Dales said - "Even if men do not understand fully the way things are, things are a particular way. The speed of light in a vacuum is exactly 299,792,458 m/s. Out of all the possibilities one could imagine, it is that. What are the odds of that? There are infinite possibilities as to what it could have been, but it is that. What are the odds then? One way, out of infinite possibilities. One over infinity. To me, that means that the odds that existance could have just happened are zero." My reply - "Hmmm, of course there can be an infinite number of that one possibility contained in an infinite set of differing possibilities. So your sum becomes Infinity divided by Infinity, which I guess by your logic would have to be 1. 1 over infinity isn't definitely zero anyway, so your logic is possibly flawed in other ways. Of course, I don't imagine that makes much difference to you, but perhaps I am wrong. I don't see why creationists feel the need to disprove evolution to justify their beliefs."

Until you can prove to me that there is more than one existence, then I would say the numerator remains one, not infinity.
