slightest suspicion, they would at once have seen
that the Miller experiment consisted merely of a scien-
tific fantasy tale, just like those scientists who previously
claimed, on the basis of observations of maggots emerging from

rubbish, that life emerged from inanimate matter. 11
Those who believe that Miller's experiment produced impor-
tant results fail to understand the important point that Miller con-
ducted his experiment under artificial conditions produced by
himself, having nothing to do with the atmosphere of the early
Earth; so the experiment was carried out under invalid conditions.
And most importantly, this experiment only synthesized amino
acids. Formation of amino acids by some means does not indicate
creation of life.

If we compare a living cell to a huge factory, amino acids are
the factory's bricks. It's vitally important how these bricks are de-
signed and arranged. So far, no experiment has shown how amino
acids came into being spontaneously, or organized themselves by
chance to produce a functional protein.
To form a living cell, a complex mecha-
nism must be wholly in place: hundreds
of different proteins, DNA codes and the
enzymes to read them, and a selectively
permeable cell membrane. However,
such a "chemical evolution" has

never been shown to be possible.
Moreover, to believe in such a
possibility is to believe in
the impossible. Paul
