However, you will just have achieved it.<BR/><BR/>The probability of something occuring being favorable or unfavorable is not evidence in favor of or opposed to it, unless that probability is 0 or 1.<BR/><BR/>As far as Dr. Ruse's comments, while I do support the theory of evolution, I disagree with the statements he has made here. You are correct to identify the false claim he has made here. I cannot comment on Dr. Ruse's general opinions, as I do not know them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22328391.post-1142535958763504042006-03-16T14:05:00.000-05:002006-03-16T14:05:00.000-05:00I don't think anyone who believes completely in ev...I don't think anyone who believes completely in evolution is well versed in math. The mathematical probability of a genetic sequence that describes a self supportive being happening at random (as in without an intelligent being directing it) is rediculously astronomical. It's so out there that anyone who honestly believes in evolution probably considers a lotto ticket a wise investment.Dan Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519048076998229138noreply@blogger.com
