Even more specifically, if something was going to happen then something will happen regardless of how improbable a particular permutation.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Didn't I say that?
The probability after the fact is 1:1 -- id est 1.0
No kidding!?
The probability of a deck of cards being shuffled and dealt in random order is 1:1.
But the probability of a deck of cards being shuffled and dealt in an order predetermined is 1:52!
Roll a die and the probability of it coming up with any number on it is 1:1.
But claim you're going to roll a 5 before you roll it is 1:6.

But according to Genesis 1, what is the impetus? God? or mother nature?
That's the $64x10³ question.

And now you've figured out what's wrong with the YEC "probability" argument.
