Numbers! May God bless you sir, for it is a rare evolutionist who is willing to consider them.

I'd like to move furhter with this. Can you help me follow up on this mathematical model?

First you assume that 20% of the population has the information for wings. Do you mean that 20% of the population have the wing gene intact, or that any given individual has 20% of the whole infoset needed for wings? If the latter, does another member of this group have a different 20%?

It doesn't matter the law of averages says that the recombination will occur on occasion. My example is very simple and isn't how genes work exactly, in any case, so its just an example of why the genes would recombine and isn't meant to be taken literally. To discuss the specifics we need a classroom type forum and an internet debate won't work.

As to numbers I'm quite willing to discuss numbers but it is difficult to discuss anything on a forum like this especially when most people don't even have a grasp of simple genetics much less basic knowledge of how DNA works.

As to the number crack I have noticed when creationists discuss numbers they tend to exaggerate the meaning or not grasp the concepts so why would anyone bother to discuss it with them. I have on numerous occasions sought a meaningful discussion only to be insulted which you probably will engage in as you have already sank to back-wards insults of all evolutionists.
