I think if you are going to write on the subject of abiogenesis you are going to have to master organic chemistry and study current research. You can’t simply do probability calculations when you don’t know what events form the basis of the calculation.

No one thinks RNA or DNA formed in one step. Calculations that assume this are simply wasted time. This is really in the hands of chemists now.

js is literally all over the map betty boop, it appears to me he's rattled, because I recall hearing from him when it came to abiogenesis it was all about biology.

Do you disagree with Hubert Yockey, as quoted in #55?

"The reason that there are principles of biology that cannot be deduced from the laws of physics and chemistry lies not in some esoteric philosophy but simply in the mathematical fact that the genetic information content of the genome for constructing even the simplest organisms is much larger than the information content of those laws. Chaitin has examined the complexity of the laws of physics by actually programming them. He finds the complexity amazingly small. [i.e., Chaitin estimates it at 103 bits.]"

Cordially,
