Show it!
and much mathematical evidence against it......
You'll have to consult Dembski for that one........or another scientist who's come up with such figures, as there have been many.
You seem to have troulbe understanding this point:
You have made a claim. You have to back it up.
You claim the math comes to a certain conclusion. If you wish to keep putting that forward it is up to you to summarize the input assumptions, the logic and the calculations used.
It has already been pointed out to you that, basically, all such arguments are meaningless. We simply do not know enough to make any sensible calculations. There is, therefore, no proof that life could have arisen by any speculated paths and, just as strongly, no proof that it could not have.
If you wish to formally claim that lack of knowledge is a good way to prove something then please do so. This is a god-of-the-gaps argument. Is that what you are coming down to?

Off Topic and annoying
All of that is off topic here. Fine tuning is not the topic.
In addition, do not make large copy and pastes like that again. Make a link to reference it and pick the more relevant parts that you'd like to high light. Then discuss how they are useful in the discussion at hand.
