  • That was an awesome video, Lad. I saved it off.

    The video was awesome because it gave some meaning to that remote probability. 10 to the 164th power is beyond the conception of human beings. We're not wired to understand such mind boggling numbers. But to understand it in terms of a slow moving amoeba traversing the known universe -- now THAT gives it some meaning and context.

    10 I can conceive.  164 I can conceive. But 10 to the 164th power? Not at all, and all other human beings are with me on that. Humans don't "do" exponential. It's not intuitive to conceive of such things.

    Yes, that's why I liked it.  I've seen these types of numbers (10 to the 164th) before, but for most people it is just a number.  Yeah, OK, it's a high number, but "over time" it can happen.  But when you see the analogy of an amoeba travelling one foot per year, at that pace being able to travel the entire length of the universe and back, enough times to carry every single atom in the universe across the universe ... thousands of times, that helps drive home the point of what an utter impossibility evolution is.

    And, as the scientists interviewed point out, that's just for ONE protein.  To have 2 of these proteins randomly emerge close enough to each other to interact, there's no number for those odds.  Except that the simplest cells known have about 300 such proteins, which would all have to miraculously form in proximity with each other and someone within some membrane (and who knows how that would get there).  This is LITERALLY impossible to the point that only people who simply hate God and don't want to believe in Him could possibly buy it.

  • The Pope is simply saying that there must be NO DENIAL OF PERMISSION TO PRINT works treating of the mobility/immobility of the Earth/sun based on said previous declarations of the Holy Office. In other words, it's not a dogma and it doesn't unsettle dogma - scientists must be left free to treat of the matter.

    Did you read the quote?  I agree with cassini here.  It says a lot more than that.  It actually stipulates that anyone who attempts to deny permission to print this things should be actively punished.  It's entirely one thing to say that it is not forbidden to publish such things and then quite another to say that if anyone tries to prevent them from publishing it that they should be punished.

    But it takes it a step further.  You are to be punished not only if you actively disobey, but even if you are RELUCTANT to obey.
