Re: Predictions and Discoveries
You can rebutt my argument only one way - by showing the empirical ratio of meaningful information to total sequence space of information that represent existing bio-structures and which is in line with available resources in evolution.
Nobody knows how to calculate your "meaningful information" or " total sequence space of information" since you have failed to define what you mean by "information". An operational definition is the first step. Ball's in your court.
But pointing out that you have misunderstood your numbers and they are not relevant is rebutting your claims.

If you have evidence it was pre-programmed, post it.
Your claim, your job to support it.
Since there is no evidence it was pre-programmed, and plenty of evidence it was a random mutation, we concluded that it was not pre-programmed. Evidence to the contrary is welcome.
