UNDER NATURAL CONDITIONS, DNA CANNOT
POSSIBLY FORM BY CHANCE

Considering that there are 200,000 genes in the human
body, it is just impossible that the millions of nucleotides form-

ing these genes should line up accidentally, in the right se-
quence. Evolutionist biologist Frank Salisbury points out these
impossibilities:
A medium protein might include about 300 amino acids. The
DNA gene controlling this would have about 1,000 nucleotides in
its chain. Since there are four kinds of nucleotides in a DNA chain,
one consisting of 1,000 links could exist in 4 1,000 forms. Using a lit-
600
tle algebra (logarithms) we can see that 4 1,000 =10 . Ten multiplied
by itself 600 times gives the figure 1 followed by 600 zeros! This
number is completely beyond our comprehension. 61
620
A “small algorithmic” calculation of 1 in 4 1,000 means 10 .
This is a number with 620 zeros after the 1. When eleven zeros
after ten express one trillion, it is hardly comprehensible what a
number with 620 zeroes means. Paul Auger, the French evolu-
tionist and scientist expresses the impossibility of any coinci-
dental accumulation of nucleotides to create the RNA and DNA:
We have to sharply distinguish the two stages in the chance for-
mation of complex molecules such as nucleotides by chemical
events. The production of nucleotides one by one—which is pos-
sible—and the combination of these within very special se-
quences. The second is absolutely impossible. 62

Stanley Miller and Francis Crick from California University,
