‘Variability’ % proves God is the SPECIAL CAUSE, skeptics, why are you ignoring?

OT, I think you seriously underestimate how large the universe is.

No I get it, thx for the video...

Time will tell tho

There!

Please do the MATH

ok?

It's always the same. A theist presents an argument and invites skeptics to participate. Then, a skeptic asks a pertinent question and the theist scrambles to avoid answering at all costs.

I can only imagine that because of the intentional avoidance of answering a simple question that your original argument is indefensible against basic inquiry. Seriously, you thumpers should come better prepared.

I simply do not have the time to fully answer this question...

Granted it will be my opinion, when I do present...but get this clear young man...I am avoiding nothing....

If really interested I have told you more than once I have 4K posts with reams of OT's research, look away...but let's cut the trashing of 'theists' and 'thumbers'

I've been here on ATS for 5 yrs, I'm not going anywhere....I'll get to the response..which I've answered a few dozen times before

yet my post goes ignored *sigh*

Not sure if they r speaking in English, but you'll SEE it, I'm sure...

"This planet is even the focal point of all stars… "

Sorry, but not even close.

www.universetoday.com...
When you look up into the night sky, it seems like you can see a lot of stars. There are about 2,500 stars visible to the naked eye at any one point at any one time on the Earth, and 5,800-8,000 total visible stars. But this is a very tiny fraction of the stars the Milky Way is thought to have! Astronomers estimate that there are 200 billion to 400 billion stars contained within the Milky Way.

And that's just the Milky Way.

imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov...
For example, in 1999 the Hubble Space Telescope estimated that there were 125 billion galaxies in the universe, and recently with the new camera HST has observed 3,000 visible galaxies, which is twice as much as they observed before with the old camera. We're emphasizing "visible" because observations with radio telescopes, infrared cameras, x-ray cameras, etc. would detect other galaxies that are not detected by Hubble. As observations keep on going and astronomers explore more of our universe, the number of galaxies detected will increase.

I did no such thing. I was, however, critical of a stereotypical behavior pattern. That is, theists present a case, invite skeptics to participate, skeptics do and ask a question, then the question is systematically avoided.

Even after pointing this out you still avoid the question - a simple and basic one - and instead devote a post excusing yourself and/or postponing a response. What's the point of starting a thread if you're unwilling to engage in discussion about it?

Please don't go tothe patronizing post ok....

Really!

Did you google?

Nope, you didn't

No it isn't, Randomness is having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective.
It is not common cause.

What a great mind you have. You bring proof to so much of the things I already KNOW thru faith. This is a perfect example of that. Seti hears nothing, because there is nothing of intelligent life out there. Deep space is still in our dimension. The only other intelligent life is in spirit form and on a different plain.
I believe Gods plan in the beginning was for men to be immortal, populate the cosmos, reproduce himself thru us, as we live to gain the knowledge
it takes for us to become Gods.
Satans jealousy has only caused that plan to be postponed not indefinetly.The Bible even says there will be an end to the universe some day.

ARE YOU KIDDING? HONESTLY, are you actually being SERIOUS??

The only PROOF this shows is that we haven't even explored a PIXEL of a PIXEL of a PIXEL, of a PIXEL, of a PIXEL, of the universe, but this PROVES for you that the absurd contradicted fictional stories that you have FAITH in are TRUE? WHOA!!!!

Sadly, it does not seem to take much at all to fool the Religious folks I guess.

AND, just so you know, I am the REAL son of God. YES, ME!! It is WRITTEN right here. SEE, that is PROOF!! PROOF!! I command you, ER, I mean, GOD COMMANDS YOU to donate LOTS of money to me right now. I will message you my Paypal info.

Chris , my friend, slow down, ok?

You are speaking from innocent ignorance, I can tell...

Common cause variability occurs naturally in every process. Common cause variation is fluctuation caused by unknown factors resulting in a steady but random distribution of output around the average of the data. This fluctuation defines process potential, or how well the process can perform when all special cause variation is removed.

It's true. I do exist. Yes it is me, because some statistics prove it.

And you've all been very naughty.

Now get back to making me feel good by getting into groups and talking about how wonderful I am.

reply to post by Mythic Chris



OK...I'll check it out. Thank you!

Here's a lil on SPECIAL cause, notice it "assignable" hmm???

Special Cause Variation

Special cause variability is also unavoidable in most every process. Special cause variation is caused by known factors that result in a non-random disruption of output. Sometimes referred to as “exceptional” or “assignable” variation.

Yep!

Just kidding my superhero

Since I obviously won't get my question answered let's do some math and logic following rules similar to the OP.

We have one planet out of 8 (now) in our solar system in which we know life exists.

One divided by eight equals .125.

Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that in any other solar system that we look for life there is a 12.5% chance of discovering life.

This is more than double the chances you have attributed to a special cause argument.

And to polish off the argument using your logic: therefore the bible is false.

Good work...here's some more for you.
