Moving on to two more ‘dummies’ who don’t quite understand random evolution: Sir Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasinghe. They won impressive awards and honors that could fill half a page. Oh and they were also atheists. But they’re like so many others, just ‘too dumb’ to get it.

Quote: Hoyle ran the numbers to determine the mathematical probability of the basic enzymes of life arising by random processes. They concluded that the odds were 1 to 1 followed by 40,000 zeroes, or “so utterly minuscule “ as to make Darwin’s theory of evolution absurd.

life was planted here by highly evolved aliens

The number crunching is fine, but it's the wrong problem. Evolution isn't random and proteins don't assemble by random processes.

Evolution is equivalent to playing in a casino where you collect your winnings but don't have to pay your losses. The roll of the dice may remain random, but the outcome is not.
