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 estimat-
ed 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
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 magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic
acids, both of which are structurally complex, arose spon-
taneously 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. 6
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
spontaneously as a result of blind coincidences, then it has
to be accepted that life was "created." This fact explicitly
invalidates the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is
to deny Creation.
