The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of a
cell and which stores genetic information, is an incredible
databank. If the information coded in DNA were written
down, it would make a giant library consisting of an estimated
900 volumes of encyclopedias consisting of 500 pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: DNA
can replicate itself only with the help of some specialized pro-
teins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can
be realized only by the information coded in DNA. As they
both depend on each other, they have to exist at the same time
for replication. This brings the scenario that life originated by
itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute
from the University of San Diego, California, confesses this
fact in the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American mag-
azine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both
of which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the
same place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to
have one without the other. And so, at first glance, one might
have to conclude that life could never, in fact, have originated
by chemical means. 50
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
from natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was
"created" in a supernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates
the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny cre-
ation.
