The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

Evolutionist Myths Concerning the Origin
of Life
According to Darwinist scenarios, the first living cell
arose in a "primordial soup," a liquid environment where
certain organic molecules co-existed. Many Darwinists
suggest that this primordial soup was oceans or lake. In
the scenario, simple organic molecules in the primordial
soup formed amino acids, which later turned into mole-
cules able to copy themselves by forming proteins. But
there is no evidence for this tale of chemical evolution
whose different versions have been defended for the last
100 years. No such process has ever been observed.
Furthermore, it is now known that the atmosphere's gen-
eral structure is unsuited for the formation of amino
acids, the simplest building blocks of life, and that for
proteins to come into being by coincidence is mathemat-
ically impossible. However, Darwinists refuse to accept
Creation and continue to believe in this chemical evolution
story.
According to their scenario, which lacks any scientif-
ic foundation, the cell membrane—which would protect
the first organic molecules and other cell organelles that
formed the basis of the primordial cell—must all have
come into being spontaneously, simultaneously.
Statements made by the evolutionist biologist
Hoimar von Ditfurth are an example of Darwinists'
biased views on this subject:
. . . the cell has to seal itself against the outside world on the
