In this case, "impossible" simply means having such a low probability that it won't happen in a specified period of time. IDers claim to have calculated the probability of certain things happening. The success of this programming method proves that useful and previously unknown things can arise through mutation and selection.

That does not "prove" it happens in biology, but it demonstrates the weakness of the "improbability" argument.

Weakness bump!

It is improbable that I throw 50 sixes in a row on an unloaded die, but not impossible of course. Everyone knows that. Well, everyone but Darwinians, who need massive computing power to figure it out. I'm not at all surprised that Darwinians would wave computer simulations around as impressive demonstrations of something that every reasonable person already knows: that improbability and impossiblity are two different things.

Repeating the same ridiculous statement will not make it true. You are arguing that intelligent design of a program proves random chance. Can't you see the absurdity of what you are saying??????????
