THE ARROGANCE OF SATAN

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.
Avery 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 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. 7
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
from natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was
"created" in a supernatural way. This fact explicitly
invalidates the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to
deny creation.
