This demonstration shows how difficult (impossible) it would be to produce one protein in a VERY long time (20 billion years) under impossibly favorable conditions.

We will attempt to build a small protein, like the one circled in red, which we will say consists of only 200 amino acids. There are 20 kinds of amino acids. We will represent the 20 amino acids with these shapes: Amino acids are linked together to make a chain. The chain is then folded into the proper shape to make a protein.

To give evolution an advantage we will eliminate the folding step from this demonstration.

Since any one of the 20 amino acids can occupy each of the 200 positions, the number of possible combinations is 20^200. The number of possible combinations looks like this:
We'll use 20 billion years. This is generous. It is longer than the 4.6 billion years evolutionists assign to the earth. And it is longer than or the 13.7 billion years they assign to the universe.

This is the number of HUNDREDTHS of seconds in 20 billion years:

63,072,000,000,000,000,000 We need the number of atoms in the universe.

That number is: Now we need a machine to manufacture amino acid chains. We will help evolution out by providing such a machine. We will call it the Amino Machino. It puts amino acids together to make amino acid chains.
• It is fast - 100 chains per second.
• It is calibrated. Every chain has exactly 200 amino acids -
to give evolution a better chance for success.
• It is miniaturized to fit on an atom.

But which amino acid ends up in any position is totally random.
Evolution is UNDIRECTED. Now we will mass produce it, and place one Amino Machino on every atom in the universe. Let's turn on our Amino Machinos and let them run for 20 billion years.
Ready, set, go!
Tic, toc, tic, toc.
OK, time's up. How many chains we did make? But how many combinations are possible in a chain of 200 amino acids? What is the chance that one of the chains we made will work in our cell? Keep in mind, our universe has only this many atoms: So randomly manufacturing a functional protein under the most ideal conditions is impossible. Some brilliant scientists like Francis Crick and Fred Hoyle have realized that the evolution of a cell on Earth is impossible, so they postulated the concept of Panspermia - the idea that someTHING or someONE delivered the first cell from outer space. The beauty of the calculations above, is that they show that there is no place in the universe from which the first cell could have come.

Panspermia is impossible! Another hypothesis is called the Multiverse. It too is offered as a way to avoid the obvious conclusion that cells are the products of Intelligent Design. The Multiverse hypothesis suggests that there may be billions of universes similar to ours. Though the chance of life evolving in any one of them is vanishingly small, given enough universes, one universe may be the the lucky winner.

And our universe hit the jackpot! But the calculations in this demonstration show that there is also no hope in the Multiverse hypothesis.

If there were 200 billion universes similar to ours, the chance of producing a usable protein becomes one in . . . . . . which is far less than one to the number of atoms in all 199 billion imaginary universes!

The Multiverse hypothesis is impossible too!

Keep in mind . . .

We gave evolution four times the amount of time they say existed.
We gave evolution a protein-building machine that never existed.
We calibrated the machine to give evolution an unfair advantage.
We made more of these machines than could ever exist.
We skipped the folding process to make it easier on evolution.
We ignored the thousands of other proteins that must be created.
We gave evolution 199,999,999,999 more universes than actually exist.

Mathematics is an unforgiving branch of science. When an uninformed mind imagines that the impossible could be true, mathematics brings that mind back to reality.
