> The eye gene has 130 sites. That means there are 20 to the power of 130 possible combinations of amino acids along those 130 sites.

No, there aren't. Because the vast majority of those combinations simply won't work.... and they won't work at very much smaller gene sizes. Successful small genes build up bits at a time, not suddenly fall together.

What you've quoted is another example of lying through statistics.

The author did not assert that there are 20 to the power of 130 possible workable combinations of amino acids along those 130 sites, just that there are 20 to the power of 130 possible combinations of amino acids along those 130 sites.

I see you've lowered yourself to irrational name-calling already. Perhaps you should take a break and cool off before you tackle the other items from post #33.
