The problem is with the basic laws of mathematics and probability, with which evolution is essentially incompatible. A reasonable person could entertain a theory which required one or possibly even two probabilistic miracles in the history of the universe, or possibly even in the history of our own planet.

But evolution(ism) requires infinite series of probabilistic miracles and zero-probability events. That basically stands everything we know about modern mathematics and probability theory on its head.

It has been my most common experience across the years to find that when a creationist makes the claim that "evolution is mathematically impossible," they are generally just repeating what somebody else has told them and would have no idea how to actually go about performing that calculation. In the rare instance where they actually try to propose one, they have every single time built a model that had nothing to do with evolution.

I'd love to see you try and defend your assertion here with an actual calculation. Because I am happy to show you your error and demonstrate that evolution is actually a statistical certainty.
