That would be (on average) one in twenty multiplied by one in twenty, 450 times for each protein, multiplied by 676 for the total number of proteins. Since 10 to the power of 50 is considered absurd, and the chances of correctly constructing each of the 676 proteins by chance is vastly more than 10 to the power of 50, this equates to zero probability that the aqueous humor proteins could develop by random chance.I suck at math, but clearly this is a very, very, very, VERY long argument from personal incredulity. You could have just said, "the human eye is just fucking craaaaazy, you guys!" Would have conveyed the exact same point, and saved all of us a lot of time.
Analyzing the random DNA mutations required to produce the proteins that form the eye reveals it to be not just unlikely but a statistical impossibility.

It gave them a far superior eye.I'm simply demonstrating the statistical impossibility that the eye evolved through DNA mutation. You should address this.

Of the two claims one is teetering on the edge of falsehood and arrogance. The other is on solid ground and humble.
One does not need belief to say "I don't know" and still be within the observable facts.
Can we stick to the issue, which is evidence for design? By showing you that random mutations of the DNA cannot produce the necessary structures to produce the eye, it leaves us with the inevitable conclusion that it has been designed.
