Have you ever studied probability? There is a point where a thing becomes not only improbable, but impossible. That is my position on abiogenesis. It is an impossibility.
Yes, Ive studied probability. I don't think you have, though. The larger the number sets get, the more likely that the improbable becomes, probable, likely, even just shy of certain.
The odds of rolling all sixes with 5 six-sided dice are on in 7,776. What if we roll those same dice, twice? Three times? 100 times? 1,000,000 times? This is why lotteries are routinely won several times each year despite the odds of an individual winner being exceedingly low.
Now, let's look at it from the point of the cosmos. Hundreds of billions of galaxies hosting hundreds of billions of stars over trillions of years. Your odds against were just made more than likely, more than probable. Considering we're here, I'd say it's certain.
You're claim that it can't happen is based on a single roll where you don't get a Yahtzee. Reality is based on billions of billions of rolls. Probability says it's just shy of certain, in fact that it's almost impossibly improbable to not get that result somewhere, somehow. Who are you to argue against probability after claiming I haven't studied it?
Care to prove probability wrong? Please, go roll those Yahtzee dice forty or fifty thousand times and count the number times you get all sixes.
Your arguments from incredulity mean nothing here, troll. Substantiate your claims in some meaningful way or go fuck yourself.
