MY bad....i thought Dawkins was criticizing Spetner...
That should explain most of my post
Of course, Spetner could have made the odds even worse....if he had specified that the hands were dealt in order, or that the suits had to proceed in a certain order.
The funny thing Avo, is that in this case we all know what cards we have and what hands we are trying to achieve. You cannot provide either of those details when trying to calculate the complexity of life. I suppose you could specify the current state of all life, but why deny alternate paths? That would be like artificially increasing your odds by requiring that the hands are dealt in numerical order.
