and we’re talking a VERY serious impossibility here

I would say that unless you know the specific steps by which life arose from non-life -- and even the Bible says it did -- you cannot calculate the probabilities.

You can, of course, calculate the probability of cells assembling in one step via quantum leap, but no one asserts this happened (except, I suppose, creationists).

But there is no theory, and no hypothesis which specifies the steps, so I am at a loss as to how you calculate the odds.

How is it you have to have these "steps"? I don't know of any "steps" involved with the big bang theory....from all I've read, there's just this great big explosion...!Therefore it doesn't seem this is exclusive to just us creationists.
