The Evolution Deception

Pasteur for a long time. However, as the development of science unrav-
eled the complex structure of the cell of a living being, the idea that life
could come into being coincidentally faced an even greater impasse.

INCONCLUSIVE EFFORTS
IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY

The first evolutionist who took up the subject of the origin
of life in the 20th century was the renowned Russian biologist
Alexander Oparin. With various theses he advanced in the 1930’s, he
tried to prove that a living cell could originate by coincidence. These

studies, however, were doomed to failure, and Oparin had to make the
following confession: "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." 3
Evolutionist followers of Oparin tried to carry out experi-
ments to solve the problem of the origin of life. The best known of
these experiments was carried out by the American chemist Stanley

Miller in 1953. Combining the gases 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, the atmosphere used in the experi-

ment having been very different from real earth conditions. 4
After a long silence, Miller confessed that the atmosphere
medium he used was unrealistic. 5
