That's certainly incredible. Where did you get that figure? Given that
there are around 20,000 protein-coding genes, that means that each gene,
on the average, produces around 50 different proteins.

I really wasn't clear. But I would have thought that, by "each (protein) made up of _specific_ order of amino acids." That would have implied, each of the 1 kkk different protein.

Where do you get this insane number?
 

Note that he has now changed his claim from a million to a billion (except that kkk is a sufficiently non-standard usage that he can claim that this means most anything he wants, until he nails an interpretation to the mast). (Past usage, for the ages of the universe and the earth, fitted kkk=billion, but he could claim to be a YEC and that kkk means thousands.)
