1:1 x 10 40,000

No matter how large the environment one considers, life cannot have had a random
beginning. There are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all
20 2000
in a random trial is only one part in (10 ) = 10 40,000 , an outrageously small probability
that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup.

According to Joseph Mastropaolo, Ph.D. and author of Evolution is Biologically Impossible
wrote," If these raw materials could be evolved at the same time, and if they were not more complex on
average to evolve than the iso-1-cytochrome c molecule, and if these proteins were stacked at the cell's
construction site, then we may make a gross underestimation of what the chances would be to evolve
that first cell. That probability is one chance in more than 10 4,478,296 , a number that numbs the mind
because it has 4,478,296 zeros. cxxxii Life was designed. It did not evolve. The certainty of these
conclusions is 10 4,478,296 (1 followed by 4,478,296 zeros) to one. This evidence suggests a Designer who
designed and built the entire biosphere and the entire universe for it to function. cxxxiii

This is the same chance as tossing a coin one billion times in the air and getting heads every single time!
If a person tossed a coin every day for 12 hours, tossing the coin once every second, seven days a week,
it would take 63.5 years to toss a coin one billion times, and to get heads every time is not possible.

"For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have
been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse….
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles" (Romans 1:20,22-23)

Origin: Probability of a Single Protein Forming by Chance

Let’s Practice…

1. What is DNA, and why is it important for the survival of a cell?

2. How does DNA display the hand of an intelligent Creator?

3. The Laws of Probability explain to us mathematically whether something is likely to occur and, if so,
how likely that will be. What is the probability of a protein forming by chance? Write it out with zeros
(for example, 1 x 10 would be written as 1 with 19 zeros after it. That would be a very large number.
