The only "number" that was put on the conjecture that OJ killed his wife was the sequence comparison of his DNA to the blood recovered at the scene.

That number was a match of 1 in 720 million. The jury, like a bunch of creationists, rejected that evidence because it was still probability obtained by a scientific method they did not understand.

Well, in that case, on a planet of six billion, it's likely that about eight people match that genetic profile. Undoubtedly all eight of them lived in LA, had access to the crime scene, and had a motive for killing OJ's ex-wife.... </Johnny Cochran mode>

You really are twisting the facts! It is ID which says that something which has one chance in an almost infinite amount of tries cannot be true. It is evolutionists which say we should wait for a 'hopeful monster' to make the odds better. The problem is though that with each advance in science, the odds for evolutionists and atheists keep getting worse so there is no reason to expect such an event. The sole 'refutation' that evo/atheists have for ID is that perhaps, possibly, maybe, someday, something which they do not have the vaguest idea of what it could be will be found to support their theory. Hate to tell you that is not science, that is an inveterate refusal to acknowledge reality.
