to the right in all known organisms? Similarly, all of the amino acids from
which proteins are formed twist to the left. The reason these molecules
have such uniform handedness, or 'chirality,' is not known, but there is no
shortage of theories on the subject. And, as was clear at a recent meeting
on the topic in Los Angeles, there is also no shortage of passion, which is
understandable, because the question of homochirality speaks to the
mother of all scientific mysteries: the origin of life. 178

In an article titled "The Origin of Life: More Questions Than
Answers," Prof. Klaus Dose, head of the Gutenberg University
Biochemistry Institute, is just one of those evolutionists who confesses
despair:
Moreover, we do not actually know where the genetic information of all
living cells originates, how the first replicable polynucleotides [nucleic
acids] evolved, or how the extremely complex structure-function rela-
tionships in modern cells came into existence. 179

John Maddox, a former editor of the evolutionist publication
Nature, says, "So it is disappointing that the origin of the genetic code is
still as obscure as the origin of life itself." 180 But actually, far from being
uncertain, the origin of the genetic code is perfectly obvious. It is just
one of the examples that exhibit the perfection in Allah's creation, as re-
vealed in the Qur'an:
He Who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw
in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again-do you see any gaps?
Then look again and again. Your sight will return to you dazzled and
exhausted! (Surat al-Mulk, 3-4)

Evolutionist accounts try to explain every perfection as the work
of chance. The cell's magnificently complex structure is the result of a
successfully accurate selection. Darwinists regard chance as the creator
