Lovely how you pick and choose what to reply to and what not. Pay attention to the rest of the post, and pretty much everything you just stated is entirely null and void.

Additionally, there is a point in probability where something becomes "statistically impossible", meaning that the chances of it happening are so ridiculously low that it can be considered impossible. I suppose that yes, it's theoretically possible. But considering the extremely low probability, it is statistically impossible.

For someone who claims to know a lot about science in general, you sure as hell know very little about scientific reasoning.

These terms all mean nothing unless you are using them in a discussion which includes an actual model and unless you present information about what the accepted deviations from that model are.  And until you do that, your claims are all completely meaningless since they you are criticizing a scientific model which you haven't even brought up in the first place.

Statistically impossible is a relative term and you haven't even related it to anything.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
