Brian:
<<Joseph claimed he was giving a probability wrt the evolution of a protein when as a matter of fact he gave a result valid only for pure chance.>>

That's what I tried to point out. His data did not address the probability of the evolution of a protein.

Brian: <<This is immediately obvious to anyone who takes a look at Yockey's book. The number Joseph quoted appears in a section of the book with the title <9.2 The probability of generating
protein sequences by chance>. >>

That was pretty obvious

Brian: <<I would invite Joseph once again either to (1) retract and apologize or (2) answer the criticism.>>

That would be using the 'scientific method". Let's see how Joseph does respond. I still have not given up all hope.
