For all you Darwinistas who still think DNA could have evolved, lets take a look at how much work is actually involved in placing 4 to the 6 billionth power of chemicals in the proper sequence and position by chance.
Macroegans love to quote the age of the earth at 4.6 billion years and life at 3 billion years. Since DNA is so incredibly complex, evolutionists speculate that early life was based on something else than DNA. I am going to make an assumption here that DNA has been around for 1.5 billion years. I can't defend this number and if you want to say 2 billion or 1 billion years, that is OK with me. Neither of us really knows and it doesn't make an iota difference what number you chose.
If you multiply 60 seconds x 24 hours x 365 days x 1,500,000,000 you arrive at 788,400,000,000,000 seconds that have elapsed since DNA appeared. If my exponential notation is correct, this rounds to 8 x 10 to the 15 power.
The random and unfocused for forces that are alleged to drive evolution must arrange 6 billion chemicals on the human DNA strand in precisely the right order and mix. There are 4 possible amino acids that can be placed at each location. So evolution has to place 4 x 10 to the 6,000,000,000,000 power of chemicals in the right slot.
My exponential notation is a little rusty and this number is way beyond the capacity of Windows calculator so try to follow this reasoning and let me know if I screw up. If I divide the total number of elapsed seconds by the number of possible locations for the amino acids I arrive at the number of "tries" evolution has to make, each second, uninterrupted, for 1.5 billion years, to try all the possible combinations.
My calculation is that each second requires 5 x 10 raised to the 5,999,999,999,985 power. That is 50 followed by a few thousand pages of zeros.
Every second.
Without interruption.
No time out for ice ages and global warming periods.
No time out for meteor strikes and extinctions and draughts.
No time off at all for 1.5 billion years.
And how exactly does evolution, which is random and unfocused, put together a DNA molecule anyway? The fastest computer NASA owns couldn't perform 5 x 10 to the 5,999,999,999,985 calculations a second virtually.
The point I am trying to make by all this math crapola is that the probability of DNA evolving are astronomically slim.
So slim as to merit no serious consideration from anyone who is truly unbiased and has half a functioning brain.
My numbers are on the table as is my challenge to find a code or language which anyone can demonstrate that arose without intelligence. If the numbers are flawed, let me know where and give me your calculation. If such a code/language exists, name it. Otherwise, maybe you Darwinistas should consider the possibility that maybe, jusy maybe, ID is a possibility.
