This 1964 article is a critique of biochemical evolution, arguing that the theory lacks sufficient evidence and relies heavily on speculation. The author, a biochemist, challenges key experiments often cited as supporting evidence, such as the Miller-Urey experiment, highlighting the questionable nature of the assumed early Earth atmosphere. He further emphasizes the insurmountable complexity of spontaneously generating essential biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids, emphasizing the lack of plausible mechanisms for transitioning from simple organic compounds to the highly ordered systems found in cells. Ultimately, the author contends that the current scientific understanding points away from abiogenesis, favoring instead a divinely created origin of life.
