Evolutionist followers of
Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments 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 pri-
mordial Earth's atmosphere in an ex-
periment set-up, and adding energy
to the mixture, Miller synthesized
several organic molecules (amino
acids) present in the structure of pro-
teins.
Alexander Oparin's attempts to Barely a few years had passed
offer an evolutionist explanation
for the origin of life ended in a before it was revealed that this ex-
great fiasco. periment, which was then present-

ed as an important step in the name
of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the experiment
was very different from the real Earth conditions. ("New Evidence on
Evolution of Early Atmosphere and Life," Bulletin of the American Me-
teorological Society, vol 63, November 1982, 1328-1330)
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medi-
um he used was unrealistic. (Stanley Miller, Molecular Evolution of Life:
Current Status of the Prebiotic Synthesis of Small Molecules, 1986, p. 7)
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:

Today as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved
problem that we had when we entered the twentieth century: How did life
originate on Earth? (Jeffrey Bada, Earth, February 1998, p. 40)
