the name of evolution, was invalid, the atmosphere used in the
experiment having been very different from real earth condi-
tions. 4
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 5
All the evolutionist efforts put forth throughout the twenti-

geochemist Jeffrey Bada from San Diego Scripps Institute ac-
cepts this fact in an article 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? 6

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 liv-
ing 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 can-

The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too
great in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The
