The argument about probabilities is completely scientific. A theory which requires one or two probabilistic miracles in the entire history of the Earth or solar system might be entertained by serious/competent people; a theory which stands everything we know about probability on its head, a theory which requires an infinite sequence of zero-probability events to even get started.... nobody who is completely logical and rational and has any sort of an understanding of modern mathematics entertains such a theory.

Check out the quadrillion-year time frame link and the link to the WISTAR symposia. You had a series of symposia in which a number of the world's best mathematicians told the evos they were totally out to lunch and the evos have been in a state of denial since then. When you get guys like Fred Hoyle and Bob Bass saying the same thing on the subject, you can take it to the bank. Modern mathematics and evolution are incompatible; deal with it.

I have a friend who works at a bioinformatics firm, he has a real doctorate in mathematics. I'll ask him if he thinks evolution is incompatible with math.
