James Tour :
“The transformation of an ensemble of appropriately chosen biological
monomers (e.g. amino acids, nucleotides) into a primitive living cell
capable of further evolution appears to *require overcoming an information
hurdle of superastronomical proportions, an event that could not have
happened within the time frame of the Earth except, we believe, as a
miracle*
Professor Harold Morowitz shows the Origin of Life ‘problem’ escalates
dramatically over this 1 in 10^40,000 figure when working from a
thermodynamic perspective:
“The probability for the chance of formation of the smallest, simplest form
of living organism known is 1 in 10^340,000,000. This number is 10 to the
340 millionth power! The size of this figure is truly staggering since
there is only supposed to be approximately 10^80 (10 to the 80th power)
electrons in the whole universe!”
