I've been told the same thing twice now. Really in my eyes, nothing comes before 1. So the whole theory of giving a picture to relate too is the purpose of its being.
Thanks, you're my first reply.

It didn't really work though, because you can't just throw numbers around like that and expect it to make sense. I mean, the math in the OP makes about as much sense as saying "I have an apple and you have an orange, and an apple = 6 and an orange = 9, so together we have 15 fruit." Like, I'm just making up numbers at that point. That's more or less how I see the math part of the OP - useless and made up. They don't add clarity to his idea, they don't even seem to correspond to his idea at all.
But, he does think that in any case where there are 2 options, each one has a 50% chance of being true, so it just fits the data that he really know how to properly utilize numbers.

If you've actually seen chance, then...well, then you're not speaking English. Chance isn't visible, so I doubt you've seen it.
Now, if what you actually mean is that you've flipped, or seen someone, flip a coin 10,000 times in a row and 9999 of those times, it landed on heads, I have three things to say:
1) the coin was most definitely fixed
2) you just provided an example of why there being two options doesn't necessarily mean there's a 50/50 chance, so good job debunking yourself
3) why did you watch someone flip a coin 10,000 times in a row?

The real problem though is that you assume there are no answers to you questions merging on yet another finite oint that could never contain any concept of God but monotheism.

jam2001 wrote:Tork I just want to say that you must be a very gifted individual to have had the insight of yours represented by that equation. I agree wholeheartedly with the concept you express but it only came to me in a book I recently read. In that book the author describes how we either by nature or by being taught always try and digress our reasoning to a central point as you describe. In algebra we always try and reduce and equation to balance it in its smallest form at the equal sign. The author shows that in more complex calculus we try and digress as close as we can to the Bernoulli limitation of zero. The big question he asks is why is zero limited? He goes on to state that zero is limited because it is the inner limit to our reasoning that keeps us from seeing beyond a dimensional universe. He states that zero is limited from us because even though it occupies a place in the number line it does not really exist. It is the center of all dimensional thinking where in becomes out but that is only our limitation. He calls zero the residence of chaos energy because it is the source of reaoning and therefor contains all that exists and yet is so far beyond our awareness that for us it does not exist.
