John harshman says life has a 10^50 chance per habbitable planet of
happening.


So I started my stopwatch, and calculated his probability, vs the
seconds on my watch.


Guess what???????????????????????

So John has 3 options

1) Agree with this thread
2) Retract his claim.
3) Agree with the probability in the other thread.

I doubt that, you are talking to me don't forget.

If you expect an answers, why don't you take a calculated guess.

You may get lucky.

Could I have my £4million per third turnover now, BTW?

Yes, but hope springs eternal. Don't worry. Nobody will think less of
you if you explain what you're trying to say, even if it's really
stupid. And just think: what if it's really clever?

Why? To catch up with you? (so many innuendos so little time)

Damn, all of you. Plz listen.

I could prove My (and a host of other) IQ's in a heart beat.

What more evidence do you need?

Go win your (meaningless) lottery.

Go win your nobel, at my research.

Go win your (lonely) pot.

Go ignore spin, (Do what you want)

I really dont give a shit.

But PLZ.

Listen to the hebrew GOD tonight. Jehovah.

Some will see purple monkeys, some will have 217.13 neutrinos, some
will have an IQ og 0.000005, some willl see A young Y.O.O.

All of you will see the truth. And the truth will set you free.

I suspect we could argue a while, and then I say green.


I also suspect you could do your own hardwork, and find the colour
grey.

There probably is something more pathetic than a person trying to brag
about their IQ on the internet, but I can't think of it off the top of
my head.

Granting for the sake of argument that I believed you, why would I owe

IQ is irrelevant.

Again, IQ is not what's relevant, it's about logical thinking.

Another non sequitur. It's possible for a person who drinks to be
rational, even after drinking. And I doubt simple drunkenness explains
spinny.

First I must suppose you conclude that the chances of life are
1/1.32539089*10^28


Is that correct?

No. He knows what & why he did it.

I know why what & where he did.


The question is do you fools comprehend why he did what he did?

Actually, I know that I didn't do it. But because you won't provide the
post, here it is (direct quote of the relevant bit):

"If we assume that you mean there is a 1 in 13 million chance of winning
per trial, that number will be roughly correct. But where did that
assumption come from? What if the chance of winning was 1 in 10^50? Now
how many winners are there likely to be, given that Bob won once?"

Note the important phrase "what if", i.e. it's a hypothetical. Note that
the sentence refers to winning the lottery, not to the origin of life.
Note that spinny just can't read.

He says he didn't. Everyone else believes him. If you know where he did, you

It doesn't seem that he did what you said he did. I _know_ that you often say
things which you cannot possibly prove. For example, you have stated that I
am a serial killer. You can't support that assertion, either.

You're delusional. That's quite clear.

Oh, I think I'll stay, unless someone can mount a DOS attack on my system and
shut me up. I find your delusions amusing.

Since further down in the thread he explains what happened, it
seems that you are lying again.

Did he?

Can you offer an exact quote?

Can you offer up the thread's title?

Or maybe even post a link to it?

He's simply the most arrant liar and nothing he posts is to be believed.

The way to win the lottery is to be the one selling the tickets. I
figured that out when I was 7.

I think that charity requires we take that at face value unless we have
good solid reason to think it is false. I don't know if he used that
excuse at school or not, but we have to take it seriously.

You are one seriously mind-fooked dude.

Get some help.

You are not as fragmented as Tapestry/Great Dayne but you are headed
that way.

Please seek help before you are irretrieveably lost.

John is out of touch.
Idiots unable to understand what is going on have raised the 50 to well over
150 in the last few years.

If their idea had any validity there would be no chemistry.

What if he says he has to stop posting because his nan is sick, but then
doesn't stop posting? Are we allowed to infer anything?

I infer that either:

1 he lied about someone being sick

2 someone may be sick, but he really doesn't care if that someone lives or
dies

3 he's got a severe mental problem

4 some combination of the above.

Right now I'm leaning heavily towards (4).
