The French Mathematician, Lecompte de Nouy, examined the laws of probability for a single molecule of high dissymmetry to be formed by the action of chance. Dissymmetry in molecules is found in plants and animals. Non-organic molecules are clean and symmetrical. De Nouy found that, on an average, the time needed to form one such irregularly shaped molecule would be about 10 to the 253 power, i.e. billions of years.
