For a long time, advocates of the theory of evolution resisted
these findings. However, as the development of science unrav-
eled the complex structure of the cell of a living being, the idea
that life could come into being coincidentally faced an even great-
er impasse.
The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of
life in the twentieth century was the renowned Russian biologist
Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930s,
he tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence.
These studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had
to make the following confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is
perhaps the most obscure point in the whole study of the evo-
lution of organisms. 43
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve this problem. The best known experiment was car-
ried out by the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953.
Combining the gases he alleged to have existed in the primordial
Earth's atmosphere in an experiment set-up, and adding energy
to the mixture, Miller synthesized several organic molecules (ami-
no acids) present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, which was then presented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the ex-
periment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 44
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
