Abiogenesis is impossible
To prove that all life forms came to be without God, evolutionary theory must show that atoms somehow formed into some form of life and then evolved upward to mankind.
That first part of that, abiogenesis, is impossible. Also whatever that first creature was, it will not evolve upward to the first living cell.
So some evolutionists came up with a scheme to hide all that impossibility. They said that evolution does not include abiogenesis (life from non-life) and that abiogenesis is a separate topic.
So they take the atoms to mankind task and divide it into separate pieces. But the 2 pieces do not add up to the whole task, thus hiding the impossible parts by leaving them out of both pieces.
Now if you honestly divide the atoms to mankind task into 2 pieces, you have atoms to the first living creature in the first part, and the same first living creature evolving upward up to mankind in the second part. But that is not what evolutionists do. They take abiogenesis and make the first living thing as small as possible. (BTW - even that can be proven false) and start with a much larger and advanced creature for the second part. That gap is a great deception. That tiny little theorized first thing (which they still do not state what it is) could never cross that gap and evolve to the more advanced creature.
The conundrum is if the first living creature is too small and primitive, then it could not even survive, reproduce, and evolve up to an RNA or DNA based creature.
But if the first living creature is advanced, then the already impossible odds against abiogenesis become so mind-boggling against it.
To calculate the odds against abiogenesis is difficult. But one technique is to underestimate the odds against. That will set a lower bound for the odds.
First living thing is protein based
Assume a first living thing composed of just amino acids formed into proteins. Now to survive, it would require a number of different types of proteins and multiples of each. Assume 20 different types of proteins, with about 50 of each, and about 100 amino acids per protein. That means there are 100,000 amino acids. This would be a very primitive first creature. It may not even be able to survive. It would be extremely likely that it could reproduce.
There are 20 different types of amino acids in living things and 19 of them can be left and right handed, so there are 39 different possibilities for each amino acid. Therefore there are 39^100,000 or 10^160,000 combinations. It has never been observed that amino acids on their own ever would form any such long chains with all of the other atoms molecules needed in place. Therefore the odds are infinitely against this first creature. But just to help, assume that for every tiniest point throughout the entire universe (a cube with side length equal to a Plank length) and for every smallest fraction of time (the time it takes light to travel a Plank length) for all the supposed 12 billion years of the universe, a combination of 100,000 amino acids formed. That gives 10^250 possibilities. So the odds against this primitive first creature is 10^159,750 to one. Those odds are so mind boggling against that this indeed would be a miracle of miracles. I did not even consider the many millions of other atoms that must be in place when this creature forms. Taking that into account, the odds become even more preposterous against. Of course the odds are actually infinitely against as stated above.
Now even if the creature formed, it would not survive. Also how would such a creature reproduce? So it does not even lead anywhere.
Now could this first creature ever evolve upward to RNA through natural selection? The answer is no. The reason is that until all of the proteins are in place to use RNA, RNA provides no survival advantages. In fact, if the creature tries to rely on the incomplete RNA system, it would die. Natural selection prevents such a complex system from even being attempted.
In fact the 2nd, 3rd, 4th … creatures leading up to the first cell would all be miracles of miracles. Therefore, there would be a multitude of miracles of miracles, one after another, in an exact sequence and exact manner as if directed by a super intelligence to get to the first cell. The total odds against are probably infinite, but are at least 10^1,000,000,000 to one. If written out in long form, those odds would fill 300 books the size of the Bible. If the universe were a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times older and the universe were a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion times a trillion larger in volume, the odds would be take about 1/3 of a page less to write out.
An even smaller first living creature does not help. It just increases the number of intermediate creatures up to the first cell. That increases the total number of miracles of miracles. But the total odds against do not decrease.
First living thing is RNA and protein based
Now for the first living thing to be RNA based, the creature would be much more complex. Such a creature would have an RNA code of at least 500,000 nucleotides. It would contain at least 1000 different proteins types, with at least a million total individual proteins. That would be about 100 million amino acid base pairs. The total number of atoms in such a creature would be greater than 1 billion.
Further complications arise for such a first creature. The RNA code must match the 1000 proteins that exist in the first creature. The proteins must be all in place and functional at the start. The entire RNA to protein system must be complete with all of the proteins to run it in existing and in place.
Obviously, this creature could never have just popped into existence. So the odds against this creature are probably infinite. But at least for a lower bound, the odds against such a creature are at least 10^1,000,000,000 to one.
Now could this first creature ever evolve upward to DNA based through natural selection? The answer is no. The reason is that until all of the proteins are in place to use DNA, DNA provides no survival advantages. In fact, if the creature tries to rely on the incomplete DNA system, it would die. So there would still be miracles of miracles still needed to get to the first DNA based cell.
An even smaller first living RNA based creature does not help. It just increases the number of intermediate creatures up to the first cell. That increases the total number of miracles of miracles. But the total odds against do not decrease.
First living thing is DNA based
Now for the first living thing to be DNA based, the creature would be much more complex. Such a creature would have a DNA code of at least 500,000 nucleotides. It would contain at least 1000 different proteins types, with at least a million total individual proteins. That would be about 100 million amino acid base pairs. The total number of atoms in such a creature would be greater than 1 billion.
Further complications arise for such a first creature. The DNA code must match the 1000 proteins that exist in the first creature. The proteins must be all in place and functional at the start. Both the entire DNA to RNA system and the RNA to protein system must be complete with all of the proteins to run it in existing and in place.
Obviously, this creature could never have just popped into existence. So the odds against this creature are probably infinite. But at least for a lower bound, the odds against such a creature are at least 10^2,000,000,000 to one.
Another problem is that RNA based creatures exist. So it will take another miracle of miracles for that creature to evolve from a DNA based creature. Natural selection again does not help. The RNA only system would have to complete for the switch to RNA only to work. But the RNA system cannot be tried by natural selection without causing death until it works. Natural selection then selects any attempt at this and relegates it for failure.
An even smaller first living DNA based creature does not help. It just increases the number of intermediate creatures up to the first cell. That increases the total number of miracles of miracles. But the total odds against do not decrease.
First living thing not based on proteins, RNA, or DNA
Again the odds against such a first creature will still be vast if not impossible. A multitude of miracles of miracles would be required to develop protein, RNA, and DNA creatures. This may actually be more far-fetched than any of the other 3 options.
Abiogensis is false
So no matter where it starts, abiogensis requires a multitude of miracles of miracles to get to the first cell. The odds against, if not infinite, are too mind boggling to even comprehend.
The odd against the atoms to mankind theory are much higher than those for abiogenesis. It can be shown that all the species that would be produced by upward evolution require miracles of miracles.
So for atheistic origin science a vast multitude of miracles of miracles must occur, one after another, in an exact sequence, in an exact manner as if directed by a super intelligence.
For creation, only 1 miraculous person is needed. Everything else becomes simple.
