Re: the point
The point has been brought up in many other ID threads which I was suprized had not yet been mentioned here. What about taking into account all possible "acceptable" outcomes? 2^13 choose 1 is very different than 2^13 choose 2^12.
Of course knowing all these outcomes would be a necessary precursor to making any valid claims of probability in any environment.
Add this to the environmental factors you are talking about and it looks pretty clear that the very simplistic (big-number) choose 1 argument is quite insufficient for declaring something impossible.

FOX has a pretty good system they have cooked up. 10 mil people watch the show on the network, FOX. Then 5 mil, different people, tune into FOX News to get outraged by it. I just hope that those good, God fearing people at FOX continue to battle those morally bankrupt people at FOX.
