To my Math Genius friends...

Today CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2011/06/09/science-asteroids-meteorite-organic-amino.html This statement is made: @Ainulindale I find it fascinating that you can sit there pontificating that it is statistically impossible for humans to exist today with out a creator to create them. I know it may be hard for someone who's world view is grounded in faith to understand, but just because you say something it doesn't make it true.

You have to fulfill a very specific set of criteria to say that something a statically unlikely. You have to to show that the probability of something happening is significantly bellow some threshold. To do this you have to be able to calculate the probability have ending up with a human through nature process, with no intelligence behind them. I would be very interested in seeing your calculations for this seeing as we do not know a lot of the factors that would effect this. Even for things that we think life does need to form and grow, like a planet with the correct make up and temperature, we don't have a good handle on their frequency in the universe.

So please regale all us math deficient people with you superior skills and prove to us that it is statistically unlikely for humans to form without the assistance of a creator or stop using a sciency sounding arguments to justify your faith. I wish I could say, I have a grad degree in math, or a PhD in mathematcs, and leave a resounding response!
