At the fundamentals, what I mean is whatever outcome the present day is will be rejected by the believers, because it is just one out of a Billion billion possible outcomes.
Believers are currently rejecting evolution, because this present day is one of a billion billion outcome after Earth is formed.
The flaw which I point out, is then whatever outcome will be rejected by them then, since any other outcome is also one out of a billion billion chance.
Dawkins Counter this argument by believers saying mutations are random, but Evolution is not. In another words, he is saying natural selection makes the present outcome more likely than others. But it begs the question as in assumes Natural selection in the first place.
Stephen Hawking counters by saying "But it happened!" This may still not convince the beievers, whose very point(As they think) is that evolution has a very low chance of happening
I did not mean much when I said"you atheist". Just take it I did not say it. But I am atheist, to clarify.
My point is, this believer's argument that evolution has only a small chance of happening will lead to: "At the fundamentals, what I mean is whatever outcome the present day is will be rejected by the believers, because it is just one out of a Billion billion possible outcomes."
