Aspasia: "I did follow the idea that the time span of the fossil record doesn't square with what is mathematically required by the genetic code."

All such mathematics are totally bogus, unrelated to any physical process and so pure hypothetical speculations.

They are "proof" of nothing.

I was looking for a star much higher. But the odds are against me.

I find Stephen Meyer's comment informative:

. . . by early 2000s there been a number of different experimental measures of the rarity of the functional genes and proteins versus all the gibberish sequences right and for a short fruit for example just one result for a short protein 150 amino acids long the ratio is one protein that will fold into a a functional structure for it compared to 10 to the 77th jibberish sequences so the ratio of functional to non-functional is 1 over 10 to the 77th power It's not just that the odds are prohibitive, the odds must also guarantee that in the end, the development of any activity is consistent any other development
