"If every elementary particle in the observed universe (about 1080) were cranking out mutation events at the cosmic speed limit (about 1045 times per second) for a billion times the estimated age of the universe, they still could not produce the genes for a working flagellum."
Now that's an interesting statement.

It's supposed to be 1080 and 1045. It's a completely spurious and embarrassingly wrong argument, of course, and especially suspicious since it's supposed to be coming from an expert on statistics.

Please note that "interesting" does not equate to "factually accurate."

Now that's an interesting statement. I've always wondered what mathematical odds were of EVERYTHING in nature happening *just so* to create all the different kinds of life on the Earth.
And the statistics given from the article are for ONE part of a single organism!
