So funny! Yet so sad.
Pray tell ... how will you and your fellow-delusionoids know when you're finally "there"?

I know enough not to try to combine probabilities when the events are independent.
If you flip a coin three times, for example, each flip is an indepedent event. How would you calculate the probability of getting 3 heads from 3 flips?

Why would you multiply the probabilities? The draws are independent.
Wow. This is basic highschool maths ... and you haven't got a clue.

Hilarious. How can you criticise Kleinman when you don't even understand the basics of probability maths?

Both Dredge and Kleinman have decided that the model for abiogenesis would be winning the lottery many times in a row.
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.
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 math (maths to British types).
The word, "mathematics", is plural, so why do you Americanos call it "math", which is singular?
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.

Have you worked out yet that the probability of finding a cetacean with a fused sacrum is zero(0)?

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.
??? I have no idea what you talking about.

Your constant idiotic blather does make it difficult to figure out just what the hell you're talking about ...
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.
"immediately"? No
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.
"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.

Yes, of course! Evolution
No one knows how "Evolution" produced the changes evident in the history of life on earth.
For example, you don't know what process resulted in cetaceans lacking the fused sacrum that was present in their alleged evolutionary ancestors.
