(That is only 4000 zeroes, so imagine 10 times more zeroes…whew!)

By the way, the last set of odds was calculated by a steady-state evolutionist and mathematician, Sir Fred Hoyle.

“In his 1981 book Evolution from Space (co-authored with Chandra Wickramasinghe), he calculated that the chance of obtaining the required set of enzymes for even the simplest living cell was one in 10 to the 40,000th power (one followed by 40,000 zeroes). Since the number of atoms in the known universe is infinitesimally tiny by comparison (1080), even a whole universe full of primordial soup wouldn’t have a chance.”
