Listen up, atheists... The mathematical probability that just ONE functional protein forms through random mutations under the pressure of natural selection is astronomically low. So low, in fact, that estimates push the required time beyond a trillion trillion years. Yes, you read that right. Over one trillion trillions. Take a trillion, then multiply that by a trillion… and keep going. That's older than the known universe. That's how many years you would need for it to be more likely than not (>50% chance) that just ONE functional protein forms through the currently accepted evolutionary process (BTW: this also assumes the surrounding biological machinery needed to make and use that protein is already in place). Biology operates on coded information (the genetic code). And when you’re dealing with code, you can calculate probabilities. Think of it like a bike lock. If you know the number of possible combinations versus the one correct sequence, and how long each attempt takes, you can estimate how long it would take to crack it by chance. Now scale that up to the complexity of functional biological sequences. Essentially, the math tells us that the known universe isn't even old enough for just one functional protein to have formed without guided influence (intelligent design), let alone all the complexity of life that we see today. The very existence of life in our universe SCREAMS the existence of a creator. Thank you, Have a blessed day

We're not going to travel beyond the solar system, according to Leonard Susskind. And neither are aliens, coming to visit us. We may not be alone, but we are stuck here for, essentially forever. 1. The nearest star is 4.24 light years away. The fastest spacecraft ever built would require 6,600 years to get there. 2. Surely we can just build faster spacecraft. The problem is to get to anywhere close to the speed of light, we need exponentially more energy. 3. Chemical rockets will just not work. Even fusion rockets won't work. Even 10% of the speed of light is not achievable. The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation prevents it. 4. Interstellar dust becomes hand grenades when traveling anywhere close to the speed of light. Ships break. 5. Space radiation will kill us over the time need to travel interstellar distances. Impossible to protect without massive shields, which require massive energy to accelerate and de-accelerate.
