sibility of chance formation. This fact by itself is sufficient to elimi-
nate the evolutionist claim of chance right from the outset. To sum-

marize,
1. Protein cannot be synthesized without enzymes, and enzymes
are all proteins.
2. Around 100 proteins need to be present in order for a single
protein to be synthesized. There therefore need to be proteins for pro-
teins to exist.
3. DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing enzymes. Protein

cannot be synthesized without DNA. DNA is therefore also needed in
order for proteins to form.
4. All the organelles in the cell have important tasks in protein
synthesis. In other words, in order for proteins to form a perfect and
fully functioning cell needs to exist together with all its organelles.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a cell and
which stores genetic information, is a magnificent databank. If the infor-
mation coded in DNA were written down, it would make a giant library
consisting of an estimated 900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting of
500 pages each.

A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA can repli-
cate itself only with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes).
However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized only by the in-
formation coded in DNA. As they both depend on each other, they have
to exist at the same time for replication. This brings the scenario that life
originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of
repute from the University of San Diego, California, confesses this fact in
the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American magazine:

It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of which
are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same place at the
