Given the number of eggs your Mom produced in her life, the incredible number of sperm your Dad cycled through in his life, and the specific timing of the mating that produced you, what were the odds of you existing, with the exact DNA that you happen to have? VERY VERY small. Repeat that statistical thinking back through just a few generations, and you are looking at a chance for you to exist that is practically infinitesimal. And yet, here you are.
As I said in one previous post, @ youtube.com/watch?v=e8MzPmkNsgU where William Lane Craig debates Christopher Hitchens about the existence of God, an argument from Craig caught my attention.
He said (long story short) that the probabillity of evolution through natural selection happening in such a way that it did, is so tiny, that it indicates the existence of a God that superintended the process.
That the odds of creation of man through this proccess are so slim, that is a strong indicator that God was involved...
Can I read your opinions about this?
I have to admit, at first it sounds quite legit to me...
In hindisight, probability doesn't mean anything.
