In the absence of those steps there needs to be probabilities that the steps can occur and in the sequence required. And in the absence of that all you have is a glossy narrative that rivals Shakespeare but doesn’t belong in science. |
Creationists are notorious for coming up with really stupid ideas but demanding that science provide a numerical probability and specific steps for evolutionary changes that happened hundreds of millions of years ago has to be among the dumbest. We have ample physical evidence that the events did indeed occur and the mechanisms that caused them. That makes the probability of occurrence 1.0.
Can you imaging demanding that a geologist provide the exact probability calculations and day by day height measurements for the formation of the Alps or else mountain building by plate tectonics is falsified? That’s exactly how stupid this latest demand is.
IDers are the only ones whose argument relies on the precise calculations of unknowable probabilities. Yet another reason they are laughed at by established science. |
something tells me adapa isn't long for that board.
