What is the chance that any of these hundred sequences will fit snuggly in the organism and be beneficial and useful? Next to none.
​
How are you calculating these odds? What do you mean when you say "useful and beneficial"? Beneficial with respect to what?
​
This sounds like you don't want it to be probable, so you're unwilling to believe that it is probable. I don't understand why I should credit your personal opinion any more than anybody else's.

Start with SCIENCE and then see if you can make the application. (BTW) on the color spectrum example? What are all those? Colors. What did you start with? Colors.
​
What did we start with? Living things. What did we wind up with? Living things.

I don't see what we decide to call a "squirrel" or not has any relevance. The Folk Concept of Species is not relevant to this discussion.
