    The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein. This echoes his stance, reported elsewhere: Life as we know it is, among other things, dependent on at least 2000 different enzymes.
