Comments on Bill’s math class

That is indeed Behe’s model. He also assumes roughly half of alternative amino acid substitutions are nonfunctional. Not just deleterious(there is no degree of fitness in Behe & Snoke)*, nonfunctional.

  • Edit I see I misremember. They do model the selection coefficient of the novel function-creating gene (not any intermediate mutations), just to include the probability that they’re lost before fixation.
