> If it's a universe of n particles, the probability would have to be something like 1/4n, for example's sake. (one divided by four times the number of particles in the universe.) If the probability of life occuring is some number less than n: 1/(n-m) than life is a determined property, and the search for God in biochemistry is over, in my eyes.-Matt: I'm sorry I just don't follow your reasoning. My only training in statistics in cook-booking formulas for papers and undrstanding T and p values. If all research has concentrated on biochemical molecules (with the standard particles inside) why use numbers of particles. Life came from available molecules and some basic elements. And the universe provided the Earth as a suitable playground for life. We don't need to odds for that initial development. If the whole process was programmed from the beginnning then there is a God hiding out somewhere.
