Desperate Apologists
“Atheists and theists alike have calculated the probability that life could arise by chance from nonliving chemicals. The figures they calculate are astronomically small—virtually zero. For example, Michael Behe has said that the probability of getting one protein molecule (which has about 100 amino acids) by chance would be the same as a blindfolded man finding one marked grain of sand in the Sahara Desert three times in a row. And one protein molecule is not life. To get life, you would need to get about 200 of those protein molecules together!”
— I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist by Frank Turek and Norman L. Geisler
Oh look, it’s Hoyle’s Fallacy, albeit reformulated. That something is improbable doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Learn abiogenesis before believing people who are against it; it is no coincidence that these people believe what you believe. They coddle your predilections and that is known as confirmation bias. Ultimately, it takes no faith to be an atheist. Atheism is defined as disbelief in gods and abiogenesis has nothing to do with that. Of course, I can appeal to it in order to explain where life came from, but I don’t need to complicate the matter; I can simply say that I’m sure your god doesn’t exist and thus, he didn’t create life or the universe for that matter. Turek and Geisler are saying nothing new; this is apologetic desperation at best, and their logic is utterly fallacious.
