istic experiments simulating possible primitive earth conditions. What is
worse, these molecules are generally minor constituents of tars: It re-
mains problematical how they could have been separated and purified
through geochemical processes whose normal effects are to make organ-

ic mixtures more and more of a jumble. With somewhat more complex
molecules, these difficulties rapidly increase. 203
The German scientists Reinhard Junker and Siegfried Scherer note
that the synthesis of the molecules essential for life require very differ-
ent conditions. This, according to them, shows that there is no possibil-
ity of the many different substances necessary for life combining to-
gether:

Until now, no experiment is known in which we can obtain all the mole-
cules necessary for chemical evolution. Therefore, it is essential to pro-
duce various molecules in different places under very suitable conditions
and then to carry them to another place for reaction by protecting them
from harmful elements like hydrolysis and photolysis. This combination
of events has seemed an incredibly unlikely happenstance, and has often
been ascribed to divine intervention. 204
In his book The Origin of Life, Dr. John Keosian admits the despair-
ing position in which evolutionists find themselves:

Claims of chemical evolution are unreal. We are asked to believe that bi-
ochemical compounds, biochemical reactions and mechanisms, energy
metabolism, and storage, specific polymerizations, codes, transcription
and translation apparatus, and more, appeared in probiotic [inaudible
word], with a function they would have, in a living thing, before there
were living things. Chemical evolution has become an end in itself. In
many cases it represents contrived or ingenious laboratory syntheses
which have no counterpart in abiotic organic chemical synthesis in an ac-
ceptable range of probiotic conditions . . . there has been an good deal of
uncritical acceptance of experiments, results and conclusions which we
are all too ready to acknowledge because they support preconceived con-
