both depend on each other, they have to exist at the same
time for replication. This brings the scenario that life origi-
nated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolution-

ist 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 nucle-
ic 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 con-
clude that life could never, in fact, have originated by
chemical means. 6

No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated spon-
taneously 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.

Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

The second important point that negates Darwin's theory
is that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolu-
tionary mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no
evolutionary power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the
mechanism of "natural selection." The importance he placed
on this mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The
Origin of Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
