into being by chance is mathemat-
ically "0."
The main reason for this is
the need for other proteins to be
present if one protein is to form,
and this completely eradicates
the possibility of chance forma-
tion. This fact by itself is suffi-
cient to eliminate the evolution-
ist claim of chance right from the
outset. To summarize,
1. Protein cannot be syn- The Russian biologist

thesized without enzymes, and
enzymes are all proteins.
2. Around 100 proteins need to be present in order
for a single protein to be synthesized. There therefore
need to be proteins for proteins to exist.
3. DNA manufactures the protein-synthesizing en-
zymes. Protein cannot be synthesized without DNA. DNA
is therefore also needed in order for proteins to form.
4. All the organelles in the cell have important tasks
in protein synthesis. In other words, in order for proteins
to form a perfect and fully functioning cell needs to exist
together with all its organelles.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of
a cell and which stores genetic information, is a magnificent
databank. If the information coded in DNA were written
down, it would make a giant library consisting of an esti-
mated 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
proteins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of these en-
zymes can be realized only by the information coded in
