Your article says Douglas Theobald calculated the odds of:
Quote:The "best competing multiple ancestry hypothesis" [which] has one species giving rise to bacteria and one giving rise to Archaea and eukaryotes, said Theobald, a biochemist at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts [at 1 in 10 to the 2,680th power].Ker Than for National Geographic News Not the odds of a single cell
Read your source Luke, Read your Source. Jeeez!
Theobald was calculating the odds for evolution from more than one source of life. He wanted to test the single source of ancestry model. Where you got the "single cell" idea I can't imagine unless you didn't read or couldn't understand the article. The odds you quoted are for the two sources of life theory.
Theobald calculated the odds of a human origin separate from the rest of the animal world at: 1 in 10 to the 6,000th power.
Pretty good case for single source huh?

Fresh dinosaur soft tissues has been found! hock:
Blood vessels will not last for more than 10,000 years and finding a 80 million year old dinosaur with soft tissue left scientists scratching their heads. "We may have to think of our basic models..." says one of them.
Im sure they will eventually come up with a good little story how the soft tissue survived millions of years.
Indeed they did. Mystery solved. Last year in fact. You can read about it here: Controversial T. Rex Soft Tissue Find Finally Explained The really fun part is that we may actually get some dino DNA out of it.
