Hoyle posited 10^40000. I cut it down somewhat. Now, suppose it's only 10^1000? You still want to go with those odds?

No, because you've not justified your number.

So your saying that science declares that cells can come from something other than cells and that the spontaneous generation of life is not impossible?

The so-called "Law of Biogenesis" states that "complex" organisms (such as current bacteria) cannot come from non-living substances, not that non-living organic molecules cannot form into simple cell-like structures that reproduce and evolve (thus becoming the bacteria we see today).

Which is about a big a statement of blind faith as the temporal loop.

Saying that science is currently unable to adequately address the ultimate origins of matter and energy is a statement of faith? I would think it a statement of fact.

No, it says cells can't come from non-cells; DNA can't come from non-DNA

Fair enough, but the implication that it one day will be able to is blind faith.

And the thing about the temporal loop is serious blind faith
