Maybe Fred Hoyle, the emminent Astronomer/Cosmolgist was on to something when he posited that the random chance creation of life forms was similar to the chances of ' a tornado sweeping through a junkyard and assembling a Boeing 747'. It certainly makes one think.

Hi Sea Cat,
I love the comparison of chance,me, the 747 thingy.
A fairly recent one I heard was that of the Euromillions lottery. The National Lottery has a 14 million to one chance of being won, but the Euromillions one has a few hundred million to one chance (can't quite remember the correct figure), but they compared it to picking up your phone, dialling a random number, and the Queen picking up the other end.
Brings it home, eh? Best spending that quid on the horses, methinks. Or on a swift half, not being a gambling man.
Regards,
TE.
