RussLets apply that analogy to an Oak tree. Pull apart the tree into its cellular components and throw all the bits onto the ground. What are the odds of all the bits falling into place to remake the tree? Even if you throw it down a trillion gazillion times? Zero.
I heard a funny analogy. Imagine taking apart a laptop computer - component by component, screw by screw, chip by chip. Put all the pieces in a cardboard box and shake it up. Then dump everything on the floor.
What are the chances of the pieces landing on the floor altogether as a working laptop computer, even given trillions and trillions of opportunities to shake the box and throw the contents on the floor?
