Life's Spontaneous Origin: How Likely Is It?

Evolutionists claim that the universe is billions of years old, and that supplies plenty of time for life itself, and all living beings afterwards, to evolve.  How likely is the spontaneous origin of life from non-life?  It is approximately one in 10^112,500(source).  That means that it is incomprehensibly more likely that you will win the jackpot on every single ticket if you buy a billion lottery tickets every single second of your entire life than it is that life will spontaneously evolve:

The likelihood of winning in the Powerball lottery in the USA are slightly better than 1 x 10^-9. If you lived longer than any modern person by surviving to the end of your 123^rd year, and bought one billion lottery tickets every second from the time you were born, you would have 123 x 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 x 1,000,000,000 = 3,881,584,800,000,000,000 chances to win the lottery; the likelihood you would do this every single day on every single ticket is 1 x 10^-9 x ≈3.9 x 10^-18 = ≈3.9 x 10^-27 > 1 x 10^-27, a number incomprehensibly larger than the likelihood of the spontaneous origin of life, 1 x 10^-112,500.

While there are great Biblical and scientific reasons to believe in a young earth, as resources from scientists associated with the Institute for Creation Research and Answers in Genesis demonstrate, billions of years do not even come anywhere close to solving the problem of the origin of life for evolutionists.  Only infinite time would do--but even evolutionary scientists now admit that the universe is expanding and consequently had a beginning, and so there is no infinite time for evolution to do its work.
