Ask youself the probability that the essential oxygen transporting protein Cytochrome C (104 amino acid...) could spontaneously come into being. That figure is a chance of 1 in 20 to the 104th power. Now give it a reason to come into being in what evolutionists speculate earlier on was an anaerobic primordial soup.

There was no reason. And of course it didn't. If you set up your own straw man, in this case, an unreasonably unlikely evolutionary sequence, you will find it easy to knock down. Proving nothing.

Touche, and thank you. Your statement just proved my point, even as it affirmed my original premise! Glad you agree. And you know what, Cytochrome C is only one of millions of specialized proteins that makes your existence, nay -- even your ability to post on FR -- fundamentally possible.

You were the one making the probabilities arguments in the first place. I welcome them, particularly where premises of evolution abut statistical impossibility. Here and in this instance, you have both acquitted yourself and contradicted yourself in the same breath! Quite a contorted intellectual feat for an evolutionist, I must say.

What a shame that by extention you still cling to such a random, purposeless view to your own living, breathing, aerobic existence.
