I didn't read what you said because in response to a question about the origin of LIQUID water, you post a picture of fricking Saturn.
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't think that water was a bit more rare in the universe, which is why I provided you an image of a planet that has enough water to fill our oceans a 100 times over.
After that I assumed you were an idiot, which was correct, and explained why liquid water was common in the solar system itself. You're a moron if you use "liquid water" as a definitive example when there have been confirmed oceans on Mars and Europa.

It goes into the odds of evolution occurring on a macroscale, the original point in contention. I love your odds making. There is a 100% chance of evolution occurring because it occurred.
I bet there's a chance of 1 of the GS Warriors beating the OKC Thunder the other night.

That's like saying the odds of you existing are one. That's ridiculous.
That's a fact, it's how math works
The probability of me existing prior to my existence was less than one (and fundamentally not calculable). The probability of me existing now is 1.

Just because you exist doesn't mean the odds of your existence are one.
Yeah, that's exactly what it means. The odds of the Warriors winning the Western Conference are currently 1. their calculated odds prior to winning the conference are now irrelevant in a discussion of how likely it is that they would win, because they did win.
You only get to ponder the odds against you existing because you exist, and thus such an argument for or against the existence of God is meaningless.

So, I've linked two articles claiming the implausibility of liquid water on Mars and Venus. Where are we going next? fricking Pluto? It's ice.

Also correct
The calculated odds of an event occurring prior to it occurring become irrelevant once it occurs in a discussion of that event's causation.

I'm sure you believe in the empirical Martians in the Solar a System.
You are so fricking ignorant you don't know that Mars once and really still does have flowing water (a pretty big story about 8 months ago BTW). It's entirely feasible that life existed on Mars and still does in some form. The planet produces methane, which is very strong evidence in its favor.
In fact it is entirely feasible that life on Earth originated on Mars, an asteroid hit Mars, flung a rock towards Earth, and the microbes that landed on Earth became what is known as us. It's a totally insane theory, but also totally plausible on top of that. The universe is crazy when you think about it, but you would rather think of it as a God who tells you not to jack off.

There WAS once liquid water on Mars, and we can detect methane emission from the planet which is a strong indicator of life either currently existing or existing at some point in the past.

What were the odds of you being conceived? 100%?
So, I'll break it down.

So, the odds of a mother who has had quintuplets having quintuplets is 1? The odds are actually calculated in the article.

triplets and quads represented 14.87 of every 1.000 births or 1 in 67 pregnancies was a multiple birth (or 1 in every 34 children is a twin/triplet). You'll increase your odds of having twins/multiples if.... Maternal Age : You (the mother) are over age 35.

The odds of a mother of quintuplets having quintuplets after the fact is 1, yes. The odds of my wife having quintuplets in the future is very, very, very small.

Has anyone found a DNA connection yet? If so this thread is useless. If not I'd have no more reason to think I came from a goorilla than from a butterfly.
the amount of abject stupidity in this thread is actually depressing. You people have the entirety of the internet available to you and you continue to wallow in ignorance.
There are several corroborating lines of genetic evidence that prove we are apes.
there is the MYH16 gene and its frameshift mutation that rid humans of large masticating muscles and the thickened attachment points in our skull making way for the enlargement of our cranium
there is the fusion of our chromosome 2, apes have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46...you cant lose a whole chromosome, that would be fatal, so because the Theory of Evolution states we are related, geneticist knew to look for a fusion site and located it so precisely they know the exact base pair where the fusion of #2 occurred, including teliomeres (end segments of chromosomes) centrally located on #2
you obviously dont know about Endogenous Retroviral (ERV's) insertion points and why they prove we are related to apes. These are specific location in the genome that a virus inserted its RNA into a gamete of the animal which meant that DNA would be passed on for all eternity once that gamete was fertilized. We share several hundred thousand of these with apes whick means that DNA from the viruses was passed down to us thru ancestral history as simply getting one viral insertion the same randomly would be 1 in 2 billion... again we share over 100k of these with apes.
perhaps you should read up on them and what makes them markers for the lineages found within the tree of life.
these are 3 of the simplest genetic examples that prove we are apes with screwed up genes.

The creationist mental gymnastics to get around this fundamentally fatal piece of evidence are a trip to read
They literally make up new definitions of words

Venus is a bit closer to the Sun so it is a bit warmer so there is slightly more water in the atmosphere than in Earth's atmosphere. without oxygen there is no ozone layer; without an ozone layer, there is no protection for the water from solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Oh yeah, this is a newsflash to me. I've never heard of fricking Venus, the brightest object in the sky behind the Sun and the Moon. Nice one-up manship! A planet with massive volcanic activity and an atmosphere that has pressure similar to the Mariana Trench.
You're a total retard if that is your trump card against liquid water being on other planets. If you put Europa in Venus' orbit and gave it an Earth like atmosphere (maybe letting a bit more heat out) it would survive and life would likely thrive in it. Venus is in the Goldilocks Zone, and it is the planet's own fault it is a hell hole. The amount of methane and volcanic gas it outpours would make it uninhabitable no matter where in the Solar System it was. Io isn't the nicest place either I hear.

Very, very weirdly; no. You have to root around in quantum mechanics to see why, but it turns out that even things in the past, in the most objective possible sense, are also uncertain. This doesn’t mean that, for example, the Nazi’s may have won the war (since it’s pretty well-known that they didn’t), but it does mean that if an event is so small and fleeting that it leaves no real trace, then it may have happened in multiple ways (quantum mechanically speaking).
Posted on 6/2/16 at 12:07 am to tuptiger
That doesnt mean what you think it means
It's also ironic that you'd point to quantum mechanics to try and prove your point, seeing as it's a concept far more rooted in theory than evolution.

It's debatable.
