Dears
Ignore the galaxies
Forget the universe
Please listen carefully
Let mathematics speak
For an “average sized” single protein
To form by chance
From a soup of amino acids
The probability is:
Not one in a million
Not one in a billion
Not one in a trillion
Not even one in zillion
Not one in zillion… zillion… zillion
Zillion… zillion… zillion
And I don’t even know what zillion is
The probability is:
One in 10ⁿ
(Where n=300 )
In mathematics
If the probability is < one in 10ⁿ
(Where n=150 )
It is accepted as a zero probability
But wait
This is not the end of the story
That is only just one humble protein
If we explore more:
One of the smallest bacteria ever discovered
Has 600 proteins
What about human cell?
Nucleic acids
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Vitamins
Electrolytes
And much much more
Not to mention RNA or DNA
All arranged in specific order
Complex structure
Harmonious function
Intricate proportions
Exquisite design
Don’t you think
Saying such perfection is accidental
Is a little bit OTT
How many chance, upon chance, upon chance
Could “science” rely upon
Or use as an excuse
To explain away the mastery of this mystery, we call Life
“Chance” is not an explanation to how
“Chance” is not an answer to why
This is not “chance”
This is BNO
Be in Awe
