STATISTICAL EVIDENCE FOR GOD
By its nature, statistical proof is not 100% certain but is highly reliable. In physics, reliability or proof is certain if proved to exceed 1 chance of non-occurrence in 10 to the 50th power. Essentially, anything beyond 1 in 1050 is considered impossible or absurd.
COMPLEXITY OF A SINGLE LIVING CELL
A single reproductive cell is more complex structurally than the most advanced factory in the world. You cannot truly understand the complexity of a living cell until you understand its parts.
DNA asks as the master computer of the cell. DNA dictates all actions of the cell. One chain of DNA can often contain billions of parts. If you lay out a human DNA chain strait, it would stretch beyond the limits of the solar system. (Lee Spetner, Not by Chance—Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution (Brooklyn, NY: Judaica Press, 1998), p. 30.) DNA is what separates a human from a snake.
DNA does an incredible number of things within a fraction of a second, managing information beyond our comprehension. In a human cell, there are 147.2 billion base pairs of information in one small cell. Inside each DNA strand are also genes, or groupings within. Current estimates include about 30 – 40 thousand possible variations, plus more splicing alternatives.
Keeping with our factory scheme, the possible combinations of DNA information on the production floors (the ribosomes) are virtually endless.
RNA is the substance that carries out the instructions of the DNA. The easiest way to think of RNA is a reverse copy of DNA.
The nucleus is the computer control room where the DNA is located. This is where information is transferred from DNA to RNA.
Ribosomes is where the RNA receives its instructions and various types of protein are manufactured depending on the RNA code. In a single cell, there may be many ribosomes producing a vast number of different proteins. A human body, for example, requires thousands of different types of proteins.
Mitochondria provide the energy for the cell. One cell can contain hundreds of these in order to produce the energy it needs to live.
Lysosomes process and eliminate the destructive waste products within the cell.
Endoplasmic Reticulum is the transportation network in the cytoplasm that moves molecules to specific final destinations.
Golgi Apparatus takes certain molecules and packages them into sacs to be targeted to various locations in the cell, or even distributed outside the cell.
Enzymes dramatically speed up certain activities of the cell. Some regulatory proteins, in a sense, turn genes “on” or “off” permitting RNA replication or not. Many other functions are also accomplished by certain proteins, including operation of the cell’s built in “proof reading system.” Without this, a cell might have a DNA-copy error rate of 1 in 10,000. Thanks to this system, the error copy rate is only one in a billion to one in a hundred billion. (Lee Spetner, Not by Chance—Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution (Brooklyn, NY: Judaica Press, 1998), p. 39.)
Finally, Cytoskeleton are the walls and scaffolding inside the cell. These walls can change and adapt in many ways, based on DNA instruction.
I have just scratched the surface of a single living cell. The sheer complexity in even a simplified cell structure with its billions of parts would be beyond ridiculous to randomly come together in just the right way, at just the right time. This is just the first step of naturalistic evolution. If we consider the human body, with 75 trillion cells, with about 210 cell types (Gerald L. Schroeder, The Hidden Face of God: How Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth (New York: The Free Press, 2001), p. 189.).
-How would a correct individual component know when to arrive?
-How would all the components know to assemble properly?
-How would the cell’s surface know to somehow cover the cell to protect it, allowing it to work?
-How would something of such complexity all happen at once?
-Where would the information as to how all the cell components should work come from in the first place?
-What would initially energize life?
Some books allude to some potential answers to some of these, but there are no real answers for them out there.
When you dig in further into molecular biology and what is considered by most to be required for first life, you see that is it beyond impossible. Take Chirality, for instance. These are molecules that are “handed.” For first life to be properly assembled, you must have the perfect mix of both proper nucleotide orientation (all right-handed) and amino-acid orientation (all left-handed). This is just one molecule within a DNA chain. DNA chains are very long.
To create first life, not only would all the hundreds of thousands of the right kinds of amino acids in the hundred-plus functional proteins required for the first cell must suddenly show up at exactly the right place, at exactly the right time, but they would have to be left-handed. The same would be true for the first DNA and RNA chains, except that they would all need to be right-handed.
Even before doing any calculations you can see how vast the difficulty would be for this to happen by random chance. The probability of assembling the 10,000 amino acids and 100,000 nucleotides is 1 chance in 10 to 33,113 power which makes it beyond a scientific impossibility.
Taking the common evolutionary time and matter into consideration, the maximum number of interactions since the beginning of time would be 1 in 10 to the 121 power. Divide this number of possible interactions by the estimated probability of random chance beginning life, and the resulting figure is inconceivably small, so small that any reasonable mathematician or scientist would tell you it is just plain zero. #EvidenceforGod #StatisticalEvidence
