"the odds against evolutionism are uncountable, as opposed to merely infinite." I'd be impressed if you could explain the difference. Cantor is always fun.

And since it happens, the odds are irrelevant.

"Uncountable" or "undenumerable" means the infinity of the real numbers as opposed to that of the integers/rationals. In order to distinguish the two, notions of "bigger" and "littler" had to be expanded somewhat. "Bigger" in set theory means that you can devise a function from the larger set onto the smaller but you can't devise a one-to-one function from the larger into or onto the smaller. "Smaller" might also be viewed as meaning you can devise a one-to-one function from the smaller set onto some subset of the larger, but you can't devise a function from the smaller ONTO the larger. With those distinctions, various orders of infinity can be described.

The Gnome Galeon browser appears to work here so I'm not going to have to go back to RedHat 7.2 this morning, but it was down to about one. Netscape for LINUX is not fully functional and Mozilla is totally hosed on 7.3 and doesn't work at all. Phone calls to redhat are the next item on the mornings agenda...
