Atheism V's Theism.

Quite a few physicists would look at your Intelligent Design claptrap and :-/

 

First: the difference between your comment and mine is that my comment was directed at someone who said that 'odds are irrelevant' - a statement so entirely bubbleheadedly false to be laughable. Your comment is about personal opinion of biased physicists who cannot refute anything I've said. Are you going to actually attempt to defend the idea that statistical probability of chance is irrelevant? Please do: we need more reason to laugh at stupidity in this thread.

Second: what ID 'claptrap' are you specifically laughing at? I would love to see you refute something I've said with any substance whatsoever. Shapiro's results have been confirmed, and are unassaible. You have absolutely nothing to say about it; it's clear that the topic itself is far over your head.

 

I am atheist. I don't believe in any gods, not even the IPU.

 

Fair enough, thanks for the correction.

That is false though. Non-zero is non-zero. "Statistically impossible" is a vernacular phrase meaning "the probability is so low that I don't think it's even worth considering." In other words, it's an opinion. Although you're right to mention 10^50 as it's considered a common cutoff for considering a probability too low to be worth considering. The problem is this one-size-fits-all approach doesn't actually fit all.

You said anything else would be a failure. Failure to do what?
