There is nothing tricky here, just simple probability and statistics...

It's not quite yesterday I made some stochastic calculations. But as I remember a big factor is what you claim as stochastic independent. If something is stochastic dependent on something else you'll get quite other numbers. So please provide your complete basic approaches and calculations to me.

I try to make my still unanswered question clearer:
What is the mass of one mol of sugar?
How many molecules may that be?

I think you are trying to make a complex problem even more so. I made, what I think are very generous assumptions to the anti-ID crowd, and considered this as a simple probability problem. The boundary conditions are at 151, with answers to objections on a couple subthreads from there (160 and such). Shouldn't be too hard to follow.

Not sure where you are going with the mol question, nor its relevance. Here's a corollary that might speed the process:

Given about 10⁷⁸atoms in the universe, a generous estimate of 10⁵⁵ atoms composing earth, and focusing on fluid dynamics of the boundary layer of lithosphere - atmosphere, what are the numbers for the critical organic builders C and H?

We are talking on the order of about 10⁴⁵ hydrogen atoms and 10⁴⁴ carbon atoms. Both estimates >> Avogadro’s constant.

Recall that we are working with a large sphere, and very small things. When you consider it all, turns out that the average density is 10^-3 Angstrom^-3 for H and 10^-4 Angstrom^-3 for C. This means an average separation of about 3000 angstroms (quite a chasm) between the critical organic atoms C and H. Since most primordial investigators propose the stable molecules H₂O, H₂, CH₄, and CO₂ as the most common sources of H and C, thus the distances are probably even larger by maybe an order of magnitude or two.
