            these findings. However, as the development
            of science unraveled the complex structure of
            the cell of a living being, the idea that life could
            come into being coincidentally faced an even
            greater impasse.

            Alexander Oparin. With various theses he
            advanced in the 1930s, he tried to prove that a
            living cell could originate by coincidence.
            These studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had to
            make the following confession:
                 Unfortunately, however, the problem
                 of the origin of the cell is perhaps the
                 most obscure point in the whole study
                 of the evolution of organisms. 12

            tried to carry out experiments to solve
            this problem. The best known experiment
            was carried out by the American chemist
            Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the
            gases he alleged to have existed in the
            primordial Earth's atmosphere in an
            experiment set-up, and adding energy to
