I see. So let me ask you this. How does this have an analogy in the chemical processes that might occur to create DNA? I don't think Mr. Watson appreciates the differerences between reality and the statistics he generates, and I wish to see if you understand the fundamental differences between his argument and how the world really works. Do you?
Yes, I do. The analogy that applies to chemical processes just as it applies to the works of Shakespeare, in the sense that randomness forms either, is that in DNA chemical processes store data just as in Hamlet data is stored.
Therefor the same math applies to randomness forming either Hamlet or useful DNA because we are using the math to illustrate the improbability of structured, organized data self-forming randomly in a chaotic, natural, unintelligent, unaided environment.
The link in Post #310 shows the results of mathematical calculations for the improbability of 17 Billion environments over 17 Billion years ever randomly forming the first line of data in Hamlet as being essentially 1 (valid to 14 decimal places). That doesn't bode well for the chances of a single planet forming more than the first sentence in even less time (the Earth is not 17 Billion years old), much less the collected works of Shakespeare or something even more complex such as the DNA code for life itself.
