Thank you so much for your thorough and engaging post, StJacques!

I have a reply - not surprisingly focused on Yockey and the subject of "information theory and molecular biology" - but it is related both to this subject of abiogenesis and also to the complexity discussion on the other thread.

To post it in both places would be "spamming", so because it contains information to help define the "information theory/complexity" issues, I've posted it to the other thread.

For anyone interested, please follow this link to post 150.

I just did a quick read of that post Alamo-Girl and I'm coming back here to let you know that I'm aware it is there, but I also recognize that we are heading into a discussion about "randomness" and I am hoping Doctor Stochastic, who I am pinging here, may help out as a "moderator" on this subject, since we want to be careful to keep the friendly tone of the discussion intact. And I think we may need to get our discussion of "randomness" in and of itself well in hand before we apply probability theory to molecular biology, as Yockey's work will bring us to do. I want to repeat what I posted above, that I do take Yockey seriously and I want our discussion of him to reflect that fact.

So Doctor Stochastic, if you get a free moment, could you comment on what I posted above in #281 on randomness? And if you, or anyone else for that matter, can think of others whose opinions may be useful please ping them as well.

And Alamo-Girl, I'm still pretty busy, but I want to get back on the "Atheist" thread and catch up to you. I'm just stopping by now for a minute while I'm between work tasks.
