are four kinds of nucleotides in a DNA chain, one consisting of 1,000 links
could exist in 4 1000 forms. Using a little algebra (logarithms) we can see that
600
4 1000 =10 . Ten multiplied by itself 600 times gives the figure 1 followed by
600 zeros! This number is completely beyond our comprehension. 3

That is to say that even if we assume that all the necessary
nucleotides are present in a medium, and that all the complex molecules
and enzymes to combine them were available, the possibility of these
nucleotides being arranged in the desired sequence is 1 in 4 1000 , in other
600
words, 1 in 10 . Briefly, the probability of the coincidental formation of
the code of an average protein in the human body in DNA by itself is 1
over 1 followed by 600 zeros. This number, which is beyond even being
astronomical, means in practice "zero" probability. This means that such a
sequence has to be effected under the control and with the knowledge of
a wise and conscious power. There is zero probability of it happening by
"accident," "chance," or "coincidence."
Think of the book you
are reading right now. How
would you regard someone
who claimed that letters have
come together by chance on
their own to form this
writing? It is evident that it
was written by an intelligent
and conscious person. This is
no different from the status of
DNA.
Francis Crick, the
biochemist who discovered
the structure of DNA, won a
Nobel prize for the research
he had carried out on the
subject. Crick, who was an
Francis Crick and James Watson won the Nobel
ardent evolutionist, stated the
Prize for discovering the magnificent structure of
DNA.
