" The chances of at least 410 amino acids accidentally forming a chain to produce one protein molecule is 10123."

10123 is not a probability.

BTW, there is no reason at all to think that abiogenesis would work that way. The rules of chemistry are no random.

He probably just cut and pasted the entire block of text from a creationist website without attribution, plagarizing it and presenting it as his own work and losing the code for superscript in the process. Likely he meant 10123.

He might also have meant 10123, which we know is a rather large number (though not quite as large as 1720).

We live in a universe that supports life, where the laws of physics and chemistry are not random and appear to have lead to the origin of life. There is where I personally see the Creator, a Creator who has chosen the most elegant way possible to create life.
