My contentions stand on a four-legged table, developing temporally in the following order: 1) The universe, whose parameters are so finely adjusted, allows life. 2) The origin of life from inorganic matter. 3) The enormous complexity of the coding system DNA/RNA which drives and controls life. 4) The human mind which makes US dilfferent in kind, not degree. I have no idea what the total odds are, when compiled in order, and of course, as Matt notes, there is no reasonable way to estimate and calculate them. - Thought I should add these studies which shows the intricacies of a cell at work, which supports my third point. - http://www.physorg.com/news167400145.html
