claims, whose
invalidity has been proven in today's laboratories.
