If you still don't understand the math and how it applies, perhaps Post 557 will help you gain a little insight...

It is already crystal clear that the math applies only to itself. The concept of evolution has nothing to do with what can, will or must happen in the future. A hundred more pages of eqations wouldn't acomplish any more than the first non-answer page. Evolutionary concepts only look back, they predict nothing.

The very bottom line is you can't prove that a million monkeys can't type Shakespeare because you can't prove a negative. All the number shaking does is to create a distraction from the real focus of evolutionary theory. The number shaking proposes a model that doesn't work. It doesn't work because it trys to predict. It fails on purpose.

Post 557 proposes an analogy. IF genetics works just like computer programing, THEN the analogy would be relevant. The problem is, genetics is not "information." Information is an analogy used to explain genetics, but not genetics itself. Genetics has to do with biochemical reactions, not bits of information.

To address the probabilities of all the potential biochemical reactions in the universe, you would need a mathamatical model that takes into account all the known and unknown factors in the universe.

Here's what all the known factors tell us: Life exists. The known factors do not tell us why or how. The unknown factors don't tell us anything because they are unknown.
