by the American chemist Stanley Miller in 1953. Combining the ga-
ses he alleged to have existed in the primordial Earth's atmosphere
in an experiment set-up, and adding energy to the mixture, Miller
synthesized several organic molecules (amino acids) present in the
structure of proteins.
Barely a few years had passed before it was revealed that this
experiment, which was then presented as an important step in the
name of evolution, was invalid, for the atmosphere used in the expe-
riment was very different from the real Earth conditions. 85
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere medi-
um he used was unrealistic. 86
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 ar-
ticle 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? 87

The Complex Structure of Life

The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those li-
ving organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly complex
structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of our
man-made technological products. Today, even in the most develo-
ped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced by
bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of
