The estimated number of genes varies with the researcher, but say take 30,000. This could be compared to 30,000 sentences. The Bible might have 30,000 sentences.

But . . .

Look at the structure of the human brain, just one human brain of roughly 3 pounds and the color and consistency of cream cheese. Mostly fat, not the fat-free cream cheese.

It has some large number of neurons, an alphabet of 1 member, but each neuron is connected to 10,000 other neurons. There is an infinite quality to the brain, even though it has only one letter in its alphabet.

How many blues songs are there from the musical alphabet of 12 notes? Note bending is allowed here and there according to the rules. 10 million?

How many books have been written in English, not counting plagiarized versions, or even allowing plagarized works and xeroxed copies? One billion from an alphabet of 26 letters?

The point is that our physical bodies, while complex, might not be extraordinarily complex. Even allowing for the cream cheese brain.

Yes, but let's make the problem simpler to give the argument of Evolution a fighting mathematical chance.

How many DNA codons would we expect to see in the simplist known gene? Since we know that there are only four DNA codons (also called "letters" on this thread), we can calculate the precise probability / improbability of the natural, unaided self-formation of the data for a single gene once we agree upon how many codons are in a gene.

And then we can watch Evolutionists go either ballistic or into denial at said number. Such is the impact math has...
