Sir Fred Hoyle

"The likelihood of the formation of life from inanimate matter is one to a number with 40,000 naughts after it... 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."

-- Sir Fred Hoyle

So this is the guy who coined the term "Big Bang." Only, he did it to ridicule the theory that he, ironically, helped popularise in the end.
