Evolution has been Disproven

Do you know that probability is expressed as a number between 0 and 1? "10 to the oh 1200th or so power" is not a number between 0 and 1 and can thus never be the probability of anything.What do you mean by "law of probability is 10 to the 50th power"? It is a meaningless statement to me.

How many million times do you need to have it explained to you, that randomness is just part of the story? I guess the words "natural selection" are only ever mentioned after you wedge your fingers tightly into your ears upon hearing the word 'random'. Usually, if you have identified a way in which it is "ABSOLUTELY, COMPLETELY, impossible" for something to have happened, it's probably the way in which it did happen. Or, to use a priceless Sean Connery quip: "It's impossible, but doable." No. It just takes intelligence to understand it.This message has been edited by Parasomnium, 09 February 2005 21:43 AM

You and Mammuthus are rewriting history.

I've seen the posts of both of you before the edits. But others may not have. In this case, it's not a big deal, but in a real discussion it might pose great problems for others to follow the argument if people start editing their posts. So it's a bad example. If it is really necessary to edit a post, it's best to comment on the edits, annotating them as it were. Or you can draw a line through what you would have deleted use strikethrough.

Hi Percy,That was a very boring quite an amusing example you gave there. It really made me so angry laugh out loud, you are a real joker.But seriously, I understand what you mean. As I said, in the case at hand it isn't very important, and I realise of course that it's not very sensible to strike through an insult, leaving it visible for posterity. But I've seen a normal reply (well, sort of normal anyway) to me being changed so as to mean something altogether different, which muddled the discussion for other readers.To my mind, the best way to edit a post is to add comment at the end of it, to clarify what was changed. And if one wants to take back an insult, one could simply say that an insult was replaced by whatever one mentions next. The only case of editing needing no comment, in my opinion, is the correction of language errors such as in spelling or grammar.My apologies for getting this thread even further derailed than it is already.{edited to replace an insult with "real joker"}This message has been edited by Parasomnium, 11 February 2005 22:11 AM
