Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to
carry out experiments to solve the problem of
the origin of life. The best known of these
experiments was carried out by American
chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the

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, the atmosphere used in the experiment having
been very different from real earth
conditions. 36
After a long silence, Miller confessed
that the atmosphere medium he used was
unrealistic. 37
All the evolutionist efforts put forth
throughout the 20th century to explain the
origin of life ended with failure. The
geochemist Jeffrey Bada from San Diego
Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article
published in Earth Magazine in 1998:
