LOYALTY DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experiments 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 primordial Earth's atmosphere in
an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller syn-
thesized several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the
structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this ex-
periment, which was then presented 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. 3
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medium
he used was unrealistic. 4
All the evolutionists' efforts throughout the twentieth century to ex-
plain the origin of life ended in failure. The geochemist Jeffrey Bada,
from the San Diego Scripps Institute accepts this fact in an article pub-
lished 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 cen-
tury: How did life originate on Earth? 5
The Complex Structure of Life
The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in such a
great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those living or-
ganisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex struc-
tures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most developed
laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by bringing
