Inconclusive Efforts In The
Twentieth Century
The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin of life
in the twentieth century was the renowned Russian biologist
Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930s, he
tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence. These
studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had to make
the following confession:
Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is perhaps
the most obscure point in the whole study of the evolution of organ-
isms. 69
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments
to solve this problem. The best known experiment was carried out by
the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the gases he
alleged to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere in an ex-
periment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller synthe-
sized several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the structure
of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was verydifferent from the real Earth conditions. 70
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 71
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to
explain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey
Bada, from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an arti-
cle published in Earth magazine in 1998:
