The probability of an average protein molecule made up of 500 amino
acids being arranged in the correct quantity and sequence in addition
to the probability of all of the amino acids it contains being only left-
handed and being combined with only peptide bonds is "1" over 10 950 .
We can write this number which is formed by putting
950 zeros next to 1 as follows:
10 950 =

is zero chance of its actually happening. As we saw earlier, in mathemat-
50
ics, a probability smaller than 1 in 10 is statistically considered to have a
"0" probability of occurring.
A probability of "1 over 10 950 " is far beyond the limits of this defini-
tion.
While the improbability of the formation of a protein molecule made
up of 500 amino acids reaches such an extent, we can further proceed to
push the limits of the mind with higher levels of improbability. In the
"haemoglobin" molecule, which is a vital protein, there are 574 amino acids,
which is more than the amino acids making up the protein mentioned
above. Now consider this: in only one out of the billions of red blood cells in
your body, there are "280,000,000" (280 million) haemoglobin molecules.
The supposed age of the earth is not sufficient to allow the formation
of even a single protein by a "trial and error" method, let alone that of a red
blood cell. Even if we suppose that amino acids have combined and de-
composed by a "trial and error" method without losing any time since the
formation of the earth, in order to form a single protein molecule, the time
