All five genetic letters of DNA and RNA in an asteroid

Up against? That's wrong.

How do you not see that as religion vs. science? There are plenty of scientists who can hold the two as compatible thoughts.

Religion and science are about the truth, since the only thing that constrains truth is reality. That does not automatically mean one is always wrong and the other right. One is static so it is either right or not, the other is mutable meaning it is always changing, so it is always hit or miss.

Nah.

Explain, or are you just going to be a vague naysayer here among others?

I already did multiple times.

So vague again

Nah I was clear and specific.

Hardly. I asked you to clarify your response to only one of my posts, and then you came back with, read everything you have ever written to me. That is neither clear nor specific.

So could it be specific OR clear, take your pick?

With those 5 genetic "letters" (A, G, C, T and U) you can form the following:

cat
cut
act
gut
tag
tug
cactus
tact
tutu
caucus
taut
gag

And other words. Dumbed out of a scrabble box there's a chance some of these letters could be formed.

One codon hardly equates to even a basic single celled organism.

There are 64 possible condom combinations and millions of those are required. Millions more as complexity increases.

Only 57 codons are needed to create E. coli bacteria. Not "millions".

Site won’t open for me for some reason, but I’ll take your word for it.

So much for my A level genetics back in the day 😄

Hopefully this one works for you. Here's bacterium with 500,000 base pairs rather than millions:

The odds/probablity of that sequence are what?
