Using Dembski’s own logic, I found that he does not exist and I should like to have that finding confirmed.

I’ve used a similar, though not identical illustration. It usually goes “what is the probability that I’m standing here teaching this class” and eventually gets to “what is the probability of something that has already happened.”

Dembski of the VID (Village Idiot Design) movement using his own math and idea of probability? Using Dembski's own logic, I found that he does not exist and I should like to have that finding confirmed. Hint: Number of people on Earth when Dembski's parent accidently met, number of his fathers sperms of which only one single accidently fertilized a specific egg resulting in Dembski's birth. Expand a few generations backwards. May I suggest that you use your skill in math to calculate the probability for the existence of William A.
