• Sir Fred Hoyle is one of Britain’s most famous astrophysicists. He and his colleague, Chandra Wickramasinghe, professor of applied mathematics and astronomy at University College, Cardiff, Wales, computed the odds for all the proteins necessary for life to form by chance in one place, as scientists assume happened on earth.

 

  • The odds, they determined, were one chance in 10 to the power of 40,000—the number 1 followed by 40,000 zeroes (enough zeroes to fill about seven or more A4 pages). To put that number in perspective, there are only about 10 to the power of 80 subatomic particles in the entire visible universe. A probability of less than 1 in 10 to the power of 50 is considered by mathematicians to be a complete impossibility.

 

The possibility of life arising according to the traditional scientific scenario, they concluded, is “an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup” (Evolution From Space, 1981, p. 24). Professor Hoyle concludes that “life could not have originated here on the Earth.
