Dredge:It's not that complicated ringo, I know how to use the addition rule. It's clear that you and Taq have taken the same survey of math course based on the way you both use the addition rule. This is why social promotion is not a good idea in our educational system.

Kleinman:I expect you to make a highschool level mathematical blunder, but Taq? I thought Taq had a little bit better understanding of introductory probability theory. No wonder Taq is having so much difficulty figuring out how random recombination works.

Yup. He is one of the worst we have had in a long time. He aspires to be a world class crank, but he is reduced to trolling our humble little forum.

Both Dredge and Kleinman have decided that the model for abiogenesis would be winning the lottery many times in a row.Since no creationist has ever answered the question of how they think evolution is supposed to work
I don't know anyone who knows what process produced the history of life on earth. Do you?
and hence they will also be deathly silent about abiogenesis
I don't know anyone who knows how life started. Do you?

The word, "mathematics", is plural, so why do you Americanos call it "math", which is singular? the math (maths to British types). Everytime you use "math", you should follow it with "(sic)". If "Sleepy Joe" Biden wants to be remembered as a great President who achieved great things, the first thing he should do is sign an Executive Order that declares the word "math" illegal, to be replaced by the word, "maths".
The entire point of this is what model we would use to calculate a probability for abiogenesis.
Your comment demonstrates how stupid and deluded abiogenesis researches are. Pray tell, O Wise One, how can anyone calculate a probability for abiogenesis when no one knows how it happened?
whereas Dredge is completely ignorant of both abiogenesis and of science
To be fair, for an idiot with a fragile, eggshell mind and an IQ of only 9, I think I'm doing OK.

I don't recall ever offering winning the lottery many times in a row as a model for abiogenesis. Please show me where I did that. Your constant idiotic blather does make it difficult to figure out just what the hell you're talking about. And my standard question for all creationists, "What the hell are you talking about?", has had no effect. However, the question under discussion was your stupidly ignorant assertion violating even the laws of mathematics that the probability of abiogenesis was so low as to be less than zero. Then from there you immediately veered off to a scenario of winning the lottery several times in a row.
That was the only justification that you offered for your remark about the probability of abiogenesis, which is why any thinking person (which obviously excludes you) could only assume that that was your proposed model for abiogenesis probability. So then what? You were just lying, being a typical evil lying creationist? You were just jerking us around, being a typical evil lying troll?
You yourself are a lost cause. You will never even try to learn anything; you will always be a eunuch your entire life (Marcus Lykus). But there are the lurkers (called "visitors" on this forum; right now there are only 5 members present, but 148 visitors) so while explanations are totally lost on you, visitors will still be able to learn from them. So then, if "winning the lottery many times in a row as a model for abiogenesis" is actually not your model, then just exactly what is your actual model? IOW, that constant question for creationists which they can never answer and which terrifies them to no end: What the hell are you talking about? DWise1 writes:
I don't know anyone who knows what process produced the history of life on earth. Do you? Since no creationist has ever answered the question of how they think evolution is supposed to work Yes, of course! Evolution, which is an integral part of how life works. As long as there is life doing what life does, there will be evolution. Nobody can separate the two, so inextricably linked together they are. Just because you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about doesn't mean that the rest of us are similarly afflicted. Of course, if you have some bizarrely aberrant definition of "evolution" which is completely different from actual biological evolution, then do please present it to us for our examination. No creationist has ever done that; honesty and truthfulness are completely beyond their grasp.
I don't know anyone who knows how life started. Do you? First, how life started has absolutely no effect on evolution. All evolution requires is that life exists. Life exists. Life does what life does. The net result of life doing what life does is evolution. If you got life, then you got evolution. The two cannot be separated. You want to eliminate evolution by eliminating abiogenesis (as if you ever could)? Doesn't work that way. Quibbling over how life could have gotten here has absolutely no effect on the glaringly obvious fact that LIFE DOES EXIST! And once life exists, we immediately have evolution. So, yet again, What the hell are you talking about? Second, if life started through natural processes, then even if we don't know all the details we are at least able to identify the kinds of processes that would have had to have been involved, processes that we know a lot about, including how they work. In another thread, there's a subtitle like "Dredge thinks not knowing everything is not knowing anything". Now that is just downright braindead stupidity. Knowing how natural processes work, we can reconstruct an overall framework for something like abiogenesis, basing it on what needs to be done and how natural processes work -- maybe you are abjectly ignorant of how Nature works, but the rest of us are not. At the very least, we can figure out enough about the natural processes involved to know how any probability math models would be needed to describe them. Your own offering of winning the lottery many times in a row is a splendidly complete failure. My complementary events model makes immensely more sense.

You forget what we're talking about here. Your claim is that abiogenesis is impossible. You calculate a very small probability and call that impossible. But three heads in a row id not impossible, so your example is worthless.

"only justification"? No."thinking person"? No. After giving your excuses fair and due consideration, I have reached the conclusion that they are devoid of merit. The discussion about the odds of winning the lottery originated in Message 580, which I mentioned in an example of "ringo logic", which in turn arose from an discussion about "statistical impossibility". In some fit of discombobulation, you somehow concluded that I was using the lottery example as a model for abiogenesis. Your error can only be attributed to a lack of intelligence. Sorry.
So then, if "winning the lottery many times in a row as a model for abiogenesis" is actually not your model, then just exactly what is your actual model?
You want me to provide a model for an event that no one understands and no one will never understand? Golly. All I know is, according to the mathematics of God,the probability of natural abiogenesis occurring is less than zero.

So we all can agree that NONE of us knows everything. But let's discuss not only the science but the research scientists. Do you have a preference?
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
