Here is probably the best one Stephen.

"The 'beneficial minority' of mutations which can supposedly be preserved
by natural selection, for example, is vanishingly small, and the almost
infinite accumulation of beneficial mutations that would be required for
the true evolution of even a single major kind of animal surely requires
natural selection to be a remarkable type of mechanism, one which can
truly generate an 'exceedingly high level of improbability." Henry M.
Morris, Twilight of Evolution, (Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1963) p.
48

Is infinite close enough to millions?
