You are intellectually dishonest. Etc. Etc.

Many explanations have been given on this thread besides mine (which were brief).

You want me to extract Windows XP from DOS with a 96 byte key. My question is, what are the assumptions you take to make such a question relevant to evolution or origin of life in the first place? Several assumptions, such as calculating probabilities of specific sequences of DNA randomly forming in a single step, are flawed, as "edsheppa" has patiently pointed out. Another assumption is that early life was based on the same DNA-context it is today. The simplest enzymatically active RNAs, for example, are only 40 bp in length. Laboratory produced self-replicating RNAs are around 200. Certainly you understand that the demand for an "amoeba" is a jump?

The possibilities for ways in which life did not form are infinite. The trick is in finding hypotheses for how it could have formed. And some of these hypotheses are more valid, or science-based than others. That's all. We know life is here. We know it formed somehow. And how life progressed since then is a historical/scientific theory with strong supporting data.

"You want me to extract Windows XP from DOS with a 96 byte key. My question is..."

It's been more than 100 posts since I demonstrated the flaw in your claim that Windows XP could be "extracted" from DOS via bitflips. To expose that flaw, I used a cryptography analogy and tied that analogy to Watson's math for this thread.

It's a little late for more of your nonsensical questions at this point. Either you can extract Windows XP from DOS or you can't.

I say that you can't, based upon the math in this thread as well as the fact that no Key or Algorithm has been produced for such a task.

If you still want to defend your initial claim that you Can extract Windows XP from DOS, then "simply" show the Key and the Algorithm (e.g. bitflips, complex equations, whatever) necessary.
