Q:What is the probability of him winning another Wimbledon? A: Despite the the laws of probability, and despite the fact that Bjorn won 5 Wimbledons in the past -- the probability of his winning another is effectively zero. Do you see how this relates to the creation of our universe and...

I pretty much concur with this post. Only divine intervention could explain this occurrence.

Q: If string theory is proven false, then would that fact be evidence tending to prove that the universe is designed?

This may be your single most genuinely useful post in the history of ET. I don't think you're being objective at the moment -- however, I do believe that you're being sincere. jem called me a liar -- not in a PM -- in public. That is over the line, in my view -- so if he wants to play...

Chill out, jem. If I had any real beef with you, I wouldn't waste any time on the State Bar Court -- I'd just sue you, straight up. I'd just appreciate it if you would actually read Susskind's book before telling everyone what he means, and calling me a liar. I don't think that's an...

I haven't made any threat to do anything to jem, and frankly, were I to do so, the State Bar prosecutor would just shrug and say, "de minimis non curat lex." I'm merely reminding jem, that as he claims to be a member of the Florida State Bar, that he has certain duties which exceed that of an...

His membership is not the issue? You mean that it's ok for him to violate his sworn oath as long as he doesn't get caught?

I don't claim to be a member -- jem does.

Z was probably a little anxious and agitated; perhaps, even intoxicated. Hey, it was Saturday night. Gotta give him a little latitude.

I'd say, it's more like you've been exposed as (1) both generally incapable of writing a proper English sentence, and (2) willing to engage in routine misrepresentation as a means of maintaining a position which, in fact, you don't really know is correct, for lack of undertaking a reasonably...

As usual, you are confused. What I am acknowledging is your claim to expert knowledge of indigestible waste material. Nothing more nor less.

Do, you mean that, like jem, you also don't know what it says at page 39 paragraph 2, of Susskind's book. Why that is absolutely startling! How is it possible that a person who is constantly quoting a particular book as the foundation of his argument about what the cosmological constant and...

And, why, exactly can't you quote me from paragraph 2 of page 39? I doubt that you've memorized Susskind's book, word for word, yet you quote it so easily. And now, when I ask you to quote a specific passage, you can't do it. How very strange...

Please quote Susskind's book, paragraph 2 of page 39. Thanks in advance.

Who am I to disagree with you -- the leading expert on indigestible waste material.

Same shit, different day, jem. Susskind has clearly explained that he views any appearance of ID as illusory, so get over it. Thus, the title of his book, "...the ILLUSION of Intelligent Design."

Asked and specifically answered by me, previously in this thread. If memory serves, I provided four express examples.

You're the expert in this area of knowledge.
