which was intended to be a continuation of Miller's experiment, should
have started out from the results obtained by Miller. Yet neither Fox, nor
any other researcher, used the useless amino acids Miller produced. 124
Fox's experiment was not even welcomed in evolutionist circles, be-
cause it was clear that the meaningless amino acid chains that he obtained
(which he termed "proteinoids") could not have formed under natural con-
ditions. Moreover, proteins, the basic units of life, still could not be pro-
duced. The problem of the origin of proteins remained unsolved. In an
article in the popular science magazine, Chemical Engineering News, which
appeared in the 1970s, Fox's experiment was mentioned as follows:
Sydney Fox and the other researchers managed to unite the amino acids in
the shape of "proteinoids" by using very special heating techniques under
conditions which in fact did not exist at all in the primordial stages of Earth.
Also, they are not at all similar to the very regular proteins present in living
things. They are nothing but useless, irregular chemical stains. It was ex-
plained that even if such molecules had formed in the early ages, they would
definitely be destroyed. 125
Indeed, the proteinoids Fox obtained were totally different from real
proteins both in structure and function. The difference between proteins
and these proteinoids was as huge as the difference between a piece of
high-tech equipment and a heap of unprocessed iron.
Furthermore, there was no chance that even these irregular amino
acid chains could have survived in the primordial atmosphere. Harmful
and destructive physical and chemical effects caused by heavy exposure to
ultraviolet light and other unstable natural conditions would have caused
these proteinoids to disintegrate. Because of the Le Châtelier principle, it
was also impossible for the amino acids to combine underwater, where ul-
traviolet rays would not reach them. In view of this, the idea that the pro-
teinoids were the basis of life eventually lost support among scientists.

The Miraculous Molecule: DNA
Our examinations so far have shown that the theory of evolution is in
a serious quandary at the molecular level. Evolutionists have shed no light
on the formation of amino acids at all. The formation of proteins, on the
other hand, is another mystery all its own.
Yet the problems are not even limited just to amino acids and pro-
teins: These are only the beginning. Beyond them, the extremely complex
