It's interesting this individual was able to debunk Evolution because DING DING DING he just couldn't see it happening reasonably. Sorry but monkeys writing Shakespeare has nothing to do with evolution or biologic science.

This writer basically conflated two separate ideas into one. Also, We don't have Defense Ministers in the US so this was either a Brit trying to sound American or a translation from another language

If you dig a bit there is a link to an alleged CV for the person who wrote it. Claims he has a BS philosophy, makes him an expert in mathematics I'm sure, and he claims to have a PhD, but doesn't say what that is in. Also that page says the site is damaged from a crash in 2007 and will be restored shortly.

Of course Wiki offers a formal proof of the infinite number of monkeys. Yes, to our expectation the probability is low, but if time is infinite then the probability is one or certain. Neat thing about infinities and something very hard for anyone not trained in calculus to grasp.

Gary, once again you are picking on the mathematically challenged. That person can not understand what you are saying.

We all know that gravity is one of the fundamental laws of physics.

Still we have not been able to find out whether gravity is due to the existence of one (or more) particles.

For some reason, particles which can be attributed or related to a certain or specific amount of mass are better explained than energy in its pure form, or matter which behaves in an energetic manner or exhibits some kind or type of energetic state.

Perhaps I am trying to explain or be implying something by means of making a reference to the possible existence of the so-called Higgs boson whose existence has generally been postulated by physicists?

Gravity is supposed to be a force which attracts and compresses mass. A large amount of mass within a certain perimeter or radius typically makes up either a white dwarf star, a neutron star or possibly a black hole.

The amount of mass in the Universe is constant, the Universe as an invisible medium is expanding (or inflating) on its own, making all the galaxies and galaxy clusters being part of it appear as moving apart from each other.

Still we are assuming that the Big Bang was the result of an inflation, or at least, the result of the initial Big Bang which created the Universe subsequently lead to an inflationary universe where also the notion of time plays a big role.

We should not however think of the Big Bang as an "explosion" in the regular form of way. Rather, the Big Bang is known to have stopped up for a while, but quite recently, at least in a cosmic perspective has "taken off" once again.

In addition, the more distant an object is from another in the Universe, the more quicker or speedier this "moving away from each other" process also appears to be.

Maybe we need yet another explanation from Albert Einstein's laws of general relativity in order to be able to explain these things any further? The shape of the Universe is thought by some to be flat, by others as being either positively or negatively curved.

Further comments or explanations, are please welcome.



Nope, nope, nope, and nope. Most everything you just said is all wrong.

There's no such thing as the "law of gravity" to the NARW folks. Now, there are some "rules of math" that gravity follows very closely under certain conditions.

Who are we to say, "Gravity is supposed to..."? Gravity "is", because we can see, hear, feel it. That's all we know at this time.

How do we know mass is constant in the universe? We don't know (yet).

There can be no such thing as Einstein's "laws" of general relativity to the NARW folks.

Scientists don't believe anything unless they can reproduce it by themselves in a laboratory, repeatedly.

No, the correct term for that is "Ditto Head" or DH or can't say that here.

As I said, you are right back to zero. I don't take posting here lightly. I don't take well to people just pronouncing that they are right and then not give any said proof to back it up. I am not a scientist. I rely on others who are scientist to back me up. The one who wrote that site is NOT alone in his belief. As a matter of FACT Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Richards dismantled YOUR argument in much the same way. Also countless others have slammed YOUR arguent to the ground in the same way. You are wrong.

There are laws for very large numbers. I really don't care if you think I don't understand calculus. I do. I don't care if you think that calculus answers your questions correctly. I does not.


There are laws for very large numbers. And that number given at the site is indeed a VERY LARGE number. So large it stands right next to zero so claose that YOU cannot tell the differance.

Look up [once again] Hyperreals.

Laws for very large numbers/ Borels Law Scrool up just a tad here first then read on...

You may understand calculus but you seem to stop after that point.

so large it stands next to zero? REeaalllyyy? again you talk of beliefs and not science. Dismantling a scientific proof is quite difficult. It usually takes more than a few lines and saying "See there it is, I cannot see another possible solution to a problem" as an answer. That is hardly proof positive that something is or isn't correct.

I'll point you to flat landers that still beieve that the earth is flat. they have followers. Are they correct? Just because someone believes something doesn't make it true.

When you conflate to ideas into being one then you just confuse yourself into believing something that isn't proof but is an interesting philosophical argument. Math doesn't use philosophy

Whats a fact Jack is that them two numbers [zero and the one given at the site I posted] walk so close together that when they get up in the morn they get into the same pair of pants.

Show some understanding of the math...

NARW?


No Absolutes, Rights, or Wrongs. I've explained this before. I've shortened it to an acronym to make it easier on me.

There are NARW type folks in these forums. For them, nothing is explainable, nothing is real, nothing exists, nothing can be discussed, nothing can be defined, nothing can happen more than one, nothing can be anything other than a one-time event that will be different the next time it is tried.

NARW folks live a life of habitual mystery, habitual denial, habitual negativity.

NARW folks think they are nothing more than a chemical reaction that happened by chance.

Guy, as opposed to EAORW (Everything is Absolute, there is Only Right or Wrong), I suppose.

Personally, I do accept there are some absolutes out there and there are certainly some actions which can be classified as Right or Wrong (or should be seen that way by everyone (or nearly everyone anyway).

But I do reject the view that EVERYTHING is Absolute, and that EVERY act or thought is either Right or Wrong.

I perceive the inclination to see all as absolute, all as either right or wrong, as an oversimplification of reality. Making things simple is a good starting point for infants and young children as they grow up and get socialized, but as they mature, it is critical that they learn the world is a more complicated place than that.

I sense you either disagree with this or are at the very least discomfited by the implied relativism embodied by this.

ID, it is clear that you do not understand Borel's law of large numbers as applied to random chance and infinity. Borel stated that as long as a probability exists and given an infinite number of attempts the event will occur! At least that is what the link you cited states.

you could also do the mooWrapper project which is looking to crack secure coding. The project at current rates of work would take about 250 years to process all possible combinations. This isn't infinite.

so 0.000000000000000000000001 is virtually identical to 0.999999999999999999999999? I'm betting math will tell me this are significantly different numbers. So if I were looking at a precision piece of equipment and it said the tolerances were +/- 0.000000000000001 thats not even close to 1 but it is a lot more than 0. You seem to forget your authors point about the magnitude of numbers.
