i loathe doing statistics problems - so am not going to attempt an probability calculation

but

you ignored your childrens birthdates that did nnot correlate also you ignored all other friends , family , aquaintances - that did not correlate

co-incedences always appear mmore amazing if you ignore enough data points that dont " match "

Yeah well, I'm still interested in the odds of the four birthdays mentioned.
Of course it's coincidence, there's plenty I've "ignored", and I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything to suggest something magical...

So, can anyone else here show Ignorant Ape and myself how to work these odds out?

It tends to work when a person's month and day of birthday adds up to a the number of years between generations.

If your BD is on 1-1 or 3-2, your child is born when you are 2 or 5.

because of the age, the vision that I get unfortunately is that this was a traumatic event, that thankfully may have escaped ur memory. God I believe dosnt give us anymore then we can handle.

Stick with religion. The reality of the number system is beyond your comprehension.
