To produce just the enzymes in one organism would require more than 10^40,000 trials (d). (To begin to large 10^40,000 is, realize that the visible universe has fewer than 10^80 atoms in it.)

Since 1970, evolutionists have referred to large segments of DNA as ??junk DNA,? because it supposedly had no purpose and was left over from our evolutionary past. We now know this ??junk? explains much of the complexity of organisms. Use of the term ??junk DNA? reflected past ignorance (e).

d. ??The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in (10^20)2,000 = 10^40,000, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup. If one is not prejudiced either by social beliefs or by a scientific training into the conviction that life originated on the Earth [by chance or natural processes], this simple calculation wipes the idea entirely out of court.? Hoyle and Wickramasinghe, p. 24.

??Any theory with a probability of being correct that is larger than one part in 10^40,000 must be judged superior to random shuffling [of evolution]. The theory that life was assembled by an intelligence has, we believe, a probability vastly higher than one part in 10^40,000 of being the correct explanation of the many curious facts discussed in preceding chapters. Indeed, such a theory is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident. The reasons are psychological rather than scientific.? Ibid., p. 130.

After explaining the above to a scientific symposium, Hoyle said that evolution was comparable with the chance that ??a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.? Fred Hoyle, ??Hoyle on Evolution,? Nature, Vol. 294, 12 November 1981, p. 105.

e. ??The failure to recognize the importance of introns [so-called junk DNA] may well go down as one of the biggest mistakes in the history of molecular biology.? John S. Mattick, as quoted by W. Wayt Gibbs, ??The Unseen Genome: Gems among the Junk,? Scientific American, Vol. 289, November 2003, pp. 49??50.

??What was damned as junk because it was not understood may, in fact, turn out to be the very basis of human complexity.? Ibid., p. 52.

[color=blue][i] ??Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) [so-called junk RNA] have been found to have roles in a great variety of processes, including transcription regulation, chromosome replication, RNA processing and modification, messenger RNA stability and translation, and even protein degradation and translocation. Recent studies indicate that ncRNAs are far more abundant and important than initially imagined.? Gisela Storz, ??An Expanding Universe of Noncoding RNAs,? Science, Vol. 296, 17 May 2002, p. 1260.

??The term ??junk DNA?? is a reflection of our ignorance.? Gretchen Vogel, ??Why Sequence the Junk?? Science, Vol. 291, 16 February 2001, p. 1184.
