The Miracle in the Cell Membrane

of California, directed by university graduate student
Charles Apel, maintained that in fresh water in a labora-
tory environment, they had obtained membrane-struc-
tured blebs, structures that proved that life could appear

spontaneously in fresh waters. These claims are unsci-
entific, however, nothing more than biased interpreta-
tions put forward in the light of evolutionists' preconcep-
tions. We shall examine the reasons for this in detail in
the following pages.

The Membrane Produced in the
Laboratory Is Not As Complex as the Cell
Membrane

Up to this point evolutionists have maintained that
life emerged in the oceans, in salt waters. Yet in experi-
ments carried out in salt waters, no membrane ever
appeared. Fresh water was used in Apel's experiment,
and obtained blebs with a membranous structure.
That these were obtained in the laboratory offers no
support for the theory that the DNA, the cell, or the
organelles and proteins within it formed spontaneously
in water.
1. The laboratory membrane does not possess the fea-
tures of the cell membrane. Of course, certain chemical
and physical effects can align molecules in water,
depending on whether they are hydrophilic or
hydrophobic.). Yet this membrane bears no resemblance
to the cell membrane, because the cell membrane has
