...the odds against DNA assembling by chance are10^40:1
[according to Fred Hoyle, Evolution from Space,1981].
What's the basis for this calculation? What were the beginning assumptions and how does the math go?
If it's like most of these types calculations, all it is doing to calculating the odds of the various bits of DNA all coming together at once to form a functioning DNA molecule. Since no scientist believes this is how it was formed, such a calculation is meaningless.
There are seven days in a week, seven colors in a rainbow, seven layers of the atmosphere, seven continents, seven seas, seven miracles that Jesus Christ performed in the gospel of John. Seven seems to be God's favorite number since He rested on the seventh day.
Most of these figures are arbitrary or wrong. For example, there are not seven colors in a rainbow. A rainbow is literally a continuous spectrum of different colors shading from what are commonly called red to violet. Any appearance of distinct colors is an illusion.
