FRANK AND ERNEST clearly haven’t done the math. It is not only counterintuitive, but hilariously against the odds, for life to evolve by naturalistic means, anywhere, at any time. The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the visible universe is about 10 to the 80th power. If the visible universe were packed solid with electrons, that would still be only 10 to the 130th power. Say each electron were a mutating system, going through a million mutations (what Huxley alleged would be required to evolve a horse) a billion times a second, for 30 billion years (over twice the age of the universe). The odds against evolving a horse in this way are still 10 to the (300,000-157) power against, as only 10 to the 157th attempts could be made in 30 billion years.
What is counterintuitive is believing that a fishbowl, let alone a fish, is anything but intentionally designed.
Johanan RakkavAstronomer Harlow Shapley’s discoveries with the red shift doubled the accepted size of the universe back in the 1930s. After a lecture, a woman asked how he could believe in such a large universe and still believe in a personal God. He replied, "Madam, it depends on how big a God you believe in.

More of a philosophical topic than a real topic as there is no evidence of life other than what’s found on earth.
