                                                         A very interesting dilem-
                                                     ma emerges at this point:
                                                     DNA can replicate itself only
                                                     with the help of some special-
               Stanley Miller
                                                     ized proteins (enzymes).
               However, the synthesis of these enzymes can be realized only by the in-
               formation coded in DNA. As they both depend on each other, they
               have to exist at the same time for replication. This brings the scenario
               that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolu-

               tionist of repute from the University of San Diego, California, confess-
               es this fact in the September 1994 issue of the Scientific American maga-
               zine:
                   It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
               which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same place
               at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one without the
               other. And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that life could
               never, in fact, have originated by chemical means. 251
                   No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from natu-
               ral causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created" in a super-
               natural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of evolution,
               whose main purpose is to deny creation.

                   The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that
               both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mechanisms"
               were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary power.
