A GAME OF CHESS OR A GAME OF CHANCE! admission that there does exist a Supreme Creator. It was. He who created options at every creative step and it was He. Himself who selected the right option to usher the creation into a higher order of existence. Hence, stage after stage it was He who made choices with purpose, design and direction. . Frank Allen, Professor of Biophysics, University of. Manitoba, Canada and recipient of the Tory Gold Medal,. Royal Society of Canada writes: 'The adjustments of the earth for life are far too numerous to be accounted for by chance. ' , 3. What he evidently means is that in the long journey of evolution we find design, order and harmony which cannot be ascribed to chance. . Commenting on the complexity of proteins and the manner in which they play the essential role of building, supporting and advancing life, Allen categorically rejects the idea of attributing this to chance. . Also for a single protein molecule to be formed out of chance would require 10 248 years! As far as the known span of evolution is concerned, for it to accommodate all the figures as have been mentioned, is as impossible as impossible can be. All the amazing steps of creation only took 4. 5 billion years!. Scientists conduct their experiments in precisely controlled laboratory conditions. A chance spillage or leakage would ruin an experiment; the apparatus would have to be reorganized, and the experiment repeated in order to negate the effects of the mistake. A conscious mind has to supervise what is going on and make sure nothing goes wrong by chance. 472
