Re: Intelligent Design = Design Margin

welcome to the fray, mg1962.

Ya, 'n dem Ford SUVs drove real sweet 'til you took a corner a tad too fast. Not sure what the universal counterpart to fast cornering is

I guess a semi-trailer rolling over would be a black hole ...

Contradiction in terms ... btw ...

By the way, as far as a statistical impossibility goes, ...

btw ... I hope you (and everyone else) realizes that "statistical impossiblity" is NOT an oxymoron but an actual contradiction:

If it is impossible, then there is no statistical question, the results are known.

If there is a statistical question, then it is not impossible -- no matter how improbable it is, it still could {be true \ have happened}.

... I do think that it is worthwhile looking at the number of things that are required to be exactly correct for us to exist and then come to your own conclusion about which is most likely; good luck or good design.

But all you are doing is making uneducated (because nobody knows) guesses based on faith and employing the post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy.

Enjoy.

Re: off topic

Welcome to the fray warner,

If you want to pursue the "improbability" question, we have a couple threads where it is the topic. One of them is the the old improbable probability problem, see in particular Message 23, Message 25 and Message 34.

Any topic you want to talk about, there may be a thread already discussing it, and if not, one can be started.

Enjoy.
