1 in 10 to the 40,000th power.
That is the number the evolutionist does not want you to know. I recently had a staunch evolutionist tell me “Evolution was a tested and proven theory” and “this whole debate has already been resolved.” However, when pressed for just one clear and concise piece of evidential science that proves macro-evolution…there was no answer.
Why? Because there is none. Assumptions – yes. Presuppositions – yes. Wild theories to prove there is no Creator and therefore we have no King that we will have to bow our knee to – definitely.
Everything in macro-evolution goes against laws – the Law of Conservation of Matter, the Law of Conservation of Energy, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit – “Out of Nothing Comes Nothing”
What the evolutionist desperately wants to have is ‘out of nothing, came everything.’ Just from a chemist’s standpoint (myself) – that concept goes against all the laws of nature that we have listed above – and I’m only talking about matter. However the evolutionist believes with billions of years they have explained this one away (which they really haven’t).
However they have no explanation for the information. No evolutionist would tell you that an iPod just formed over billions of years to be an iPod with apps and an information code imbedded into it. That is ridiculous. But they don’t relay that same logic to the cell and it’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) because that is an information system as well.
- 1 in 10 to the 40,000th power. Those are the chances that life could form from non-life. Let me put that in perspective…that is like rolling double-sixes on a pair of dice 50,000 times in a row (with unloaded dice of course) – you want to bet your soul on that?
- 1 in 10 to the 79th power. That is the amount of total atoms (estimated of course, I lost count a long time ago) in the known universe.
- 1 in 10 to the 67th power. Those are the chances of amino acids combining to form the necessary proteins by undirected means. That is like taking 10 to the 67th power silver dollars, painting one black, putting them in the state of Texas which would cover it well over 50 feet deep, mix it up, then pick the black one, blindfolded on the first try.
- 1 in 10 to the 50th power. Those are the chances that mathematicians generally agree that have a zero probability of every happening. Zero.
Those are numbers the evolutionist does not want the public to know. Just to give you some kind of perspective of the information alone in a cell that would have to form by random chance over time to make macro-evolution possible. One has about 50 trillion cells in the human body. Each cell has 46 DNA strands. Each DNA strand is 6 feet long but is wound up in a tiny space. If unwound and placed next to each other, your DNA would stretch from the Earth to the Moon 5 million round trips. If that DNA information code was typed out into a book, you could fill the Grand Canyon with those books over 40 times.
And that DNA is vital to each cell because it has the information used in the development and function of that cell. It is a software program for your body. And you still think you evolved from nothing…
I wouldn’t take that 1 in 10 to the 40,000th chance. I would bow my knee to the intelligent, loving, good Creator that wonderfully made each component of DNA in my whole body.
He is who deserves all our honor and praise.

These numbers are amazing. Who says atheists aren’t men of faith? 🙂
Do you have any info on how the chances of life forming from non-life is calculated? I roughly follow how the second two are calculated but I’m a little lost on this one.
Also, the wording on the 4th point is throwing me off. Is that saying that mathematicians agree that anything with a chance of 10 to the 50th is equivalent to zero? If so, I would of thought the threshold would of been lower. Good basis for comparison though (assuming I followed it correctly).
Bob, are you aware of how the 10^40,000th figure was arrived at? I could see an analytical atheist quickly asking this question.
Thanks for the post! I found it to be very helpful.
Do you have a source for the 1:10^40000 assertion? I’d love to know where that came from. Thanks.
Sir Fred Hoyle in Evolution From Space calculated that the chance of obtaining the required set of enzymes from even the simplest cell was 1 in 10 to the 40,000 power. The number of atoms in the known universe is about 10 to the 80th power, so he concluded that the chances are not very good for life to emerge out of a primordial soup. He compared the random emergence of a single cell to the likelihood of a “tornado sweeping through a junkyard and assembling a Boeing 747 from the materials.” Of course his calculations had large amounts of assumptions, but his assertion of a tornado ripping through a junkyard is pretty right on. If one wants to use natural selection as a means to prove macro-evolution, than a better comparison is a Toyota car plant continuing to tinker a Corolla to become better and better and better over time with less defects and then one day it becomes a space shuttle. Hope this helps Peter – thanks for reading and let me know if you have any more questions. Mr. A.
