Mutation calculations for a “simple” cell

Revised Simple Cell Calculations

I had to revise my original calculations based on more reliable numbers. As with any good science, when new information is obtained, my observations are corrected as necessary. To see the original calculations, go to www.youngearthcreation.org/original_simple_cell_calculations.htm.

Assumptions

These calculations ride on four (4) assumptions, which may be incorrect, but which are not detrimental, and if there are mistakes revealed, then they should only enhance my case.

Assumption 1:

I assumed that Ian Juby was correct in The Complete Creation when he said that there were 20 types of amino acids

Assumption 2:

I assumed that Russ Miller was correct when it was stated that a simple cell required 600 proteins

Assumption 3:

I assumed that the average protein for this cell required 100 amino acids (the average protein is 200 amino acids long, and the longest is more than 20,000 long, so 100 is a very reasonable figure for these calculations)

Assumption 4:

I assumed that, for the sake of statistics and calculations, this imaginary simple cell was as simple as it could get, meaning it has 600 proteins of 100 amino acids each

Calculations

If you have read the article I wrote on the large protein calculations, then you already know the math part of it (at least the basic principles and properties). The setup was literally the same – copy and paste the large protein calculations table and then modify it for the numbers for this problem.
