Physicists: Our universe might not be special, merely “probable”
With – in the real world – only one actual universe to go on, how do we determine what is “probable”?
Has string theory really fallen this time?
Paul Sutter: “They argue that all possible configurations of compact dimensions are realized, each one with its own unique universe and set of physical laws, and we happen to live in this one because life would be impossible in most or all of the others. That’s not the strongest argument to come out of physics, but I’ll save a dissection of the idea for another day.”
And another thing: Evolutionary biology is “ableist”!
In fairness to the Darwinists, they probably aren’t intentionally discriminating against people with disabilities. They are used to destroying the careers of doubters, able or otherwise. They have never before been called to account for that.

At Mind Matters News: Brain scientist: Consciousness didn’t evolve. It creates evolution

Is the Standard Model of cosmology wrong?
Is the Galton Board evidence for intelligent design of the universe?
Ken Francis writes: “Proof that God placed order out of chaos in the universe. Each ball has a 50-50 chance of bouncing right or left off of each peg as it traverses the board, but every time the result is a bell curve. More proof of Intelligent Design.”
