I could care less about the subjective religious beliefs of a creationist, even if they happen to be a Nobel prize winner in Physics, though more often of course, creationist compile lists of "scientists", that include primary school teachers in religious education.(April 15, 2025 at 6:16 am)Sheldon Wrote: It's time Drew understood that probability is a scientific theory, not a subjective opinion, and the "this seems to involve long odds, that I have subjectively decided aren't possible, so I am going to insert an unevidenced deity, using inexplicable magic, from an archaic superstition", argument, is never going to pass muster with the scientific world, or anyone citing rational objections.
In general, theists keep promoting their philosophical arguments when cosmology long ago became a science. Drew is just another case of Maslow's hammer.
They haven't caught up with the simple fact that science, again and again, has decisively shown that the way the universe actually works is counter-intuitive.
You have to be able to do the math, or at least to believe the people who can.
