please help A christian has stumped me on this one.

[Tea Earl Grey Hot]

He was just copy/pasting something on Christian Forums. He's probably the same person. http://www.christianforums.com/t7692429/#post61507855

Why'd the dude get banned?

Why'd the dude get banned?

Don't forget that thread, it's always fun to look through every now and then; "Oh yeah, I remember them... I'm glad they got banned"

Interesting how he completely missed the point of the story he's been spamming (that when we look at some model of reality that's obviously been designed and built, we assume it had a designer; yet we don't make the same assumption with the real thing) and turned it into "it just appeared". He even failed at trolling.

the names so closely related to jesus will always be the same number. ALWAYS AAAAHHHHH Breaks the reasoning of mathematics. probability speaking

How come no one actually bothered to tell him the odds?

Jesus / Joshua = 74.

Let's work out the odds of this randomly occuring, Greek name is 5 letters, Hebrew name is 6 letters. There are 26 letters in the alphabet, thus the most likely number that a 5-letter word will produce is 5x 12.5 = 68, and the most likely number a 6-letter word will produce is 6x 12.5 = 75.

Now, both names are the same root Hebrew word, thus they both start with the same letter, so let's discount that letter entirely and just work off:

esus / oshua = 64

Now we have a 4 letter word and a 5 letter word. Remember the most likely number a 5-letter word will produce is 68, 64 is just off the mark. The most likely number a 4 letter word will produce is 50, but let's ignore this too. Since I can't actually be bothered finding out how many 5-letter words add up to 64, I'll just use estimation. I'd say the chances are about 1 in 20 or so. Hardly staggering odds.

Not a probability or math expert, but I smell some bad math, there, Daniel. I don't remember "just off the mark" being discussed in any class I took, but then I never did stats.

wow holy spirit and jesus christ have the same value this really must have been set up by god. This guy is now sending me stuff that C.S. LEWIS wrote and he is def not a nutball, hes an ex atheist who is a genius. Oh yeah he told me that Sir Isacc Newton believed the bible and time life magazine called him the greatest scientific thinker of our time. he built a huge solar system in his house and when people said wow " what you built , that is nice" he said " I didnt build it.' they asked " where did you buy it ' he said " I didnt buy it " they said " then how did it get there " He said " it just appeared "

You expect us to believe this story? It sounds like you're trolling, you're stilting your monologue so much.
