Example 1
Consider this. The odds of winning a state lottery are about 1 chance in ten million. The odds of someone winning the state lottery every single week from age 18 to age 99 is 1 chance in 4.6 x 1029,120. Therefore, the odds of winning the state lottery every week consecutively for eighty years is more likely than the spontaneous generation of just the proteins of an amoebae!

A more detailed estimate for spontaneous generation has been made by Harold Morowitz, a Yale University physicist. Morowitz imagined a broth of living bacteria that was super-heated so that all the complex chemicals were broken down into their basic building blocks. After cooling the mixture, he concluded that the odds of a single bacterium re-assembling by chance is one in 10100,000,000,000. This number is so large that it would require several thousand books just to write it out.

And then when you have your one celled amoeba how do you randomly morph it into a woolly mammoth? How did so much genetic material randomly materialize?

Your example sounds similar to other statements of mathematicians that have reckoned the possibility of self generation by accident to be so remote it is impossible. One,( I think from Russia) said if a mutation occurred every second of the building blocks supposedly available in the soup, there hasn't been enough time in the largest number of years claimed by science for the smallest virus to be formed. Then he expounded on this astronomical number and said, if randomly a combination of these chemicals came together to make a virus right off the bat, it would be hundreds of billions of years later to make the next viable virus in complexity. Even mathematicians knew the amount of zero's after 10x was so large, they all said it represented impossibility.

They all had to admit that the odds of the virus living long enough or the bacteria living long enough to have food to eat or a mate to mate with was also impossible. Even an asexual example eating his own would never change into something else to have some other example to eat or mate with, so no evolution. All of these "scientific" claims of evolution cannot be shown possible with math. The claims made by non mathematicians about evolution are just their imaginations and cannot be shown possible by math.
