There are 50 trillion cells in the human body. If you extracted all the information from the DNA it would fill only 2 tablespoons.

If the DNA was stretched out it would reach from the earth to the moon and back 5 million times.

If you filled a book with all the information contained in DNA you would have enough to fill the Grand Canyon 40 times.

The chance of creating one DNA molecule by CHANCE is 1 x 10119,000

In other words - IMPOSSIBLE!

also DNA and RNA never formed by chance.

"the laws of thermodynamics" do not state this.


the 2nd law of thermodynamics states that entropy cannot decrease in any system.


every additional nucleobase added to a DNA chain changes the system entropy minimally, and the change in free energy is still negative.

only when you compare a collection of 10^23 individual nucleobases, and a single chain of DNA can the naive assumptions about entropy lead you to believe that spontaneous formation is impossible.


the simplified system

all separate, all-1 separate, all-2 separate, all-3 separate, .... n connected will NOT occupy the "ground state" unless temperature = 0

A single nucleotide consists of a pentose a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. For DNA this means the molar mass varies between 380g to 340. Assuming a straight average of 360, which it is not, the shortest known self reproducing genome would have a molar mass of 209,869,200 grams, or 210 tonnes.

Humans have about 2.9 billion base pairs, so the molar mass of our genome would be 1044000000000 grams, or just over 1 million tonnes. The combines mass of all humans on Earth is roughly 400 million tonnes.

OP doesn't troll, but OP's logic is completely fallacious.

It is indeed near impossible for DNA to be created out of mere chance granted the specificity in it's design, DNA appearing out of no where just simply cannot happen. Though given certain events, over time the probability increases, from the first organic compounds and nitrogren bonds to the first nucleotides, they chances of the next evolution occurring increased because the attributes of DNA favor eachother. Figure it like this, nothing is the way it is for no reason, their is always a preceding factor that caused each adaptation. It's impossible for DNA to appear out of no where, but its very possible to have a chemically active puddle, which makes it possible to have organic compounds, which makes it possible to have simple nucleotides, and Simple RNA and which allows for DNA and so forth. It's a domino affect.

Life was inevitable. It's apart of the large design of the universe, life is a more complex form of matter. The goal of the universe is for life to define it, there will be a point where all matter is life.

what fucking truth?

If God proves existence, no-one has a choice but to 'love, worship and obey' god. This is why the angels weren't so much to God's liking, they were moire sort of asslicking butthurts. Even the one that fell was God's first free will attempt and not particularly satisfying to the big dude.

So God made humans to be able to choose, whether to go for the god loving bullshit or go down the route of sin. But in order for it to be a credible choice, we have to have a credible alternative to the existence of god.

evolution, astrophysics, QM, whatever.

So trying to disprove the science is a SIN you fucktards. If you choose to disbelieve the science, you should get into church and pray like fuck but you'll never PROVE god because by your own fucking definitions God don't want to be PROVED.

First off, what are you calling information here? Parts that code proteins? Parts involved in the synthesizing of proteins but that don't directly code them? Parts that have been deactivated and don't code shit? Parts involved in mantaining the structure of the chromatides/chromosomes? A whole lot of your DNA is just a bunch of "This part intentionally left blank", and for good reasons, too.
