Hi John,

The problem I see with that line of reasoning is that if you take into account that a new species can only arise from a previous species, according to evolutionary theory, then you can only take into account the mutations that occur within the parent species.
This is a repetition of the first objection you made, and I responded to it.
I think Spofforth is making a conceptual math error from which he is not going to recover without assistance. Could you explain this again? Or perhaps use a simpler example using only a single population? Or maybe a progression of two examples, with the first being for a single population, and the 2nd for ten populations? I know its repetitive, but I think it might be worth it.
