I am not quite sure why you are failing to comprehend the difference between a "demonstration" and an "example" but please...

You keep repeating the same thing, but you aren't saying anything. Let me phrase the exact same mathematical problem a different way, with a real live "example" included.

Last week a woman picked a sequence of Lotto numbers in the state lottery. The random ball drawing machine (which is required to be mathematically random) pulled the exact same sequence of numbers that the woman had selected out of the entire combinatorial space. Furthermore, the random ball drawing machine is capable of pulling all possible combinations of numbers that anyone could possibly choose. And if you played the same numbers over and over again, eventually the random ball drawing machine would draw your numbers (although "eventually" is longer than the average human lifespan in all probability). I assume you agree with all this since it is how the lotto system actually works for the most part.

Now assume that the numbers that the woman selected are actually decimal opcodes for a computer architecture (a number is a number) and the sequence she selected is the opcode sequence for a useful program. Are you telling me that the lotto ball machine is suddenly incapable of randomly returning her sequence of numbers because the sequence of numbers she chose is "useful" in another context?

...and your "example" of something like this actually taking place is?

This is a great discussion and I have learned a lot. I am an engineer and am very biased towards the design point of view. Let's take this back to the very beginning i.e.. the first living cell in the ocean or wherever the first form of life was incubated. Did that cell not only evolve to include all animal life but also all plant life? Did plant life come into being spontaneously or did a mutant blade of grass grow into a tree? What drove that cell evolve in the first place? What possible pressures could have been put on that organism to change since by it's very uniqueness it had no natural enemies or threat to it's existence? Natural selection requires an outside threat or need to force an adaptation or evolution true or false?
