The same truth is also admitted by Prof. Karl Raimund Popper, a
20 th century philosopher of science with evolutionist views, who de-

scribes this dilemma:
What makes the origin of life and of the genetic code a disturbing riddle
is this: the genetic code is without any biological function unless it is
translated; that is, unless it leads to the synthesis of the proteins whose
structure is laid down by the code. But… the machinery by which the cell
translates the code consists of at least fifty macromolecular components
which are themselves coded in the DNA. Thus the code cannot be trans-
lated except by using certain products of its translation. This constitutes
a baffling circle; a really vicious circle, it seems, for any attempt to form a
model or theory of the genesis of the genetic code. 191

As Prof. Popper stresses, all the building blocks of the cell and the
information belonging to its organelles are recorded in DNA. However,
in order for the information in DNA to be used, those building blocks
and organelles must already be in existence. This clearly refutes the the-
ory of evolution's claims of gradual development: Organelles cannot
exist without the coded information in DNA, just as the coded informa-
tion in DNA cannot be used without those organelles. Both need to be
present at the same time. Therefore, the claim of a transition from sim-
ple cells to complex ones is a myth. Despite holding evolutionist views,
the zoologist David E. Green and the biochemist Prof. Robert F.
Goldberger have this to say in a paper in a scientific journal:

The popular conception of primitive cells as the starting point for the or-
igin of the species is really erroneous. There was nothing functionally
primitive about such cells. They contained basically the same biochemi-
cal equipment as do their modern counterparts. How, then, did the pre-
cursor cell arise? The only unequivocal rejoinder to this question is that
we do not know. 192
The theory of evolution seeks to account for all of life in terms of
chance, but can never explain the origin of the extraordinary informa-
