Even if you could try a trillion, trillion combinations per second, your chances of coming up with a plausable, self replicating, stable virus are mathmatically ZERO even if you considered the universe a billion times older than the current claims.

You are confusing the complexity of zero-order pattern with the total information it contains. An infinite zero-order pattern can contain trivial complexity in both time and space (small enough to fit on cocktail napkin with a crayon), and it is more than obvious that you are not equipped to make this determination of a virus. We already know that the total complexity of living organisms is unimaginably smaller than their expression.

Your mickey mouse "statistics" don't even take into account the extremely biased phase space of real molecular systems, which represents an astronomical reduction in the improbability of the conformations in question. If you keep throwing up petrol-soaked strawmen, people with a modicum of science and mathematical ability will continue to torch them.

And your reduction tof the wonder of life to random combinations of mud, water, and rocks (i.e. life accidentally came from non-living objects) serves only to belittle and further degrade our school systems and society into a godless, government-worshipping, self-indulgent country that will fall just like every other great civilization.

Your ultimate message is this: "Life means nothing. You came from random chemical reactions and exist only to procreate. There is no being who created anything. When you die, you will be dead and gone forever. If you can get away with it on this earth, you will never have to answer for it. You have no more right to live than a bacteria because you are nothing more than a descendent of bacteria."

With a message like that, there should be no wonder that our children have little value for human life. Yet all in the name of your god, "science", you plow steadily on and to hell with the consequences.
