PROPHET YUSUF (AS)

A very interesting dilemma emerges at this point: the DNA
can only replicate with the help of some specialized proteins (en-
zymes). However, the synthesis of these enzymes can only be realized

by the information coded in DNA. As they both depend on each
other, they have to exist at the same time for replication. This brings
the scenario that life originated by itself to a deadlock. Prof. Leslie
Orgel, an evolutionist of repute from the University of San Diego,

California, confesses this fact in the September 1994 issue of the
Scientific American magazine:
It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both of
which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the same
place at the same time. Yet it also seems impossible to have one
without the other. And so, at first glance, one might have to con-
clude that life could never, in fact, have originated by chemical
means. 7
No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from

natural causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created" in a
supernatural way. This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of evolu-
tion, whose main purpose is to deny creation.

IMAGINARY MECHANISMS

OF EVOLUTION

The second important point that negates Darwin’s theory is
that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mecha-

nisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the mech-
anism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on this mech-

anism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of Species, By
