The probability of an average protein molecule comprising five hun-
dred amino acids being arranged in the correct proportion and se-
quence in addition to the probability of all of the amino acids it con-
tains being only left-handed and being combined only with peptide
bonds is "1" divided by 10 950 . We can write this number, which is
formed by putting 950 zeros after 1, as follows:
10 950 =

error". The conclusion from all this is that evolution falls into a terrible
abyss of improbability right at the stage of the formation of a single pro-
tein.
Looking for Answers to the Generation of Life
Well aware of the terrible odds against the possibility of life forming
by chance, evolutionists were unable to provide a rational explanation
for their beliefs, so they set about looking for ways to demonstrate that
the odds were not so unfavourable.
They designed a number of laboratory experiments to address the
question of how life could generate itself from non-living matter. The
best known and most respected of these experiments is the one known
as the "Miller Experiment" or "Urey-Miller Experiment", which was con-
