chances of this kind of a reaction happening in a hydrate environment is
said to "have the least probability of occurring" of all chemical reactions.
Hence the ocean, which is claimed to be where life began and amino
acids originated, is definitely not an appropriate setting for amino acids to
form proteins. On the other hand, it would be irrational for evolutionists to
change their minds and claim that life originated on land, because the only
environment where amino acids could have been protected from ultravio-
let radiation is in the oceans and seas. On land, they would be destroyed
by ultraviolet rays. The Le Châtelier Principle disproves the claim of the
formation of life in the sea. This is another dilemma confronting evolution.

Another Desperate Effort: Fox's Experiment
Challenged by the above dilemma, evolutionists began to invent un-
realistic scenarios based on this "water problem" that so definitively re-
futed their theories. Sydney Fox was one of the best known of these
researchers. Fox advanced the following theory to solve this problem. Ac-
cording to him, the first amino acids must have been transported to some
cliffs near a volcano right after their formation in the primordial ocean.
The water contained in this mixture that included the amino acids present
on the cliffs, must have evaporated when the temperature increased above
boiling point. The amino acids which were "dried out" in this way, could
then have combined to form proteins.
However this "complicated" way out was not accepted by many peo-
ple in the field, because the amino acids could not have endured such high
temperatures. Research confirmed that amino acids are immediately de-
stroyed at very high temperatures.
But Fox did not give up. He combined purified amino acids in the lab-

In his experiment, Fox produced a sub-
stance called "proteinoid". Proteinoids
were randomly assembled combinations of
amino acids. Unlike proteins of living
things, these were useless and non-func-
tional chemicals.
Here is an electron microscope vision of
proteinoid particles.
