             of all things, without thinking about what chance really is. Thus they
             assume that disorder gave rise to the first cell, upon which they base all

             their theories. However, not even the cell itself, let alone the simplest
             organism, can assemble itself by chance, in the manner assumed by ev-
             olutionists.
                  The University of London cell biologist Dr. Ambrose expresses the
             impossibility of this:
                  When we come to examine the simplest known organism capable of in-
                  dependent existence, the situation becomes even more fantastic. In the
                  DNA chain of the chromosome of the bacterium E. coli, a favourite organ-
                  ism used by molecular biologists, the [DNA] helix consists of 3-4 million

                  base pairs. These are all arranged in a sequence that is 'meaningful' in the
                  sense that it gives rise to enzyme molecules which fit the various metab-
                  olites and products used by the cell. This unique sequence represents a
                  choice of one out of 10 2,000,000 alternative ways of arranging the bases! We
                  are compelled to conclude that the origin of the first life was a unique
                  event, which cannot be discussed in terms of probability. 181
                  Mathematics proves that in the writing of the information in DNA.
             The chances of a single one of the 30,000 genes that make up DNA-let
             alone of the DNA molecule itself with its millions of rungs-forming by
             chance are less than impossible.
                  Frank B. Salisbury, an evolutionist biologist, has this to say:

                  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 little algebra we can see that
                  4 1,000=10 600. Ten multiplied by itself 600 times gives the figure 1 followed
                  by 600 zeros! This number is completely beyond our comprehension. 182
                  Therefore, even assuming that all the requisite nucleotides were
             present in the environment and that all the complex molecules and
             binding enzymes were ready for them to attach themselves to one an-
