The actual possibility of One strand of DNA being created is 1 to 10 to the 86th power that is: 1/100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And, That is for only one strand.
Imagine a human that would be like 1 to 10 to the 34625683456827346587346531465 8163487561875461834568176345
Thus beliving science takes a lot more faith.
Another example is if you smash, Lets say a clock, or pocket-watch, and then shake it around in a bag for about 1000 billion years, Will you end up with a clock?
I think not.
According to what we know and theorize about the universe to date, there are an incomprehensible multitude of galaxies, each with billions of stars and with those stars, even more planets. Despite how unlikely it may appear, eventually all of the needed conditions will add up and life can exist somewhere in the universe.
It may seem "lucky" that we are to exist on one of the planets with life, but really it couldn't happen any other way. We exist
because the planet provides a suitable environment for the species that inhabit it.
On the subject of the first forms of life, it is believed that a process known as
Abiogenesis occurred. Essentially, under the correct conditions, inanimate matter comes together to form the building blocks of life. Once the basics are established, natural selection takes care of the rest.
The clock example is logically flawed. Perhaps a
video is needed?
You can't use the Bible as proof of the existence of a god, just as I can't use The Origin of the Species to prove that Darwin was right. There is nothing in either book to suggest that any unworldly power was at work in their creation; any man could have written the words on those pages. Only through careful observation, experimentation and sound reasoning can an accurate conclusion be reached.
I personally feel there is just as much beauty, pride and satisfaction to had in knowing that our existence, the existence of everything we take for granted, is the result of an infinite number of coincidences.
Inventing a creator to answer our questions and abate our fears is a rather futile exercise as it merely raises more questions and doubts. Assuming there is a god, then we must ask where did he come from?, how did he begin to exist?, what is his purpose or motivation? Claiming that these are just things we aren't meant to know is counterproductive and evasive.
