Actually, it's more than just odds and probability, even though once a probability reaches a small enough value, it is considered to be zero by statisticians.
But scientists who have studied the internal structure of the DNA molecule had to conclude that ID by an Intelligent Designer was the only possible solution to the question of the origin of life in our universe.
One scientist, Dr. Flue (not sure of the spelling, but that's the way it's pronounced), prior to his research, was an avowed atheist who was convinced that evolution was the only possible cause for life.
After his in depth research of the DNA molecule, he had to change his position. He said in an interview that to continue to accept evolution as fact would require "intellectual suicide."
Here are a few facts:
1. The DNA molecule is a highly complex data information storage and retrieval system that makes even the Cray Supercomputer look like child's play by comparison.
2. Information and data is NEVER random, and requires intelligence.
3. The entire cell contains highly complex components that can not be simplified, such as the mitochondria, as one example.
4. When scientists attempted to simplify the cell, the cell disintegrated.
5. Each component within the cell requires the cell membrane surrounding it, without which it crumbles (disintegrates).
6. The cell membrane requires all the internal components to be there, or it, too, disintegrates.
In other words, to simplify a cell would be like trying to simplify your computer:
If you remove any components (RAM, CPU, main board, etc), the computer no longer functions.
If you simplify any internal component (cut the leads to the IC chips, or remove some resistors or coils, etc), again the computer no longer functions.
The only difference is that the individual components of a computer do not disintegrate when you remove them from the computer, whereas the individual components of the cell DO disintegrate when removed from the cell.
All the parts have to be in place, and each part must be fully developed and highly complex before the cell can live.
Last but not least, for evolution to function, there must be a simpler life form that evolved into something more complex, but as I already pointed out, there is nothing "simple" about the cell. Even the simplest single-celled protozoa has all the same internal components, every one of which is highly complex, as any cell in your body.
And, since the amoeba is just as complex as the cells in YOUR body, I must conclude that either YOU are as simple as an amoeba, and you haven't yet developed intelligence yet, or the amoeba is just as complex as you.
You can't have it both ways! Either you are a SIMPLE life form like the amoeba, or the amoeba is complex like you! - no simple life forms from which you can evolve!
In the words of Sherlock Holmes (AKA Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), “When you have eliminated the impossible, then whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.”
When we eliminate evolution as a probable cause for life, then ID by an Intelligent Designer (i.e. God) MUST be the truth, no matter HOW improbable YOU think it is!
And if you persist on accepting evolution as the source of life, you have committed intellectual suicide, so says the expert!
