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. 2
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 atmos-
phere 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 ex-
periment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists’ efforts throughout the twentieth cen-
tury 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 published in Earth magazine in 1998:
Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved
problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life
originate on Earth? 5
The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those
