used in the experiment was very different from the real Earth
conditions. 47
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere

medium he used was unrealistic. 48
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth
century to explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geo-
chemist Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute ac-

cepts 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? 49

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 living organisms deemed to be the simplest have
incredibly complex structures. The cell of a living thing is
more complex than all of our man-made technological prod-

ucts. Today, even in the most developed laboratories of the
world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing organic
chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too

great in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The
probability of proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being syn-
thesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein
made up of 500 amino acids. In mathematics, a probability

smaller than 1 over 10 50 is considered to be impossible in prac-
