             ble for a living cell to emerge by random coincidences assembling tiny

             components over a span of millions of years. The cell's complete unity
             is too complex for its components to have emerged in stages. In order
             to survive, the cell must exist as a complete with all its components,
             right from the very outset. This is another dilemma that the theory of
             evolution cannot explain away.

                  The enzymes that read DNA and engage in production according-
             ly are also produced according to the codes inside that same DNA.
             Inside each cell exists a factory that produces a wide range of products
             and also the structures to produce them. How could this system-a defi-
             ciency at any single point of which would render it non-functioning-
             have emerged on its own? That question is sufficient to demolish the
             theory of evolution.
                  The fact that DNA can be copied only with the assistance of a
             number of enzymes in the protein structure, and that the synthesis of
             these same enzymes takes place only in line with the information en-
             coded inside the DNA, shows that the protein and DNA are mutually
             dependent. For that reason, they both must be present right from the
             outset if the DNA is to be copied itself. The science writer John Horgan
             clarifies this equation:
                  DNA cannot do its work, including forming more DNA without the help
