evolutionists-how do you account for this?

The common thought is that the earth is 4.5 billion years old.

Now let's suppose that a molecule combination is tried every second.

The 60 in a minute, 1440 in an hour, 525600 in a year, 2365200 billion in an 4.5 billion years.

Still just a drop in the bucket right? It's about 12% of 10 to the 125th.

But think of how big the world is. I would think that a molecule combination would occur more often than one in a second.

It's also possible that organic material came from space. And that could mean much more time was given on a different planet.

Throw a thousand matchsticks on the floor. Now, what are the chances of being able to throw them down again and every one landing in EXACTLY the same place as the first time? You could probably do it until the universe died and never repeat the first result. So, the first result was far beyond impossible, right? Wrong. The probability of one *particular* configuration of life forming might be infinitesimal, but if there are an almost infinite number of ways that life *could* exist then the probability of life existing at all could be approaching 1. i.e. complete certainty.

Well, your description is a little off, but fine, I'll allow it.

"linked up in a specified sequence being 1 in 10 to the 125th power"

in one shot? no, probably not.

Over the course of a couple of billion years? much more likely.

Far likelier than a christian sky daddy.

Why does it have to be one or the other? I think creation works with evolution. While there is solid scientific fact that every species has evolved, it can not fully explain how they started in the first place.

what are the chances that a set of simple inorganic elements would form complex organic molecules given energy and a few weeks?

pretty high it turns out:

when the oceans were formed they had organic molecules in every sea reacting with each other dont you think over time something will happen

There's a 1 in a trillion chance someone will win the lottery, but someone does win.

Why are you asking such a complex science problem to a bunch of humanities majors?

Go ask that question in the biology section.

The odds of something happening or not happening don't seem to alter the fact of it having happened.

The answer to your question can be found in any science textbook. Get busy.
