It's improbable, not impossible. Two completely different things.

@Alterego - Just because there may be flaws to the theory of evolution, or any other theory for that matter, it doesn't automatically make the idea of a hirsute man hiding in the clouds any more logical.

"Creationists love probability because there really are an infinite number of ways to perform the calculations."

 

And all fail within the time frame of 4.5 billion years.

I never said impossible...

And alterego wasn't making that assessment. And deflecting a conversation about evolution towards "the man hiding in the clouds" doesn't help the case you're trying to defend. But, to humor you, believing in God has nothing to do with logic…because God defies logic. An example, it’s said that He named each star in the universe…so those who follow God, it's about faith not logic in the conventional sense (such as this argument). But slowly people are finding more and more evidence that supports creationist both in and OUT of the bible, such as artifacts, geological terrain, names, etc. But that’s another thread.

Besides being un-provable, I find that there's too many odd things surrounding most religious. For example, how can you possibly know that God does not want automatons when the beauty of faith is that you don't know?

God is a theory that seems the least plausible to me, that's all.

This is a discovery made in a last few years. No asteroids were involved in the making of the primordial ooze according to this theory. They occured naturally, and this has been proven by mixing together all the things we know for certain were in the primordial ooze. We don't have all the ingredients to make it so its like making a cake without knowing all the ingredients, its a victory when we produce batter, despite the fact that batter isn't cake. The meteorite theory is simply a different way of putting amino acids on earth. I favor the theory that proves they form naturally when you mix together the things that we know were around at that time.

But my perception is, in the end, all that matters to me, no? I can't disentangle myself from it however hard I try.

I guess it all comes down to whether you actually care about believing what's correct or not. In many ways the world (as I perceive it) define my beliefs, so perhaps I am not as 'independent' or 'free' because of it?

That can't defend the improbable factor?

LMAO!!! YOU BELIEVE A MAGICAL BEARDED DUDE IN THE SKY BUILT EVERYTHING... GIVE ME THE PROBABILITY OF THAT YOU IDIOT!

All the while none of this truly explains anything... it simply puts a chicken before the egg... it's a fallacy of thought...

Because you can't explain existance by saying some being created everything... because then you would need to explain what created the being that created everything...
