The Evolution Deceit

The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of ev-
olution ended up in such a big impasse about
the origin of life is that even the living organ-

isms deemed the simplest have incredibly
complex structures. The cell of a living being
is more complex than all of the technological
products produced by man. Today, even in the
most developed laboratories of the world, a
living cell cannot be produced by bringing in-
organic materials together.
As accepted also by the lat-

ty of proteins, the building blocks of cell, be-
ing synthesized coincidentally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up
of 500 amino acids. In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 50
is practically considered to be impossible.
The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of the cell and
which stores genetic information, is an incredible databank. It is calculat-
ed that if the information coded in DNA were written down, this would
make a giant library consisting of 900 volumes of encyclopaedias of 500

pages each.
A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: the DNA can only
replicate with the help of some specialized proteins (enzymes). However,
the synthesis of these enzymes can only be realized by the information
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 evolutionist of repute from
the University of San Diego, California, confesses this fact in the Septem-
ber 1994 issue of the Scientific American magazine:
