The probability of an average protein molecule comprising five hundred
amino acids being arranged in the correct proportion and sequence in
addition to the probability of all of the amino acids it contains being only
left-handed and being combined only with peptide bonds is "1" divided
by 10950. We can write this number, which is formed by putting 950
zeros after 1, as follows:

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 ques-
tion 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 conducted by
the American researcher Stanley Miller in 1953.
With the purpose of proving that amino acids could have come into
existence by accident, Miller created an atmosphere in his laboratory that
he assumed would have existed on primordial earth (but which later
