I agree
It's like atheists buying the God delusion. Bad theology sells just like bad science.
Are you implying there is bad science in the god delusion?
Do tell.

I'm consistently flummoxed by creationists (all franchises) who are always insisting that the odds of a universe with intelligently life are tiny.
The probability of a universe with intelligent life is 1.0.

Not at all. I'm stating quite clearly that there is terrible, infantile theology going on in there. Dawkins is the Ray Comfort of the theological world.
Ray Comfort uses bad science to support his stupid beliefs so what I am seeing is still an implication that the science in the god delusion is flawed.
The theological points made in the god delusion may be simplistic but are they wrong?
If so why?
I couldn't see any errors in his logic and theology is the most useless of all ologies it is a study in nothing, a minor branch of anthropology at best.

I never understand how these people that claim improbability always fail to factor in time.
Improbable =/= impossible. Life is here, thus the events that led to the evolution of life did occur.
It might be billions and billions to one, but when you consider you've got billions of years those odds seem to be less unlikely.

Except that it isn't billions to one. it's one to one. Unity, as you said, here we are. Retroactive claims of probability to an event known to have occurred is misapplication of principle. The event isn't probable/improbable, by any measure...it's certain. Boru beat me to it.....but it got repeated...so....

Simple and plain as day god didn't do anything. god is just the normal stance on when people cannot find a answer to things like where humanity came from.
