INTELLIGENT? DESIGN? Here are the really tough questions . . .

Was it your Karma?

Or was it your Luck?

Do you wear or own a "charm" or "amulet?" For Luck?

Just How did you get here?

How did you live so long? Did Luck do you any favors? Come on! Does Luck have anything to do with your life? Do Luck and winning occur simultaneously?

Rhetorical questions? Yes . . .still . . . But . . .

I do have some real questions for you.

Truthful answers will tell you much about yourself, as well as telling you about me! It’s okay; you can go ahead and lie to yourself and lie to me. Only you will know the truth; you think? You have choices, don’t you?

Oh. You’ve never had any Luck? Sure you have. Maybe it was bad Luck?

The easy questions:

• Are you Lucky?
• Have you been Lucky?
• Are you a gambler?
• What kind of hands (figuratively) are you dealt?
• What kinds of games (figuratively) do you play?
• Do you play?

The hard questions:

• Do you think your streak of bad Luck will end soon?
• Will good Luck balance your bad Luck?
• Do you think each person has equal instances of good and bad Luck?
• Does Luck describe or explain happenstance in the universe?
• Does Luck have anything to do with anything?

Now, actuaries and statisticians cite coincidences, probability, permutations, combinations and bell curves to describe everything. Even physicists do it! Don’t you believe it! Statistics and probabilities are the worst possible crutch to suggest an understanding of the way things in the universe occur. Unless pressed, statisticians and actuaries don’t mention their uncertainties!

They speak with an unrealistic superiority, a smugness, claims of all powerful ‘statistical accuracy’. They imply absolute certainty is well within the range of their calculations. How do entropy, probability and Luck relate? Do Lucky things probably happen?

You, as a realist, know occurrences are, or are not. Happenings don’t “probably happen.” They happen, or they don’t. Einstein understood that logic and he believed God rolled no dice.

I was 24 when awarded my PhD in Biophysics and I celebrated. I bought a bottle of champagne and a single quick-pick Power Number Lottery ticket. I won the lottery grand prize! The prize was an obscenely large amount of money – nearly a quarter billion dollars! But the question is: was I Lucky? Was this my Karma? Did I deserve this Luck? Let us consider Fate. I’m female; what are you?

------------------- About the preceding ---- Think about it.

Seriously, those questions above are all very hard questions -- especially for Intelligent Designers.

Her 'Luck' has not yet occurred. But it will. There is certainty where there is no Luck. Likewise, there is certain Luck.

-----
No. I am not female. The questioner above is. Her time is soon.

Yes. It is a part of the story ahead. But you need to think about your Luck.
