[[I couldn’t RECOMMEND Vishnu and/or Vishnuism... But if all you require is something to replace evoloserism with, Vishnu will do. In fact almost anything would be an improvement; you could not do worse than a brain-dead ideological doctrine which stands everything we know about modern mathematics and probability theory on its head by demanding an infinite series of zero-probability events and violations of probabilistic laws. The great pumpkin and pumpkinism would do for that matter.]]
Well said- but sadly most evos will simply ignore the fact that evolution requires infinite zero-probability events to occure, (Despite evidence for even one simplistic zero probability biological event occuring i nthe real world) and will insist that because water freezes into geometric patterns, that ‘anything is possible’, and nature ‘could have’ violated the second law trillions of times, and will continue insisting that hitting hte lottery is on equal footing the zero probability involved in biological events, and will keep insisting falsely that ‘because a large group of monkeys ‘could produce works of shakespear’ (Which is false- an earth fully populated with monkeys, given infinate paper ink and ribbon for hteir typewriters, could not produce even a single 15 word sentance with all the proper spaces and punctuations inplace even given hundreds of billions of years in which they were constantly typing- but the myth that they ‘could duplicate the works of shakespear’ still persists to this day despite the actual facts)
What's really ironic about the whole thing is the use of statistics by scientists to demonstrate everything else they want to verify.
When statistics can be used to verify things, it's used. When it goes to demonstrate that their little belief system will fall down around their ears, statistics are meaningless.
Rather hypocritical the use of mathematics when it comes to supporting pet theories.
