Lets say we want one protein 100 amino acids long (most are much more, the highest I think is like 27,000 amino acids long). You have 20 different amino acids to choose from. The correct one must be at its spot 100 times. It's like rolling a 20 sided die and getting the same number 100 times. So (1/20)^100 =7.89x 10^-131. This is like one in 10^130 tries. Just to give you an idea of how big this number is, there are thought to be like 10^65 atoms in the universe. This isn't even counting the fact that amino acids form peptide bonds with the help of enzymes in the body, and exist in one of two stereoisomers in nature, yet only one is used in proteins.(February 18, 2016 at 12:14 am)AAA Wrote: I love biology, and I know how it works. It's not that I don't understand them, it is that mutation is inadequate to account for the phenomena in the cell. It's easy to just tell me I know nothing, but you didn't answer the question. Because I think you know if you say yes you will be admitting to accepting the mathematically impossible.
"Mathematically impossible?" You obviously know little to nothing about evolution and not much more about biology. Yes, random mutations over time are part of how evolution works. Now, you got something relevant to back up that "mathematically impossible" claim with, or just what your pastor/priest/shaman/medicine man/witch doctor tells you every Sunday?
Seriously, educate yourself. Your mind will thank you.
