he sighs with exasperation. "How do you make polymers? That's
not so easy." 116
As we have seen, Miller himself realized that his experi-
ment added nothing to explain the origin of life. In the March

1998 edition of National Geographic magazine, an article titled
"The Rise of Life on Earth," contained the following:
Many scientists now suspect that the early atmosphere was
different from what Miller first supposed. They think it con-
sisted of carbon dioxide and nitrogen rather than hydrogen,
methane, and ammonia. That's bad news for chemists. When

they try sparking carbon dioxide and nitrogen, they get a paltry
amount of organic molecules—the equivalent of dissolving a
drop of food coloring in a swimming pool of water. Scientists
find it hard to imagine life emerging from such a diluted
soup. 117

In short, neither the Miller experiment nor any other evo-
lutionist endeavor can answer the question of how life on Earth
appeared. All their research shows the impossibility of life com-
ing into being by evolution and, therefore, that it was created.
Darwinists refuse to accept this because they hold to a series of
preconceptions that fly in the face of science. In fact, Harold
Urey—Stanley Miller's professor who helped set up his experi-

ment—made the following admission:
All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look
into it, the more we feel it is too complex to have evolved any-
where. We all believe as an article of faith that life evolved from

dead matter on this planet. It is just that its complexity is so
great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did. 118
At this stage, it is important to remind a point mentioned
in the beginning of this book. Even if the world was completely
full of amino acids, only proteins can join them together to make
