Is Life by Chance?
If you come across a TV, watch, mobile, a car, a book without any name or symbol or imprint of manufacturer, how many of you will believe that it was created by chance? –will you not believe that it was created by someone, simply because manufacturer is not before your eyes? Just because you did not witness the manufacturing process?
If you visit a fully automated factory manufacturing some electronic appliance, all around you find is only robots and no human being is visible either in office or at security gates. There are no name of signs of the owner or company, will you believe that this factory or its products came into existence by chance only.
Let’s think for a moment and find out,
How many living or non-living things so far you found that came into existence by chance?
You will not believe in God, simply because we cannot see Him?
Why and how do we have a soul? Why do we have higher inclination, take time out from normal routine and think over it.
What scientist are saying about life being by chance?
Think further,
What are the Odds of Life evolving by chance alone? [i]
Within each cell there is an area called the nucleus which contains the all-important chromosomes. Chromosomes are microscopically small, rod-shaped structures which carry the genes. Within the chromosomes is an even smaller structure called DNA. This is one of the most important chemical substances in the human body — or in any other living thing. Increasing scientific understanding of DNA molecules has revealed enormous problems for materialism….…
……In function, DNA is somewhat like a computer program on a floppy disk. It stores and transfers encoded information and instructions. It is said that the DNA of a human stores enough information code to fill 1,000 books — each with 500 pages of very small, closely-printed type. The DNA code produces a product far more sophisticated than that of any computer. Amazingly, this enormous set of instructions fits with ease within a single cell and routinely directs the formation of entire adult humans, starting with just a single fertilized egg. Even the DNA of a bacterium is highly complex, containing at least 3 million units, all aligned in a very precise, meaningful sequence……….
…..Two well known scientists calculated the odds of life forming by natural processes. They estimated that there is less than 1 chance in 10 to the 40,000power that life could have originated by random trials. 10 to the 40,000power is a 1 with 40,000 zeros after it!…..

Human DNA has 30,000 gene complexes. The “first living cell” would have had about 300 gene complexes. Thus, we have an increase of 29,700 gene complexes going from the DNA of the “first living cell” to human DNA (obviously assuming evolution, which is what we are trying to calculate the probability of)……
……………In any case, the 10‑100 applies to 3,000 ancestor species of humans. This means that the probability of human evolution is about: 10(‑100x 3000) or 10‑300,000.
Here is another article from Forbes…May 2017[iii]
In order for you to exist, a great many unlikely events needed to unfold in exactly the way that they did. The exact sperm cell and egg cell needed to meet to create you with the DNA sequence that encoded you, and brought you into existence; a one-in-250 million chance for a sperm cell alone. That needed to happen each time in an unbroken string for millions of generations of your ancestors, going back to well before they were human beings or even hominids of any type. Other unlikely events needed to occur as well: life needed to take hold on Earth, Earth needed to form as a habitable planet with the right ingredients for life out of the ashes of previously dead stars, the laws of physics needed to be such that they permitted life, and the Universe itself must have unfolded in such a way as to make all of this possible.
From this discussion it becomes clear that life cannot come into existence by chance only, there must be a Creator. Let’s search for the Creator and connect with Him.
