Unlikely and low probability are synonymous. But it's amazing to me that evolutionist's would require a mathematical falsification to a non-mathematical theory. I have provided one either way but using your prowess as self proclaimed judge, you have rejected it. Either because you don't understand it or have failed to see the ramifications of the incredibly fruitless task that random mutations is required to provide to natural selection from even such a small sequence of 100 amino acids.Maybe, but exactly how unlikely has nothing to do with the probability calculation you presented earlier.
If you want to claim it is unlikely, you need to do a different calculation. And or some reason creationists never do THAT calculation, only the straw man calculation you were trying to peddle earlier.
I will admit that it is my opinion based on the fervor produced by the Lenski LTEE, the nylon eating enzymes and several others.You made the statement: "NS has produced no new information in vivo or in vitro."
You now seem to be tacitly admitting you have no evidence to support it. It was just you unsupported opinion.
First off, let me state that natural selection is a perfectly viable force. It is the reason that citrus farmers can not eradicate the fruit fly population because the flies become tolerant to one poison which requires a shifting in poisons to keep the population down. However, this is not because any new information has been produced in the fruit fly. If this were so, some pre-Grad biology student would have already have examined their DNA and published the results as a great victory for evolution. Natural selection is an adaptive force designed into species to ensure their survival. We don't ignore Natural Selection in fact we proclaimed it as a great design feature but as you have admitted NS can not produce information. So what this calculation represents in the insurmountable task that random mutations needs to overcome in order to present this information to NS.So then I agree that natural selection does not give information. The random mutation aspect does that.
Okay. So can you show me how your calculation models that process? I do not think it does.
And therefore you think you can simply ignore it?
I do not think God exists. Therefore I will pretend creationists claim animals just magically puffed into existence without a creator. That is clearly nonsense, and so I am justified in rejecting creationism. Good reasoning, you think?
Here is your calculationj:
The number of particles in the known universe is 10^80 (1 with 80 zeros) multiply this by the number of seconds since the big bang (i.e 14.25 billion year in seconds) and then Planck's constants (the number of events that can happen in one second), one comes up with a number of around 10^150. This is about 2^497 or rounding to 500 bits of information. So that 500 bits pre-flop (guessing the results of a 500 coin flip before flipping) is beyond the probabilistic resources of the universe. Each base pair has 4 possibilities (TAGC) or in information terms log(base 2) of 4 which is 2 bits of information per base pair. a modest 100 amino acid gene corresponds to 600 bits of information (1 codon x 3 b.p/codon x 2 bits per b.p. = 6 bits for each amino acid) mixed in with specified complexity makes this well beyond the scope of your hydrogen and oxygen comparison which is just the same molecule repeated endlessly.
Which bit is addressing natural selection? I have just re-read it, and cannot find. Am I wrong? Have I missed it?
Or have you chosen to omit it?
What I am claiming is that evolution is not a part of natural selection.Am I wrong? Are you going to claim you do not know natural selection is part of evolution? of course not.
