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-
