Sorry, but majoring in math or statistics does not qualify anyone as an expert in any life science. Therefore, claiming that such a background makes one as qualified to speak about such a topic as someone who studied life sciences exclusively for several years is unjustified.

You should continue past calculus. Just sayin'. You have your ridiculous beliefs and I have mine, Mine makes sense from a probability mathematical point of view and well yours don't.

Question: Should evolutionary processes be described as an analog system or a discrete system? If you don't understand my question then I rest my case. Evolution is nothing but conjecture and speculation and quite frankly ridiculous.

For whatever logical reason would I want to waste time and money studying mathematics that I'll never use, and will forget within a few months anyway?

*You* might try to take some basic biology classes. Once you understand the theoretical and empirical basis for evolution, you might learn how to *appropriately* assign probability functions to the analysis of evolutionary mechanisms.

We don't typically discuss biology in terms of data processing systems. Evolution is an ongoing and continuous process, the mechanisms of which are acting on every cell in your body at this instant. Evolution is only "ridiculous" if you have decided that, no matter what, you're going to interpret a moralistic Bible book as if it were a literal account of events.
