It turns out that ( as I have been declaring for more than 20 years now ) cellular complexity is »unimaginably sophisticated, and the »search space required for protein synthesis and engineering is »staggeringly complex. We’re talking about something like 1 in 10 to the 70th power.

What are the »actual probabilities that such a process can happen ‘accidentally’ on the surface of the ancient Earth? Mathematically…

One scientist described this probability as the ability to locate a single elementary particle in a search space of 9 universes like our own.

Why should we presume the »least probable narrative for the origin of life? There’s effectively no evidence whatsoever for the view that it was a mechanical accident. Arguments? Yes, but poor in the face of the actual organismal structure, activity… and sentience…

“…the cell is an unbelievably complex bit of machinery—unfathomably complex and we haven’t understood its complexity at all! Every time we look there seems to be an additional layer of rebarbative complexity that needs to be factored into our theories don’t forget the the eternal goal is to explain the emergence of this complexity… and if we’re continually behind the curve because the complexity is increasing every time we look that eternal goal is also receding from view not approaching it’s receding it’s becoming more and more difficult to construct a theory for that…”
