    bytee I assume you may have done a little research into the first few pecoseconds in the begining of the universe. Jaw dropping odds even if you cull the 50 most important events down to 30, the lowest need of precision of any of these events the number is mind numbing in its size.

    Now if I can be so bold to move forward several billion years and not take into account the numerous miracles that would have had to sequentially occur.....(blind faith)...to the time of prelife that the atheists or evolutionists like to call the primordial soup.

    Chandra Wickramasinghe is a professor of applied Mathematics at Cardiff Uni in Wales. He was born in Sri Lanka and is a practising Buddhist. As you are probably aware buddism is not a theistic religion. I tried to find a non christian source but they tend to be the most readily found and informative but i will let the good buddhist professor explain to you that Atheism may be slightly more unlikely than leprachauns.


    ¦Hoyle and Wickramasinghe:

    "Life cannot have had a random beginning The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in (10 to the 20th) to the 2,000th = 10 to the 40,000th, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup.

    If one is not prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into the conviction that life originated on the Earth, this simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court. The enormous information content of even the simplest living systems cannot in our view be generated by what are often called “natural” processes For life to have originated on the Earth it would be necessary that quite explicit instruction should have been provided for its assembly. There is no way in which we can expect to avoid the need for information, no way in which we can simply get by with a bigger and better organic soup, as we ourselves hoped might be possible a year or two ago."

    Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe, “Where Microbes Boldly Went,” New Scientist 91, 1981, pp. 412-15.


    The thing to note is just this one fact about life, the enzymes that are in us, think about the probability

    Precious little in the way of biochemical evolution could have happened on the earth. If one counts the number of trial assemblies of amino acids that are needed to give rise to the enzymes, the probability of their discovery by random shufflings turns out to be less than one in ten to the 40 thousand

    Chandra goes on to say that even if the whole universe let alone earth was a primordial soup composed of organic compounds that it still would not be plausible. Why??

    Because these numbers are bigger than the measured universe can handle, Emile Borel can fill you in.

    If anything is ten to the 50th power or less chance, it will never happen, even cosmically, in the whole universe

    Emile Borel, Nobel Prize Winner, Probabilities and Life (New York: Dover, 1962) ch. 1-3


    Hows that leprachaun looking now, more likely than atheism.

    Remember we are talking about the odds in very specific times only the first few pecoseconds and then life coming from non life. There is an absolute cosmic truck load that still had to have come up lucky on the galactic roulette wheel before we got to the Campbells you beut AtheisticDarwinian Soup in an illogical can.
