Why the Probability Argument Fails

I grow weary of creationists and apologists claiming that the existence of life is too improbable to have occurred by natural means. They seem to think that quote-mining statistics uttered by those who may or may not support these dishonest charlatans' cause makes them sound intelligent. They also use this as their primary basis for the claim that those who accept naturalism have "faith." Such equivocation is unacceptable, and in this video I lay out the reason for which statistics are not used to comment on the past: IT'S NOT IMPRESSIVE. If a past event happened, then the probability that it happened is 100%!!!! Apologists and creationists, stop using mathematics to defend your arguments. Or, better yet, LEARN math, biology, physics, and any other area of your choosing from an objective source. An accredited university is a good place to start. Then, when you're educated, you will inevitably become irreligious because that is the inexorable consequence of obtaining knowledge: losing dogma.

And finally, an alternate method of phrasing my argument, put forth by FishHeadSalad:
"If a meteor the size of a grain of sand hit a grain of sand on a beach, what are the odds of 'that' meteor (now meteorite) hitting that specific grain of sand? Before it happens the odds are astronomical. After the event, it is 100%."

Seriously,  you are comparing the the trajectory of a raindrop to the gravitational constant. Honestly it makes you look foolish.

[King Crocoduck]

At what point did I mention the gravitational constant? I made no such comparison.

[OldaurGold]

you're silly. probability theory debunks life coming from nonlife tenfold. Religious people are safe in believing in a supernatural being bringing things into existence. This scenario is more likely than life creating itself from a ball of dirt and chemicals

[King Crocoduck]

And a raindrop landing on my nose is a miracle. Tell me the difference.

Your listening skills are way off.

I'm a prospective physics major in university, so higher level mathematics is definitely compulsory.

As a fellow physics student (well, ex-physics student, since I graduated a few years ago), I enjoy your vids a lot. Hell, I also learn a bit from your videos on Astrophysics.

One more thing, Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the light. Does that mean that Jesus is a photon? If so, doesn't the Uncertainty Principle say that we can't know the exact position/momentum of a particle. So does that mean that Jesus, who is a photon, is uncertain?

It's a bit redundant to make a video that why the creationist probability calculations are complete bullshit but good that there's many people actually bringing it up. Keep up the good work King Crocoduck

It was probably actually my mistake for not being clear about it to begin with.

[1991stratplus]

Sorry my mistake.

you see this I like, no cartoons, no misleading it seems you`ve spoken very well, I can get on board no I do not think something put us here it is just by chance we exist, and some day we won`t so go, go have some fun we all could use a good day
