So Darwinists have some limited understanding of probability. Would that they apply it more broadly.
I thought all this Darwin stuff was layin' flat.

If you're interested in learning about evolution, visit The List-O-Links.
If you'd like to understand the concept of speciation, visit Micro-evolution, Macro-evolution, and Speciation.
If you're serious about debating this issue, see How to argue against a scientific theory.
If you're permanently stuck on stupid, but determined to post anyway, use the Evolution Troll's Toolkit.
but... but... the Bible says God made the world in seven days!
LOL
I didn't know that natural selection was ever in doubt.
"The odds are against evolution"
See, no problem with statistics.
I'll just note that the evos have a prepared list of insults in their pocket at all times.
How do you explain TROP?
In a calculation similar to Hoyle's, mathematician Roger Penrose has estimated that the probability of a universe with our particular set of physical properties is one part in 1010123 (Penrose 1989). However, neither Penrose nor anyone else can say how many of the other possible universes formed with different properties could still have lead to some form of life. If it is half, then the probability for life is fifty percent.Well, one part if 1010123 is really one part in 10 to the power of 10123, but that may just be a error in mine or their HTML.[http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/cosmo.html]
Still, I guess, to mathematical idiots or Ascended Beings and Darwinists, 1/2 sounds passably close to 1/10 to the power of 10123. ;-)
Yet we have "positive statistics" from which we are free to extrapolate support for our anterior assumptions. The whole experiment was undertaken in hopes the results would meet all expectations. How can "natural selection" be a "driving force," when in fact it is merely an arbitrary way of explaining what has already taken place? If there is any driving force involved it will be energy itself, not a concatenation of ascriptions cobbled up by wishful thinkers.
Nevertheless, the researchers decided to do the best they could with the information available. . . . . . .
Dont you just love science?
Some 5000 years ago!
Funk and his colleagues realized that if they used the results of these studies and added an ecological dimension then they would have an approach capable of measuring the link between natural selection and reproductive isolation.
I can think of a couple of on going experiments that refute the natural selection evolution theory quite well.
The first is dogs. Man has removed dogs from the environment and breeding population of wolves for at least 50,000 years. The physical appearance and behavioral make up of dogs has become much different than that of wolves and yet they can breed quite well.
The second is man. Many instances of populations of human populations are isolated for thousands of years in diverse environments and yet when those populations are introduced to other populations breeding readily takes place.
Another would be horses with the same circumstances as dogs and the same out come.
Man has been doing what by Darwins theory says should produce new species that can not reproduce with the old species for tens of thousands of years yet man has failed to produce a new species. Dogs are still wolves in reality and horses are still horses.
O.K. So how do I put this knowledge to practical use...?
How will this bit of knowledge help me live a better, more successful, healthier, happier life?
I'm sure that scientists spent a good bit of money proving something that they already believe (just like creationists do, btw), but it doesn't protect me from TROP, illegal immigrants, higher taxes, bird flu, or democrats.
At the end of the day, this study raises only one question in my mind, "So what?"
Evolution is a house of cards.
Here we see "new evidence" added to an unproven and unscientific hypothesis. The evidence must favor the Darwinian take.
