While many outside origin-of-life biology may still invoke
"chance" as a casual explanation for the origin of biological infor-
mation, few serious researchers still do. Since molecular biologists
began to appreciate the sequence specificity of proteins and nucle-
ic acids in the 1950s and 1960s, many calculations have been made
to determine the probability of formulating functional proteins
and nucleic acids. Even assuming extremely favorable prebiotic
conditions (whether realistic or not) and theoretically maximal
reaction rates, such calculations have invariably shown that the
probability of obtaining functionally sequenced biomacromole-
cules at random is, in Ilya Prigogine's words, "vanishingly small
. . . even on the scale of billions of years. . . " 187

Despite being well aware of these impossibilities, ev-
olutionists still hold out in the face of the facts. The truth is
that the complexity and perfection in DNA's structure can
be explained only by the existence of a Creator pos-
sessed of sublime knowledge and intellect-our
Almighty Lord.
One verse of the Qur'an states:
Do not mix up truth with falsehood and know-
ingly hide the truth. (Surat al-Baqara, 42)
