"Based on probability factors . . any viable DNA strand
having over 84 nucleotides cannot be the result of haphazard
mutations. At that stage, the probabilities are 1
in 4.8 x 10 50 . Such a number, if written out, would read:

480,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

"Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond
10 50 has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence
(and even that gives it the 'benefit of the doubt').
Any species known to us, including 'the smallest singlecell
bacteria,' have enormously larger numbers of nucleotides
than 100 or 1000. In fact, single cell bacteria display
about 3,000,000 nucleotides, aligned in a very specific
sequence. This means, that there is no mathematical
probability whatever for any known species to have
been the product of a random occurrence—random mutations
(to use the evolutionist's favorite expression)."—
