Jeepers, I don't know why this is so difficult

Me neither.

At post 817 I said: Yockey used Shannon entropy to examine the information content of a small protein, cytochrome c and concluded that even it could not have arisen by happenstance; and the minimum information content of a simplest organism is much larger than the information content of cytochrome c.

No one is claiming it arose by happenstance. Straw man.

Thank you for your reply!

If you have a highly plausible theory for how biological information arose from non-life, then please publish it and claim the million dollar prize!

Origin of Life Prize

"The Origin-of-Life Prize" ® (hereafter called "the Prize") consists of $1.35 Million (USD) paid directly to the winner(s). The Prize will be awarded for proposing a highly plausible mechanism for the spontaneous rise of genetic instructions in nature sufficient to give rise to life. To win, the explanation must be consistent with empirical biochemical and thermodynamic concepts as further delineated herein, and be published in a well-respected, peer-reviewed science journal(s).

Then we all agree that it happened by design.
