Origin of Life (Introduction)
I'm not trying to be awkward. These are things I simply don't understand, and I really appreciate your "playing the mathematician" and "trying to set things up to help us to reach a conclusion, one way or another...". In any case, the discussion is interesting in itself, so I hope my questions will be less of a hindrance than an aid to clarification.-Matt as a model math wizzard is trying for the perfect solution. His approach is perfectly correct. The problem as I see it is that we can make no potential theoretical advances, allowing some philosophic direction to our thinking, if we are playing now for the end game. Shapiro, Dembski, Behe and others use the odds of available molecules over an unspecified, but not instantaneous, period of time, to fall together by chance to make some meaningful result, and those odds are enormously negative.
