The Origin of Life. This problem is one of the big ones in

science. ... Most chemists believe, as do I, that life emerged
spontaneously from mixtures of molecules in the prebiotic
Earth. How? I have no idea. (George M. Whitesides, "Revolu-
tions In Chemistry: Priestley Medalist George M. Whitesides'
Address", Chemical and Engineering News, 85: 12-17, March
26, 2007)

The DNA molecule, located in the nucleus of a cell and which
stores genetic information, is a magnificent databank. If the informa-
tion coded in DNA were transcribed on paper, it would make a giant

library consisting of an estimated 900 volumes of 500 pages each.
A very interesting insurmountable predicament emerges at this
point for the evolutionists: DNA can replicate itself only with the help
of some specialized proteins (enzymes). However, the synthesis of
these enzymes can be realized only by the information coded in DNA.
As they both depend on each other, they must exist at the same time
for replication. This razes the scenario where life originated by itself to

the ground. Prof. Leslie Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the Uni-
versity 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 same place
at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one without the
other. And so, at first glance, one might have to conclude that life could
never, in fact, have originated by chemical means. (Leslie E. Orgel, “The
Origin of Life on Earth,” Scientific American, vol. 271, October 1994, p. 78.)

No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated sponta-

neously through blind coincidence, then it must be accepted that life
was created. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of evolution,
whose main purpose is to deny creation.
