What is evidence of the theory of creation?

Answer 1

Source: Meyer, Stephen C. "DNA by Design." Lecture.There are twenty possible protein-forming amino acids. To get a chain of amino acids merely ten sites long, it is 20^10 or 10,000,000,000,000 possible combinations. However, some of the shortest proteins are 150 sites long, with most actually being 3-400. That means that for a tiny strand of only 150 sites, your possible combinations are 20^150 or 10^195! There are only 10^80 elementary particles (protons, neutrons, electrons) in the whole universe! How likely is it that we ever get a complete protein to arise by chance, given all the amino acids interacting in the pre-biotic soup given billions of years? According to Doug Axe, the functional sequences of amino acids as compared to all the possible sequences of amino acids are 1 to 10^74. Between each of these amino acids, there is a type of bond called a peptide bond. In nature, only half of the bonds that form between amino acids are peptide bonds. For the entire strand (149 bonds, rounded up to 150 to make a round number), that leads up to a probability of 10^45. Also, when you're building a protein, amino acids come in two types of optical isomers; left-handed and right-handed. The left-handed version is the only type that can be used in building amino acids. At 150 amino acids, that means we have another 10^45 chance. Putting these together, that means to form a functional protein by chance, we have a total probability of 1 in 10^164. There have only been 10^16 seconds since the big bang, there have only been 10^139 events happen since the beginning of the universe, and once again, there are only 10^80 elementary particles in the universe. However, all this time, we've been talking about one single protein. Estimates to form a minimally complex single-celled organism say that it requires between 250 and 400 different proteins to do this. There are vastly more in the human body, not to mention we also have specialized cells to do certain tasks requiring certain additional proteins.Though it is indeed possible, granted enough time, life could develop from simple chemicals, the universe (according to recent evidence found by the Hubble Space Telescope) is a maximum of 20 billion years old and this is nowhere near enough time in which to complete this process, even had the earth existed in the right state with all of the right conditions from the very beginning.

This is not all of the evidence, merely the evidence that exists in the formation of DNA.
