Hi Paul, 

 

Thanks for your posts, I am glad you enjoy discussing science/creation topics. 

As for links to other websites, everybody here appreciates a link to good website, but many of us have learned our lessons from sites with biased reporting or sites that state things as facts but are unsubstantiated . So we are encouraged to provide a link, we should just try to verify the information/website first. 

Hi Brother Neil!   How are you tonight?

 

Verifying can be hard.   Not so hard to find Sir Arthur Eddington's estimate of the mass of the known universe - harder to confirm - in fact the matter can be dark!

I cannot find the reference to this in our literature - but I know it is there.    

 

Bottom line - 10^79 amu is a good estimate.   And 10^80 is certainly a good limit when calculating the limits of what can be produced by chance in our universe since our universe was created.

 

Then there is dark matter - but this form of matter is not part of the makeup of life.   On dark matter, see:
