Evolutionary scientists have performed controlled experiments to try
and demonstrate the creation of DNA and RNA by chance. One of these scientists
was H. Fakhrai.362/295-302 He produced a string of as many as twelve
nucleotides using metal catalysts. The problem however with his experiments are
that what he produced could never be produced under primitive earth conditions
(see Chapter 3) or under any natural conditions. They are also unstable with the
presence of water. Also he used phosphorimidazolides which are totally
irrelevant to the origin of life. The nucleotides in DNA and RNA are linked
together through 3'-5' linkages. In Fakhrai’s work they were linked both 3'-5'
and 2'-5'. They also produced short chains consisting only of either the
nucleotide of guanine or adenine. Mixed DNA molecules were not produced. Their
experiment also did not produce polynucleotides of the pyramidine:
cytosine and thiamine. No protein-like polypeptide has ever been produced. Also
these experiments produced both D- and L-forms of the amino acids. Just one
D-amino acid in a protein obliterates all biological activity.
It is not enough to have the chance formation of nucleotides to produce life.
The presence of DNA in itself does not produce life. The DNA molecule requires a
mechanism to then read its genetic code of instructions which must tell it how
it needs to proceed. Proceed to do what, one might ask, since according to
evolutionists these are simply chance formations of molecules? The instruction
of DNA tells the mRNA how and what kind of protein to synthesize. Within the
limits of the material universe, the primitive ocean had no intelligence to care
anything about instructing what sequence was to be found in the DNA molecule.
All the books in the world did not happen by chance. They were created by
intelligent human beings for instruction to carry out logical purposes; but if
there was no human being on the earth, all the books in the world would be
worthless and mean nothing and would produce nothing. The existence of DNA chains,
as we are talking about here, are as worthless (more worthless because they are
random) for a purpose as the existence of books without humans to use them to
bring about a purpose. Without an intelligent creator to take DNA molecules and
apply the necessary specific energy to them to carry out a logical purpose, they
are worthless molecules floating around in a non-personal ocean of water. Also
the rate of destruction of these chance molecules is far greater than there
production for any meaningful purpose to ever happen in a chance environment.
Then there is the fact that DNA molecules in a living cell are double
stranded. Double stranded molecules floating around in a dead ocean are unstable
and rapidly deteriorate. When these experimenters produce these single strand
molecules of only about 12 random nucleotides (DNA in a living cell have
billions and billions of specific arranged nucleotides for purposeful
instruction) they are careful not to store them in water for this reason. They
seal them under nitrogen in a deep freeze, not at room temperature. Even under
these conditions the chemical bonds are unstable and slowly rupture ending any
possibility of further needed development of any kind of biological activity
which is trillions of light years away from this development.
Specific instructional energy, talked about in the next chapter, is also
needed in the cell to tell the DNA molecule what it wants to accomplished in the
cell for the building of proteins for a specific purpose and for reproduction of
the cell itself. Where did the by chance specific energy come from to take these
random molecules of DNA and use them for a specific intelligent purpose? Where
did the nucleoside phosphates required for production of DNA come from? Where
did the highly specific enzymes required come from? Twenty specific types of
enzymes are required for DNA synthesis in a living cell. To split apart a double
stranded DNA molecule requires 80-90o temperatures. This did not
exist in our primitive oceans. Assuming the oceans did reach these temperatures,
after the double-stranded molecule of DNA separated, what held these molecules
stable in these temperatures until another complementary strand could be
produced?
Next, going from simple DNA molecules to more complex DNA molecules needed
for life is an incredibly much more complex leap from what we have already
talked about. What linked the DNA molecule for protein synthesis in this
primordial soup? This requires specific amino acids to tell a specific part of
the DNA to synthesis the specific mRNA for the specifically desired protein
synthesis. This requires specific controlled energy, a supply of the pyramidine
and purine triphosphates and several enzymes. Where did the Ribosomes come from
needed to utilize this mRNA to produce the specific protein? The Ribosome
molecule itself consists of three different RNA molecules and fifty-five
different protein molecules. A specific tRNA synthetase for each amino acid
recognizes that specific amino acid and its specific tRNA and catalyzes the
union of the amino acid with its tRNA. The tRNA, with its attached amino acid,
moves to the site of protein synthesis. The tRNA locates its proper place on the
mRNA. Enzymes catalyze the union of the amino acid to the growing protein chain,
breaks the bond between the amino acid and its tRNA, releases the tRNA from the
mRNA, and eventually releases the completed protein chain.
