"That is certainly a close-minded remark which demonstrates an absence of knowledge of the sciences being discussed, and which subsequently makes it impossible to have a rational debate on this subject any further."

One need not necessarily hold a doctorate in molecular biology to discern "theories" dependent on mathematically impossible odds can never be proven.

Would it have made you feel any better if I had cited a half-dozen scientists who have refuted the remotest possibility of any of your "theoretical models"?

From my experience, though, the number of people who can properly assess the "mathematical possibility" of something is far smaller than the number of folks who *think* they are competent enough to correctly do so.

Which are you?

Only if their refutations were correct. See above. Feel free to present some of these alleged refutations, if you're able to. And if you're not, then you're just engaging in the fallacy of the "argument from authority".
