How Biogenesis Defines The Existence of a Creator

Salaam...today's topic is a bit formal and empiric. Before I dub the canvas, let me express my utter sorry for any misunderstanding, mistakes, misquoting and misconception that I put inside this article/entry. Hope *inshaAllah*, we can something beneficial out of it.

In 1953, there were this two young scientist whom rejected the existence of a Creator in the scientific study they were having. The atheistic ideology started when humans started to question the beginning of life, or the source of life. These two enthusiastic men believe that life cab come from chemistry, that is, random chances. An experiment was conducted.


Miller-Urey Experiment

Yes, readers... that two men were Dr Stanley Miller and Dr Harold Urey. They held a series of experiment, to show that amino acids (which is, the block of cell) can happened randomly without the need of "divine intervention". They mixed all elements (most probable) during the earliest hour of Earth's age, that is;O2, H2O, CH4, NH3 and electric discharge to create an atmosphere similar to the one that the Proto-Earth  had. And later, turned successful. They have produced blocks of amino acids and that finding was published on news, entitled, 'Life in Test Tube'. Athestic community mocked Believers and fellow Theists.

But later, they faced more questions than answer. Instead of trying to weaken the Creationism, they strengthened the ideology that a Supreme Mind did create this Universe. The Miller-Urey turned to be the most paradoxical atheistic theory.


Why? What happened?

Because life never spring out of that test tube they were using. It has amino acids (basic blocks of protein) yes, but they lack the knowledge to distinguish between the "basic blocks of  protein/cells", with the basic blocks of life". Miller-Urey's oddity was left unanswered.


Chirality VS Evolution

Chirality as we know refers to condition of which molecules experience handedness. If you were to see two molecules' chirality, it has the same idea with your hands; left and right. They may look the same, with similar number of atoms, but are different in some terms of structure (a mirror image). This molecules' attribute had utterly shattered the claim that life could exist from random chemical process.

A chiral (molecules in chirality) can exist as only one of the two possible combinations; left handedness or right handedness. This combination is what proteins and deoxyribo nucleic acids their respective three-dimensional shapes. Without chirality, biochemical functions cannot be conducted. And take note: all amino
acids within our body cells have a common chirality.

In Miller-Urey experiment, there was not even a single chirality and this destroyed the hope of finding a speck of life in that test tube. By far, there is not even a single random process of chemistry that involves molecules could create chirality, given in an infinite time. Dr Charles McCombs, a PhD in organic chemistry who is also a holder for twenty patents in chemistry have been reportedly saying;
"The fact that chirality was missing in those amino acids is not just a problem to be debated, it points to catastrophic failure that life cannot exist from chemicals by natural processes"

What problems does the lack of chirality give out?

As I have just stated earlier, chirality gives DNAs their three-dimensional shape. DNA becomes double helix because its components have common chirality. The commonness prevents irregular shape and gives out a beautiful arrangement of molecules. Had one unit of DNA possesses the wrong type of chirality, DNA will fatally lost its double helix shape and will not function well.

In a larger scale, all molecules must have the same right-handedness configuration, without any error to support evolution and that is just for one nucleotide. What about the other billions of nucleotides? Remember, in order to work, they MUST be a right-handedness wholly, at the very same time. How can atheistic scientists answer this, then?

There was a popular answer pointed by them which turned to be supremely ironic and laughable;

|   "Chirality exists via unknown process long time ago"

Now, who is superstitious?
