"It isn't a question of having different numbers. Your premise is wrong. You are calculating the odds of a random process and infering a meaning relating to DNA, but DNA formation isn't a random process. It's a meaningless excercise."

"Random" simply means unaided by any intelligent bias. Are you certain that you want to claim that the first DNA wasn't randomly formed?

"Random" simply means unaided by any intelligent bias.

No, that is NOT what random means. Sure, the word is often used by creationists as if it meant that, but they are wrong.

This is very simple. DNA formation, and evolution, are not random processes. Calculations of any odds based on randomness have no bearing on evolution or DNA.

"Random" simply means unaided by any intelligent bias.

more accurately, it means incompressible.

"Random" simply means unaided by any intelligent bias.

This means that naturally occurring bias doesn't rule out "random", of course. (Is this your definition of "random"?)
