218 THE MIRACLE OF PROTEIN

Another Failure: The Fox Experiment
Despite its invalidity, some Darwinists still seek to use the
Miller experiment as proof that amino acids could have formed

from inanimate substances. But even if that were the case, it
would still not resolve Darwinists' difficulties! Even more im-
possible hurdles stand in their way: Amino acids would have to
combine to form proteins—which are vastly more complex
structures than amino acids.
And it is even more unrealistic to maintain that proteins
formed by chance under natural conditions. We have already
seen the mathematical impossibility of amino acids combining

in the sequences needed to give rise to proteins. And it's also
chemically impossible for proteins to have emerged in the pri-
mordial Earth's atmosphere.

The Problem of Synthesizing Proteins

in Water
As already made clear, when amino acids combine to form
proteins, they establish special peptide bonds among them-

selves. When this bond is established, a water molecule is re-
leased.
This invalidates the Darwinist account of primordial life
emerging in the seas because, according to the law of chemistry
known as the Le Chatelier principle, any reaction that releases
water (a so-called condensation reaction) cannot take place in

a watery environment. Specifically, such a reaction taking place
in a watery environment is described as having the ‘lowest
probability of occurrence.’
Therefore, the ocean—which many Darwinists describe as
the place where amino acids formed and life began—is an ab-
solutely unsuitable environment for amino acids to combine
