preserve their stability: "It seems probable that in an oceanic chemical
soup, the synthesis of RNA and other essential biomolecules would
have been short-circuited at nearly every turn by many cross-reac-

tions." 207
In fact, when biochemists separate DNA from the cell or synthesiz-
es it in the laboratory, they do not leave it in water-which would cause
it to dissolve-or in a jar on the bench at room temperature. In all prob-
ability, they store it in a tube with a tightly closed stopper, and in liquid
nitrogen in a deep freeze. Yet even under these conditions, the chemi-
cal bonds inside the molecule gradually fall apart, and biological effect-
iveness is gradually lost. 208
Evolutionists totally ignore the fact that DNA, RNA and protein
molecules would soon be eliminated under natural conditions in the
supposed primeval ocean. In his book The Origins of Prebiological
Systems, Dr. Carl Sagan admits that the existing scenarios regarding the
origin of life are unsatisfactory:

The problem we're discussing is a very general one. We use energy sour-
ces to make organic molecules. It is found that the same energy sources
can destroy these organic molecules. The organic chemist has an under-
standable preference for removing the reaction products from the energy
source before they are destroyed. But when we talk of the origin of life, I
think we should not neglect the fact that degradation occurs as well as
synthesis, and that the course of reaction may be different if the products
are not preferentially removed. In reconstructing the origin of life, we
have to imagine reasonable scenarios which somehow avoid this diffi-
culty. 209
