But just saying that I am wrong is just pointless and rude.

Jack, you have already admitted that you are making up your own simplified version of science just to try and convince pete of the error of his ways so I don't see how you can expect to be taken seriously. To describe your assertion that "there are trillions of reproductive events so it is probable that all combinations have occurred" as "wrong" doesn't really do it justice. "Bizarre" would be better. Do the maths. Guess a few numbers. Ir doesn't have to be accuate, a few orders of magnitude each way is close enough. Life on Earth probably started about three billion years ago. Here are some genome sizes to get you started ftp://www.fourmilab.ch/pub/goldberg/sizes.html .
