                n the previous chapter, we have examined how impossible the acci-
                dental formation of life is. Let us again ignore these impossibilities for
            I just a moment. Let us suppose that millions of years ago a cell was
            formed which had acquired everything necessary for life, and that it duly
            "came to life". The theory of evolution again collapses at this point. For
            even if this cell had existed for a while, it would eventually have died and
            after its death, nothing would have remained, and everything would have
            reverted to where it had started. This is because this first living cell, lack-
            ing any genetic information, would not have been able to reproduce and
            start a new generation. Life would have ended with its death.
                 The genetic system does not only consist of DNA. The following
            things must also exist in the same environment: enzymes to read the code
            on the DNA, messenger RNA to be produced after reading these codes, a
            ribosome to which messenger RNA will attach according to this code,
            transfer RNA to transfer the amino acids to the ribosome for use in pro-
            duction, and extremely complex enzymes to carry out numerous interme-
            diary processes. Such an environment cannot exist anywhere apart from
            aa totally isolated and completely controlled environment such as the cell,
            where all the essential raw materials and energy resources exist.
                 As a result, organic matter can self-reproduce only if it exists as a fully
            developed cell with all its organelles and in an appropriate environment
            where it can survive, exchange materials, and get energy from its sur-
            roundings. This means that the first cell on earth was formed "all of a sud-
            den" together with its amazingly complex structure.
                 So, if a complex structure came into existence all of a sudden, what
            does this mean?
                 Let us ask this question with an example. Let us liken the cell to a high-
            tech car in terms of its complexity. (In fact, the cell is a much more complex
            and developed system than a car with its engine and all its technical equip-
            ment.) Now let us ask the following question: What would you think if you
