But, further, as I showed in the rest of the post, random processes will,
given time enough and a cumulative process such as I describe, *do*
generate every *possible* string of information of a given length. This is
not open to serious question, because it is too trivial to refute.
Nelson:
The key thing to ask is can natural processes produce CSI. Can natural
selection/random mutation produce CSI from scratch. That is something
evolution cannot do. Evolution works with things that are already lying
around.

That's of course an unsupported assertion. That evolution cannot lead to CSI.
As Wesley Elsberry has shown this is an erroneous assertion.
