162 THE EVOLUTION DECEIT

tremely essential processes from a molecule such as RNA is only possible
from the evolutionist's viewpoint and with the help of his power of imagi-
nation. Concrete scientific facts, on the other hand, makes it explicit that
the RNA World hypothesis, which is a new model proposed for the chance
formation of life, is an equally implausible fable.
Biochemist Gordon C. Mills from the University of Texas and Molec-
ular biologist Dean Kenyon from San Francisco State University assess the
flaws of the RNA World scenario, and reach to a brief conclusion in their
article titled " The RNA World: A Critique": "RNA is a remarkable molecule.
The RNA World hypothesis is another matter. We see no grounds for considering
it established, or even promising." 137

Science writer Brig Klyce's 2001 article explains that evolutionist sci-
entists are very persistent on this issue, but the results obtained so far have
already shown that these efforts are all in vain:
Research in the RNA world is a medium-sized industry. This research has
demonstrated how exceedingly difficult it would be for living cells to origi-
nate by chance from nonliving matter in the time available on Earth. That
demonstration is a valuable contribution to science. Additional research will
be valuable as well. But to keep insisting that life can spontaneously emerge
from nonliving chemicals in the face of the newly comprehended difficulties
is puzzling. It is reminiscent of the work of medieval alchemists who persis-
tently tried to turn lead into gold. 138

Life is a Concept Beyond Mere Heaps of Molecules
So far, we have examined how impossible the accidental formation of
life is. Let us again ignore these impossibilities for just a moment. Let us
suppose that a protein molecule was formed in the most inappropriate,
most uncontrolled environment such as the primordial earth conditions.
The formation of only one protein would not be sufficient; this protein
would have to wait patiently for thousands, maybe millions of years in
this uncontrolled environment without sustaining any damage, until an-
other molecule was formed beside it by chance under the same conditions.
It would have to wait until millions of correct and essential proteins were
formed side by side in the same setting all "by chance". Those that formed
earlier had to be patient enough to wait, without being destroyed despite
ultraviolet rays and harsh mechanical effects, for the others to be formed
