Does anyone understand the part about the car being made from metal and oil thrown from 2 miles up or whatever?

Some people genuinely think that the theory of the big bang says the explosion made everything exactly as it is now by random chance, rather than just being the starting point for a very very long and gradual process.

I’ve had people ask me “how an explosion could form a human” before, which is ridiculous in many levels.

Not everyone can understand a multistep process. Studies have shown they are literally incapable. They survive by copying and memorization of processes.

I’ve always wondered if people like that are an unfortunate combination of some of our less adaptive traits. It can take strong selective pressure to get a species to dump maladaptive but not fatal characteristics.

Honest question, can you find something I can read about these studies?

It’s a religious nut who has 0 idea about how probability works. Don’t over think it.

It sounds like a reference to the “Junkyard Tornado” fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkyard_tornado?wprov=sfla1

The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein.

Even Boeing can’t assemble a 747. Maybe the junkyard tornado deserves a shot at it.
