Ever have any sort of a math course beyond HS algebra?

Does college statistics suffice?

In your c ase, apparently not. I was a math major in school, 70+ semester hours, professional degrees, and it's obvious enough to me that evolution is not compatible with the basic laws of probability.

Basically, I might be willing to listen to a theory which required one or two probabilistic miracles in the entire history of the planet, but evolutrion requires a transfinite series of zero-probability events and that just stands everything we know about modern mathematics and probability theory on its head. You can either believe in modern mathematics or in evolution, but not both at the same time.

I mean, the fools who believe in that bullshit even talk about "climbing Mount Improbable", which is the title of one of Dawkins' books if memory serves. It isn't like they don't know the whole thing is fubar.
