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 what mathematical calculation do you plan to use to arrive at this probability? If you were going to say "(1/4)^N", you're wrong.

And then we can watch Evolutionists go either ballistic or into denial at said number.

Or we can explain to you why your attempted mathematical analysis is on par with a grade-school approach to the real problem.

Such is the impact math has...

To have an impact, math first has to be correct, based on a full understanding of the problem being modeled.

I'm fine with you inventing a strawman calculation that I never wrote, only to "knock it down" yourself, if you will at least post your own calculation for the probability in question.

What is your calculation?

You do have one, right??
