"The human brain consists of about ten thousand million nerve cells. Each nerve cell puts out somewhere in the region of between ten thousand and one hundred thousand connecting fibers by which it makes contact with other nerve cells in the brain. Altogether the total number of connections in the human brain approaches 10 [to the 15th power] or a thousand million-million." - Michael Denton

Could any sort of purely random process ever have assembled such systems in the time available?" - Michael Denton
