Claim CF002.1:

Order doesn't spontaneously form from disorder. A tornado passing through a junkyard would never assemble a 747.

CreationWiki response:

First of all Fred Hoyle was an Evolutionist and not a Creationist, so this is not actually a creationist claim. Hoyle has been quoted by creationists, because he compares the odds of a naturalistic origin for life to those of a tornado forming a 747, but the claim was made by an Evolutionist.
