Creator?? Yea, you betcha!

You betcha? Yes you can count on it, bet your life, bet your house. Anyone of the above is a sure thing. I mean 100%. Not 99.99%, but 100%. God is real. This post is sent out to the non-believers. I hope that I can convince you of your folly before its too late. Also, this post is sent out to ultra-Libertarians of the Ayn Rand type, I hope you too will realize so that Objectivism finds new depth.

Sometime ago I did an in-depth study into the question: Does God exist? I did not do it because of weak knees on the issue, although as a Biology mayor in college from a reputable University (Washington University in St. Louis), I had plenty of seeds planted by my professors as to implausibility of God's existence. The first book I read was Godless by Ann Coulter. Ann is like the character Cathy in Steinbeck's "East of Eden", except she's rational and noble. Ann led me to Fred Hoyle.

"Evolution from Space" by Fred Hoyle is midsize rather difficult book to read. Mr. Hoyle is a world-renowned Mathematician and Astronomer Fred Hoyle. Hoyle was a professed atheist, as are most academics, when he started his research for the book. However, at the conclusion of the book Mr. Hoyle wasn't running to the nearest Church, but he was forced by math to conclude that all this just can't be by chance.

Here is a demonstration of the problem.

Statistics:
1) Flip a coin and you get heads 50% of the time. Flip 3 coins and you get heads, heads, heads 1 in 8 times or 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2.
2) Roll a dice and you get the number one, 16.66% of the time. Roll 3 dice and you get one, one, one in 1 in 216 times or 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6.
3) To create a protein (cytochrome C) randomly as Darwin would suggest requires the correct positioning of 104 amino acids. There are 20 available amino acids. Hence, the odds of correctly making cytochrome C in humans is 20 to the 105th power. Or 20 with 105 zeros. This is equivalent to zero chance.
