God and the Universe

Both scientists independently calculated the mathematical probability of life beginning by chance based on the size and age of the universe. Their separate investigations converged on the same conclusion: the chance emergence of life is not mathematically possible. They calculated that if the probability of a random occurrence is considered “one,” the opposing probabilities are so numerous that to count them, forty thousand zeros would need to be written to the right of the ‘one’. “The number of existing volume and age (15 billion years) in the universe is so incomprehensibly vast that I am absolutely certain that life could not have started suddenly on our Earth,” Wickramasinghe said. According to the article, Wickramasinghe remarked that Hoyle tended much more than he was towards the higher intelligent Creator. Wickramasinghe used to argue against it, but he lost every argument. “At the moment, I can’t find any rational argument to knock down the view which argues for conversion to God,” Wickarmasinghe explained, adding that “the only logical answer to life is creation and not accidental random shuffling.” THE SOUL’S QUEST FOR ETERNAL TRUTH Yakov Zeldovich (1914-1987) was a famous Russian scientist. In the period when the USSR was still in existence, an article he wrote appeared in a magazine published in
