Well if you don't know, then how can you know the probabilities?AttentionKMartShoppers wrote:I'm asking you. How did they form? The chemicals present during Earth's atmosphere gives you no (or, to make sure I don't leave myself open, possibly one or two...) amino acids.
Come on, BGood, I hope you get a clue for Christmas. The mathematics of probability are well understood. Let me give you an example. There are 9 horses in a race. What are the odds that a specified horse will win ? 1 in 9 or 0.11111. Isn't it obvious how math can be used to solve problems ?BGoodForGoodSake wrote:Well if you don't know, then how can you know the probabilities?
I'm not talking probability. I'm saying the chemicals did not exist in early atmosphere to make amino acids. It's like having a nuclear warhead without uranium/plutonium in it-the probability that there will be a nuclear explosion is zero-because the ingredients don't exist for there to be oneBGoodForGoodSake wrote:Well if you don't know, then how can you know the probabilities?AttentionKMartShoppers wrote:I'm asking you.

Yes but what if we don't know which race in which country and how many horses are in the race.sandy_mcd wrote:Come on, BGood, I hope you get a clue for Christmas.

But how can you tell me that these chemicals did not exist if you don't even know how they formed? Are you certain they did not exist?AttentionKMartShoppers wrote:I'm not talking probability.

My word...a glaring non sequitor and nonsense...lolBut how can you tell me that these chemicals did not exist if you don't even know how they formed? Are you certain they did not exist?

Bgood wrote:One major problem I see with the article is it is saying that the chances of a DNA sequence to correctly encode for a functioning protein are very small. The problem with this is that if I mixed nucleic acids in a vial and shake them around the chances of some of the chains encoding for a protein becomes almost 100%. Its like a quantum computer, all the solutions resolve at once and nature sorts out the ones which work.
