Probability

As we have already seen, the law of Biogenesis proves that evolution is not possible. And the complete lack of fossil evidence supports that conclusion.

Another fact that led me to reject evolution was the Law of Probability., which also shows the impossibility of life rising from non-life. 

According to Distinguished  British astronomer Sir Frederick Hoyle, the number of trial assemblies of amino acids needed to give rise 
to the enzymes needed for life, and their 
discovery by random shuffling turns out to be less than 1 in 1 X 1040,000.  Just to give you an idea how astronomical this number is , one trillion is only 1012 .  And it is estimated that there are only  1080  electrons in the entire universe! So, 1040,000 of anything is almost impossible even to imagine.

Mathematicians say that any event in which the chances are beyond one in 1050  is impossible. It is an event that we can state with certainty will never happen, no matter how much time is allotted and no matter what conceivable opportunities could exist for the event to take place.

Recall that Hoyle said the probability of an enzyme arising spontaneously was less than one in 1040,000, - which is an incredibly lesser probability than the 1 in 1050  that makes an event impossible.

Dr Harold Morowitz, former professor of biophysics, at Yale University, estimated that the probability for the chance formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known, is one chance in 10340,000,000.

 And the famous astronomer and evolutionist Carl Sagan, 
estimated that the chance of life evolving on any single planet, including Earth, is one chance in 102,000,000,000.


Do you realise how huge that number is? It would take 6,000 books with 300 pages each just to write this number out . So, if ever anything were impossible, spontaneous generation would have to be it. 

According to the Law of Probability then, the odds of life arising from non-life are far beyond the realm of possibility . And that is just for a single molecule to come to life. How would you explain the complexity of life forms or the formation of the extremely detailed DNA code? 

Human DNA, for example, contains three billion pieces of information - literally tens of thousands of pages worth. Did that information develop and  evolve  one page at a time ? 

How could undirected ,   random chance have
created complex 
information such as       this?  

It boggles the mind to think about it. It certainly does not indicate chance but rather design.

A man once posed this question to me: If you lined up a computer, a robot, a 474 Jet, and a lowly worm, which one would a scientist say was the most intricately designed of those  four?  

I thought it would be the worm. He told me I was right, and that is also what scientists say. When you examine the function of  a digestive system, or any least physical system, you begin to appreciate the highly ordered inner workings of that system. 

We know for a fact, that the computer had a creator and designer; we know the robot had a creator and designer;  we know that the 747 Jet had a creator and designer; but somehow we think the worm happened by  luck and by chance over time? That just doesn't make sense.

 If the inanimate objects needed a creator and a designer, not only would the complex living, self -replicating worm have to have had a creator and designer, but it would have to had a much greater Creator and Designer than those inanimate objects.  And if this  is true even of the "simple" worm, imagine what it would take for something as amazingly complex as the human brain to form.

Even Carl Sagan admits :  "The information content of the human brain expressed in bits is probably comparable to  the total number of connections among neurons - about a hundred trillion, 10" bits. If written out in English, that information would fill  some twenty million volumes - as many as in the world's largest libraries. The equivalent of twenty million books is inside the head of every one of us. The brain is a very big place in a very small space.... The neurochemistry of the brain is astonishingly busy , the circuitry of a machine more wonderful than any devised by humans."

If humans cannot devise something as astonishing as the brain, Who can  -  and Who did?

World renowned crusader for Darwinism , Professor Richard  Dawkins states;

" We have seen that living things are too improbable and too beautifully "designed " to have come into existence by chance."
