[T]he probability of finding a functional protein by chance alone is a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion times smaller than the odds of finding a single specified particle among all the particles in the universe. – Stephen C. Meyer, Signature in the Cell, 212.

I believe the response of the materialist scientist would be to call for more research into the mechanisms by which a functional protein might form. Perhaps with further knowlege the odds might turn out to be different from those quoted?
You are right. Meyer’s book carefully unravels any such cause for optimism. I plan to review the book quite soon. Thanks for dropping bye.
