WISDOM AND SOUND ADVICE FROM THE TORAH

Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments to
solve this problem. The best known experiment was carried out by the
American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he alleged
to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere in an experiment
set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthesized several or-
ganic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was very different from the real Earth conditions. 64
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium
he used was unrealistic. 65
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to
explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada,
from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article pub-
lished in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest un-
solved problem that we had when we entered the twentieth centu-
ry: How did life originate on Earth? 66

The Complex Structure of Life

The primary reason why evolutionists ended up in such a great im-
passe regarding the origin of life is that even those living organisms Dar-
winists deemed to be the simplest have outstandingly complex features. The
cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our man-made technologi-
cal products. Today, even in the most developed laboratories of the world,
no single protein of the cell, let alone a living cell itself, can be produced
by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences.
However, there is no need to explain the situation with these details.
Evolutionists are at a dead-end even before reaching the stage of the cell.
That is because the probability of just a single protein, an essential building
