Baryons are the smallest particles of matter in the universe. (Go with me on this). Scientists have calculated the total number of baryons in the universe. 10 to the 84th power. Scientists have also calculated the maximum number of interactions per second. 10 to the 20th power. [b]The 1st cell requires 10 to the 100 billionth power interactions to evolve![/b] Since most people speculate that the Earth is around 15 billion years old, then you would calculate the total number of interactions since the beginning of time. Take how many seconds there are in 15 billion years and multiply that with the total number of baryons in the universe multiplied by the number of baryon interactions per second. (10 to the 17th power x 10 to the 84th power x 10 to the 20th power = 10 to the 121st power. 10 to the 121st power interactions since the beginning of time. The structure of the 1st cell would require 10 to the 100 billionth power interactions to evolve. Since the beginning of time however, there have been only 10 to the 121st power interactions! To find the probability of evolution actually happening, you take the number of baryon interactions since the beginning of time and divide that by the number of baryon interactions needed for the 1st cell to evolve. (10 to the 121st power divided by 10 to the 100 billionth power = 1 over (/) 10 to the 99,999,999,879th power. [b]Which is practically 0!!!![/b] It doesn't matter if the Earth is 100 billion years old there hasn't been enough time, space, or matter for evolution to ever have occured!!!!!!! Evolution must 1st work on the molecular level to work at all!!!! Post edited by: Psalm84_10, at: 2007/01/29 23:13
