One more belief system of our time is the notion that the construction plan for animals and plants are contained in the genetic code. This code is complex and the number of possible variations enormous. Could it be that a code like that has developed at random? A simple look at the numbers shows that this is totally impossible. If for example a monkey would sit before a type-writer and bang one key every second, it would need 17 millions years in order to write a word containing twelve letters. For the random development of a single molecule of protein 10.130 years would be needed since creation. The probability for the random development of a single sentence with 100 letters is so low that the chances against it exceed the amount of atoms in our universe. The time that is supposed to have passed since the Big Bang is simply not enough for the development of the highly differentiated organisms existing today. Continue Reading »
