                 Of course, any such claim is exceptionally irrational and illogical. Yet evolutionists hide behind it since
             all their demagoguery is unable to provide a better explanation. First and foremost, there is not the slightest

             evidence to support their claim. When evolutionists realize that they cannot produce any explanation based
             on chance or imaginary evolutionary process, they immediately hide behind the idea of "visitors from
             space." Indeed, they came up with this ridiculous idea when they realized that the DNA in the cell nucleus
             and the first protein, representing the fundamental building block of life, had far too complex and extraordi-

             nary structures to have arisen by chance from inanimate substances. And so, visitors from space must have
             brought the first living organism to the Earth and left it behind. This ridiculous claim is one of the telltale
             signs of the despairing position evolutionists find themselves in.
