The primary reason why the theory of evolution ended up in
such a great impasse regarding the origin of life is that even those
living organisms deemed to be the simplest have incredibly com-
plex structures. The cell of a living thing is more complex than all of
our man-made technological products. Today, even in the most de-
veloped laboratories of the world, a living cell cannot be produced
by bringing organic chemicals together.
The conditions required for the formation of a cell are too great
in quantity to be explained away by coincidences. The probability of
proteins, the building blocks of a cell, being synthesized coinciden-
tally, is 1 in 10 950 for an average protein made up of 500 amino acids.

In mathematics, a probability smaller than 1 over 10 is considered
to be impossible in practical terms.
