Your faith in Nature's God, as He is called in America's Declaration of Independence, will likely be challenged many times in your life, by atheists and perhaps by difficulties you face. It is important for you to have a firm foundation for your most important beliefs. I sincerely hope this analysis helps you in your lifelong journey of prayer, hope, and wisdom. Please share it with family and friends. for their benefit.

The Insuperable Statistics of Naturalistic Polypeptide Synthesis - In Other Words, Nature Cannot Design Complex Proteins
Titin is the largest protein in the human body. It consists of 38,138 amino acid residues in a precise sequence. The first, original synthesis, whether stepwise or in one single, continuous process, consisted of "selecting," in any manner you contemplate, 1 out of the 20 amino acids making up humans, one at a time, 38,138 times in succession. The probability of this event is 1/2038,138 , which equals 1 in 1049,618, times the other factors. The pretense of claiming that "sections" of any protein were "assembled" overlooks the unassailable fact that any "section," however small, had to be assembled under the same statistical constraints. Whether one does the computations of building the sequence in one step or 10,000 steps, the figures are beyond dispute. They get a great deal worse, in fact.
[Don't be intimidated by exponential notation. It is shorthand meaning "the number of zeroes behind 1". For example 1010=10000000000.]
Only Levorotary (left-handed) amino acids, not Dextrorotary (right-handed) amino acids are present in human proteins.* So to account for this chirality factor, the first computation of 1 in 10 to the 49,618th power has to be multiplied by 1/2 to the 38,138th power, which is equal to 1 in 10 to the 11,480th power. 1 in 10 to the 49,618 x 1 in 10 to the 11,480 = 1 in 10 to the 61,198th power. [You add exponents in order to multiply the rational number, so 10 to the third power times 10 to the third power, 1,000 times 1,000 equals 10 to the sixth power, or 1,000,000.]
*
Since all protein bonds are peptide bonds, which are equally probable as the random formation of non-peptide bonds, the previous product has to be multiplied by 1/2 to the 38,138th power again. The product of these three essential elements of original Titin synthesis is therefore 1 chance in 10 to the 72,578th power (not even multiplying by whatever is an appropriate probability for the precise folding of the extremely long chain.) [49,618 + 11,480 + 11,480 = 72,578]
Finally, "selection," that magic word Darwin so popularized, demands that at each successive naturalistic step, there must be some advantage conferred to the organism, otherwise the random mutation cannot prevail and multiply. It is impossible for anyone to explain how 1072,578 small, individual steps in this original synthesis will each provide separate, useful functions en route to their final complex formula of Titin. Nobody has ever attempted such an explanation, and they never will. There are only 3 x 109 seconds in 100 years!
Titin is one of at least 20,000 proteins* and enzymes in humans, each of which is statistically impossible to originally design without the Intelligent Creator. * https://www.omim.org/entry/188840\
Darwinian evolution, from a single celled organism, to humans, is impossible times at least 20,000.
The only rational conclusion is that they are creations of Nature's God.

If the "sections" were pulled from many other polypeptides, as some argue, it still requires new and separate mechanisms for each and every section, and there would have to be many trillions of trillions of them.
To avoid the hurdle of 10-40, which is evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins' definition of "impossible," you have to restrict original polypeptide synthesis to a scant 21 amino acids, calculating chirality and peptide bonding.

In 1943, the distinguished French mathematician Émile Borel stated that “events with a sufficiently small probability never occur” (Institute of Mathematical Statistics). Dr. Borel chose a fairly safe number, 1 chance in 10 to the 50th power, or 10-50 . *
Let’s look at the volume of 1050 marbles, one centimeter in diameter.
There are 100 such marbles per meter, and 100 times 1,000 per kilometer = 105 marbles per km .
However, when identical spheres are stacked, they drop into the valley of three other spheres, which reduces their equivalent cubic volume to 74% of their diameter.
Therefore the volume of 105 marbles cubed equals (.74 x 105) cubed = 4.05 x
1014 cubic kilometers.
The volume of earth is 108.3 x 1010cubic kilometers. **
4.05 x 1014 marbles/cubic km x 108.3 x 1010cubic kilometers per earth volume = 2.28 x 1026 earth sized spheres
This is 228,000 billion billion earth sized spheres filled with marbles, with only one chance to pick the special unique marble on the first and only try. This is the definition of "one chance in..." No probability is ever shown as an infinite number of chances.

The misleading atheist claims that (1) science and religion are mutually exclusive, and (2) Christians are ignorant and anti-science, are destructive lies which have led too many to abandon their religious faith.
Eighty-five percent of Nobel Laureates in the Twentieth Century were Christians and Jews. (100 Years of Nobel Prizes, by Baruch Shalev) They were neither ignorant nor unscientific. Modern science accords far better with Nature's God than it does with atheist nihilism.

"His (Dawkin’s) metaphor of climbing the mountain (Climbing Mount Improbable, by Richard Dawkins) is loaded with intentionality, not randomness, the driving force of any mutation. No climber ever reached the summit of a high and difficult mountain without a powerful sense of wanting to get there. The very fact that Dawkins admits to aiming for the summit, or in his own words, “only accepting mutations that improve optical performance”, is surely the most blatant admission that his version of neo-Darwinism is, despite claims to the contrary, profoundly goal-centered and purposeful." - How Blind is the Watchmaker, by Neil Broom, page 167
