Science vs. Evolution
"A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call
the practice of avoiding the conclusion that the probability
of a self-reproducing state is zero. This is what we
must conclude from classical quantum mechanical principles,
as Wigner demonstrated.
"These escape clauses [the enormous chance-occurrence
numbers cited as proof by evolutionists that it could
be done] postulate an almost infinite amount of time and
an almost infinite amount of material (monomers), so that
even the most unlikely event could have happened. This
is to invoke probability and statistical considerations
when such considerations are meaningless.
"When for practical purposes the condition of infinite
time and matter has to be invoked [in order to make
evolution succeed], the concept of probability [possibility
of its occurrence] is annulled. By such logic we
can prove anything, such as that no matter how complex,
everything will repeat itself, exactly and innumerably."—*
