I'll have to add this to the conversation: If you went to an elementary school grade, that consisted of say... 40 kids. Each have their birthday on one of 365 days of the year. So the odds of all the kids having their exact birthdays on the days that they have them is 1:40*365 = 1:14 600. Does this make it logical to postulate an intelligent designer of this entire grade of kids? I just had to bring it up, because this is my favourite argument when someone brings up the probability of life. EDIT: No wait, is the probability (1/365)^40? Argh i'm too tired for math atm. but the point is, the probability is insanely low. |
I knew I was missing something.
I like the b-day challenge because we had a few kids in our grade have the same birthday due to the possible combinations between students.
To be fully honest, it's something I'd like to look into, but I think the numbers I heard were low probability even considering the combinations. I think the case was pretty solid math. I'll come up with something soon, but if I forget, we know each other (I saw you in the Maelstrom thread a while ago) just knock on my wall.
