Recently I was speaking at Bolsa Grande High School to the Bible Club during lunch. When students promote the event, skeptics frequently attend, which is a wonderful thing.
At this event, I taught some basics about the eye and I said I felt eyes are the result of design (plan) and not chance (unplanned).

One of schools top students raised his hand and politely asked: "Are you saying it is statistically impossible for the eye to have evolved by chance?"

I thought about it and said "yes."

Here are my reasons why I think eyes could not arise by chance. Eyes are made up of cells…….. which are made up of proteins. If it is statistically impossible for one protein to have happened by chance, then cells can not happen by chance, and then eyes can not happen by chance.

PROTEIN BASICS (Do not be scared off…this is pretty easy stuff)

Imagine there was an alpha bet with only 20 letters in it.

Imagine I had a 400 letter long word written down on a sheet of paper, and I asked you to guess what the word is.

What are the odds you would arrange those 20 letters in the correct sequence and spell my word? It is 20 to the 400th power, which is the same as 10 to the 520th power.

In statistics, anything greater than 10 to the 50th power is considered impossible. Thus you would face a statistically impossible task.

In humans, proteins are like words…...and amino acids are like the letters that make the word. The proper sequence of amino acids (i.e. letters) define the protein (the word).
Humans have 20 amino acids in their bodies. The average protein is 400 amino acids long (many proteins are much longer).

So…..what are the odds of 20 amino acids being in the proper sequence to make just one average protein in you? 10 to the 520th power. REMEMBER…..that is only ONE protein….you body has trillions upon trillions of proteins.

So….if it is statistically impossible for one protein to happen by chance…..it is statistically impossible for an eye to happen by chance.

The student offered no rebuttal.
