I don't like someone coming on to this website and calling many (if not most) of the people here stupid, so I guess we each have to deal with something we don't like about each other.

But since you don't feel confident enough about your position to play along, I will just put it out there for you.

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.

Actually, depending on my level or respect for the source, I kind of like being called stupid. It gets the ol' adrenalin flowing for the ensuing fight. Didn't the Taliban call Dubya stoopid...?

Not to worry. Apparently the post (along with the poster) have been "sanitized" for our protection.

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."
