Logic of chance
#13
RE: Logic of chance
Ermm..yes to the middle part, but I am thinking whether are there any Mathematicians or philosophers here who is able to clarify whether does this very common argument cited by them holds any weight?

To me, based on intuition, on the surface it does but when analysed out it does not.

I have high IQ, am in Mensa, but my brain thinks too slowly to get exact complete understanding, if not I would have analysed it myself.

They are saying:"

We now exist here. Probability is 1 out of 1. My theory, God, (if he exist), will 100% produce what we have now. Your theory, random arrangement of molecules, will have 0.0000000000000000000000000000001% chance of producing what we have now. Which is the better choice to believe"

Right now I have no idea about whether their argument holds anywater, but I am very sure this is the base of their logic. I leave it here for you all to analyze, or for us to analyse together.
