I just took notes on a recording of a lecture I just heard. Try to read this entire email - it's a little long-winded, but very interesting... at least to me.
First, let's start by taking a quick look at skin... one piece of skin, the size of a postage stamp (or your thumb print), contains:
1 yard (3 feet) of blood vessels
4 yards (12 feet) of nerves
100 sweat glands
15 oil glands
25 nerve glands
3,000,000 "simple" cells
The platform for all forms of life is known as the basic building block of life that we know as - the "simple" cell. Let's take a look at just ONE of those simple cells. Don't forget, there are 3,000,000 - that's three million cells in one piece of skin the size of your thumb print.
ONE "simple" cell is made up of 239 protein molecules. ONE protein molecule is made up of 445 different amino acids. Each one of these 445 different amino acids must be placed in a specific, perfect order to form ONE protein molecule - if they are not in the EXACT order needed, the protein molecule will not work (don't forget - we need 239 protein molecules to form one cell).
How do these amino acids know how to get into that specific order? Each cell contains an "instruction booklet", or a "blueprint" that we know as DNA.
DNA contains the information that tells each amino acid how to line up in a specific, perfect order so that ONE protein molecule can be formed: of which, we need 239 protein molecules to form ONE cell: of which, a postage stamp sized piece of skin needs 3,000,000 cells to exist.
Most of us have seen pictures of the spiraling strands of DNA. Each strand contains 4 billion bits of information!! To put this in perspective: it would take a typist, who could type 6000 words per minute, 40 hours of continuous non-stop typing to enter 4 billion bits of information. Not only that, but that typist is not allowed to make ONE error - or the DNA strand would not work!
But... guess what? It gets even more difficult!! DNA speaks a different language than amino acids! It cannot communicate with the amino acids in order to tell them how to line up! Each living cell also contains RNA.
RNA is bi-lingual - it can communicate with both DNA and the amino acids. RNA makes a copy of the information contained in the DNA and then relays that to the amino acids in order to get them lined up in just the right order to form one protein molecule! So now picture if you will - another typist has to come along and type those 4 billion bits of information AND has to translate them from one language to another!! With ZERO errors!
AND... if that's not convincing enough...
do you know what the odds of ONE protein molecule SELF-organizing are?! 1 in 10 to 321st power. That's 10 followed by 320 zero's! That's the odds of just ONE protein molecule self-organizing - NOT the odds of 239 protein molecules needed to form ONE living cell.
There are not even enough fundamental particles in the entire universe that could be used to illustrate those odds! It's estimated that there are only 10 to the 134th power of fundamental particles in the entire universe.
But wait! There's more...!
The most ardent evolutionists claim that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Which is approximately equivalent to 10 to the 18th power seconds.
In order to "self-organize" one protein molecule - do you know how many years it would take to run ALL of the possible combinations if that one molecule were to try and self organize? Let me tell you - 10 to the 234th power BILLION years. How old is the universe again? According to Evolutionists? Only a MERE 4.5 billion years. Don't forget - we're not talking about organizing the 239 protein molecules to form the cell yet - we're talking about the 449 amino acids needed in the right order to form one protein molecule!!
So... what do all these numbers mean?! If a different combination was run once per/second, the earth isn't even old enough to run all of the combinations required to form ONE protein molecule!!!... of which we need 239 to form ONE LIVING "SIMPLE" CELL!!! The odds of ONE living simple cell SELF-organizing are 1 in 10 to the 137,915th power... yeah, you read that right! That's a 10 followed by 137,914 zero's.
Give me a break! How can ANYONE feel good about justifying those kinds of odds when considering the creation of this complicated universe we live in?! Remember those 3 MILLION cells in just one postage stamp sized piece of skin?!
How can anyone, in their right mind, even consider the "big bang" theory - OR, "Yeah, really - we're all here by "just the right circumstances" as chance would have it." So the next time someone asks me if I believe in creation - I'm gonna tell them it's a lot easier to believe than the outside chance of all of the universe being exploded into one living cell, of which we all evolved!!! I like the odds of there being a supreme being much better!
Not only do I believe God created the entire universe in six days, like He said... I believe He could've done it in less than 6 seconds if He wanted to!! So don't look at me like I'M the crazy one for believing in God - maybe you should be chuckling at those who try to defend evolution?
