For a long time, advocates of the theory of evolution resisted
these findings. However, as the development of science unraveled

the complex structure of the cell of a living being, the idea that life
could come into being coincidentally faced an even greater impasse.

Inconclusive Efforts of the
Twentieth Century

The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of

life in the twentieth century was the renowned Russian biologist
Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930s,
he tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence.
These studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had

to make the following confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell
is perhaps the most obscure point in the whole study of the
evolution of organisms. 31

Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve this problem. The best known experiment was car-
ried 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 organic molecules (amino

acids) present in the structure of proteins.
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, for the
atmosphere used in the experiment was very
