Gee you must be peeved, Nobias. Some guy named Schroeder plagiarising your argument from incredulity without attributing it to you. At least having you here means that you will be able to address the deficiencies in the arguemnt, doesn't it?
So, how about we apply those silly probability calculations to the cytochrome c protein. Which of the multitude of variants which are found in different species is the perfect one for which you calculate the probability of producing by random chance? Will you use the human version or the Tetrahymena verion which shares less than 50% identity with the human version. I suppose you would start your probability calulation by determining the total possible viable versions of cytochrome c. Tell us that number when you work it out and we can work on the next step.
