Fred Hoyle came up with 10 to the -40,000th, I came up with 10 to the -6,000th for a minimal cell (200 small genes) but 10 to the -1000th is still way beyond what could happen in a universe that's not set up somehow. The total number of chemical events/collisions (need these to have a chemical reaction to make or break a molecule) is the total number of vibrations of every atom in the universe over 15 billion years. it come out to less than 10 to the 150th. Thus the FACTS are - life is statistically and chemically impossible in a normal "natural" universe. Thus something else is going on.
