Quote:As far as I am concerned, Drew's own thesis collapsed early in this discussion. He just won't admit it.
It's pretty fatally flawed. He keeps chanting about "incredibly low probability" and "narrow range". That'd be true if he was trying to get humans by chucking darts at a board at random. We don't know what range of values is possible, if any, we don't know how likely our values are, we don't know if they're random or independent, and we don't know what happens when our numbers don't come up. Lacking that you can't do a useful evaluation of the probability space and his entire argument boils down to one of incredulity and ignorance.
