Out of Their Own Mouths! - Sir Fred Hoyle, British Mathematician

I do not know how long it is going to be before astronomers generally recognize that the combinatorial arrangement of not even one among the many thousands of biopolymers on which life depends could have been arrived at by natural processes here on the Earth. Astronomers will have a little difficulty at understanding this because they will be assured by biologists that it is not so, the biologists having been assured in their turn by others that it is not so. The "others" are a group of persons who believe, quite openly, in mathematical miracles. They advocate the belief that tucked away in nature, outside of normal physics, there is a law which performs miracles (provided the miracles are in aid of biology). This spurious situation sits oddly on a profession that for long has been dedicated to coming up with logical explanations of biblical miracles.

Now imagine 10 to the 50th power (10 x 10 fifty times or a 1 with 50 zeros after it) of blind persons each with a scrambled Rubik cube, and try to conceive of the chance of them all simultaneously arriving by random shuffling of just one of the many biopolymers on which life depends. The notion that not only the bioplolymers but the operating programme of a living cell (which we now know as the DNA) could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order. Life must plainly be a cosmic phenomenon.
