come into being coincidentally faced an even

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
