"This means 1 x 10 89190 DNA molecules, on the average,
must form to provide the one chance of forming the
specific DNA sequence necessary to code the 124 proteins.
10 89190 DNAs would weigh 10 89147 times more than
the earth, and would certainly be sufficient to fill the
universe many times over. It is estimated that the total
amount of DNA necessary to code 100 billion people
could be contained in ½ of an aspirin tablet. Surely 10 89147
times the weight of the earth in DNAs is a stupendous
amount and emphasizes how remote the chance is to form
the one DNA molecule. A quantity of DNA this colossal
could never have formed."—R.L. Wysong, The Creation-
Evolution Controversy, p. 115.
