Settin' Trends for Abiogenesis Calculations

Here are some creationist calculations concerning how probable the origin of life is:

This calculation was made in the 1940's
1 in 10^40,000
(Fred Hoyle and N.C. Wickramasinghe, Evolution from Space)

This calculation was made in the 1980's
1 in 10^2000
(Michael Denton, Evolution: A theory in crisis)

This calculation was made in the 2000's
1 in 10^125
(Stephen C. Meyer, Evidence for Design, pg. 75)

Now, who can tell me what the trend is here?
