Famous atheist astronomer, Fred Hoyle who never converted to Christianity, yet still rejected Darwinism and abiogenesis (which is the first logical step necessary for "evolution") because of the impossible astronomical odds against such hypothetical notions.

Quote: "If one proceeds directly and straightforwardly in this matter, without being deflected by a fear of incurring the wrath of scientific opinion, one arrives at the conclusion that biomaterials with their amazing measure of order must be the outcome of intelligent design. No other possibility I have been able to think of..."
~ Fred Hoyle

'"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is 1 to a number with 40,000 noughts after it (1040,000).... It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence." ~FRED HOYLE'

Tim adds:

Yep. Hoyle created the Steady State theory to get around the problem of a lack of time for life to evolve. But that just kicked the can down the road, so he then postulated life evolving elsewhere and winding up here.

At some point the "elephants all the way down" view just falls apart. Hoyle never could get his theories to match reality. If the universe were eternal then it should long ago have died of heat death.
