PROTEIN SYNTHESIS:
The ribosome reads the messenger RNA, and arranges the amino acids accord-
ing to the information it receives there. In the illustrations, the consecutive
order of the [ val, cys, and ala amino acids ], established by the ribosome and
transfer RNA, can be seen. All proteins in nature are produced by this complex
process. No protein comes about by "accident."

The Evolutionary Argument about the

Origin of Life

Above all, there is one important point to take into consideration: If any one
step in the evolutionary process is proven to be impossible, this is sufficient to prove
that the whole theory is totally false and invalid. For instance, by proving that the
haphazard formation of proteins is impossible, all other claims regarding the subse-

quent steps of evolution are also refuted. After this, it becomes meaningless to take
some human and ape skulls and engage in speculation about them.
How living organisms came into existence out of nonliving matter was
an issue that evolutionists did not even want to mention for a long time.
However, this question, which had constantly been avoided, eventu-

ally had to be addressed, and attempts were made to settle it with a se-
ries of experiments in the second quarter of the twentieth century.
The main question was: How could the first living cell have ap-
peared in the primordial atmosphere on the earth? In other words,
what kind of explanation could evolutionists offer?
The first person to take the matter in hand was the Russian biologist

Alexander I. Oparin, the founder of the concept of "chemical evolution."
Despite all his theoretical studies, Oparin was unable to produce any results val valine
to shed light on the origin of life. He says the following in his book The Origin of cys cysteine
Life, published in 1936: ala alanine

Unfortunately, however, the problem of the origin of the cell is perhaps the most obscure point in the whole study of
the evolution of organisms. 214

Since Oparin, evolutionists have performed countless experiments, conducted research, and made obser-

vations to prove that a cell could have been formed by chance. However, every such attempt only made the
complex structure of the cell clearer, and thus refuted the evolutionists' hypotheses even more. Professor Klaus
Dose, the president of the Institute of Biochemistry at the University of Johannes Gutenberg, states:

More than 30 years of experimentation on the origin of life in the fields of chemical and molecular evolution have
led to a better perception of the immensity of the problem of the origin of life on earth rather than to its solution. At
present all discussions on principal theories and experiments in the field either end in stalemate or in a confes-
sion of ignorance. 215

In his book The End of Science, the evolutionary science writer John Horgan says of the origin of life, "This
is by far the weakest strut of the chassis of modern biology." 216

The following statement by the geochemist Jeffrey Bada, from the San Diego-based Scripps Institute, makes
the helplessness of evolutionists clear:

Today, as we leave the twentieth century, we still face the biggest unsolved problem that we had when we entered
the twentieth century: How did life originate on Earth? 217

Let us now look at the details of the theory of evolution's "biggest unsolved problem". The first subject we
have to consider is the famous Miller experiment.
