A Call for Unity



                 mordial Earth's atmosphere in an
                 experiment set-up, and adding en-
                 ergy to the mixture, Miller synthe-
                 sized several organic molecules
                 (amino acids) present in the struc-
                 ture of proteins.
                      Barely a few years had passed
                 before it was revealed that this ex-

                 periment, which was then present-
                 ed as an important step in the name           Ale xan der Opa rin
                 of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the ex-
                 periment was very different from the real Earth condi-
                 tions. 40
                      After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmos-
                 phere medium he used was unrealistic.   41

                      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 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 cen-
                      tury: How did life originate on Earth? 42

                      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 organisms deemed to be the simplest have
