| Quote | | As I am sure you know, the proposition that a solely random process could produce that exact outcome that God intended is, if not logically impossible, virtually impossible. Mathematicians and scientists tell us that an event can become so improbable that it is no longer reasonable to even consider it as a possibility. |
Yeah, they do, Stephen, but you don't listen.
We know from Stephen's previous stentorian declarations that to argue that quantum physics allows for some acausality at the quantum level is to surrender any basis for believing that roads can't wet themselves and brick walls can't jump onto highways willy-nilly. All hope of rationality in such a funhouse world is forever lost. Never mind that quantum physics also indicates with great precision that statistical improbability rules out such macro events for every imaginable practical purpose. Best to cling to eternal, self-evident truths and the self-levitating tautological foundations upon which they stand.
But when it comes to pulling God's intentions out of his ass Stephen suddenly finds that statistical improbability is a friend of sweet reason itself. In fact, to fail to reject events on the basis of extreme improbability is itself unreasonable.
Then there was the law of non-contradiction...
