physicists have stated that it would be statisticaly impossible for all the factors that go into making a place in the universe suitable for life (as we know it)
me thinks this is the classic arse before elbow approach to statistical calulations ....
firstly i would challenge any Physisict to be able to list all the factors ...
life is a product of the universe as it IS , .. how the universe got to the way it is , why it got to the way it is , is irrelavent .."life as we know" is "life as we know" because of all the factors that go into the universe , not the the other way round ...
"life as we know" it is a concequence of the factors that are there ... if you had different factors you wouuld have "life as THEY know it" .
To say the statistical chance of this universes set of factors arrising is near impossible is meaningless .. firstly as we know it has happened , secondly it makes bad use of statistical method .
simple eg i will know show you its statistical impossible for you to reply to this post .
ok what are the statisical measures of the following :
your great great grandparents meeting marrying and producting the the line that leads to you ( AS YOU ARE ) today ... given all the possible alternative that might have happened ...WITHOUT changing any of the laws of the universe ... statistically its impossibe out of all possible alternatives for you to be you ..
