For a moment, forget all the impossibilities described so far.
Assume that a protein molecule did form under the primeval Earth's
most unsuitable conditions.
The formation of a single protein will not be enough. It will have
to wait for other proteins, just like itself, to emerge by chance in this un-
controlled environment, until millions of the appropriate proteins
needed for producing the cell all form alongside one another, in the
same place. Those that form first must wait patiently, suffering no dam-
age from ultraviolet rays or mechanical abrasion, until the others ap-
pear, also by chance. Then these proteins, in the right quantities in the
same place, must combine in meaningful forms to give rise to the cell's
organelles. Meanwhile, no foreign substances, harmful molecules or
functionless proteins must infiltrate themselves.
And even if these organelles did manage to combine in an exceed-
ingly ordered, harmonious and interconnected way, absorbing all the
necessary enzymes and being enclosed in a membrane-and if that
membrane's interior were filled with a special fluid that constitutes the
ideal environment-could that collection of molecules then come to life?
No, because as research shows, in order for life to begin, it's not
enough for all the needed substances to be present together. Even if you
place all the proteins necessary for life in a test tube, still you cannot ob-
tain a living cell. All the experiments in this area have failed; all exper-
iments and observations show that life comes only from life. The claim
that life emerged by chance from inanimate substances is a myth that
conflicts with all observations and experiments, and which exists only
