The Misconception of Evolution

The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of
evolution ended up in such a big impasse

about the origin of life is that even the living
organisms 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 Alexander Oparin
by bringing inorganic materials together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great in
quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of
proteins, the building blocks of cell, being 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
calculated 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 September 1994 issue of the Scientific American
magazine:

It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both
of which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the
