Origin's: Yockey's book
Dr. Fred Phelps (Fred.Phelps@cmich.edu)
Mon, 5 Jan 1998 15:58:29 -0500 I have not been on the list recently so forgive me if this has already
been discussed. I know Glenn Morton has written something on the problem
of the origin of life by chance using the anaolgy of the alphabet and the
English language as a test of what is functional (meaningful or
biologically "fit" showing that the odds are not insurmountable. I know
that Yockey has written a long and expensive book, presumably on the
probability of the information content of a protein being generated by
known physical laws and chance. I have heard that he concludes that the
probability is very low and the chance theory inadequate. Can someone give
an accurate summary of his work and claims and how it affects the
probability argument against the non-supernatural origin of life?
