The late Fred Hoyle, a lifelong atheist, seems paradoxically in spite of his atheism to have been responsible for one of the more durable critiques of Darwinian theory.

His critique of Darwinism came in the form of an analogy.

He stated that the chances of life beginning spontaneously by chance were the same as the chances of a tornado hitting a Junkyard and spontaneously assembling a Jumbo Jet by chance.

I would suggest that Mr Hoyle in rejecting the atheistic keynote of Darwinian theory was in fact substantially indeed exponentially overstating the odds in its favour.

Because for a tornado to hit a junkyard to begin with, there must be a civilisation which produces junkyards and it must have come from somewhere, (in other words life must already exist and have come from somewhere) and there must also be a terrestrial weather system existing on a planet in a universe which permits the formation of tornados, and that too must have come from somewhere.

Ex nihilo nihil fit, as the Bishop said to the Quantum theorist.

Nothing comes from nothing.
