"A small p-value by itself isnÂ ’ t enough to preclude chance ."
"Oh my , but is n't you 're whole endeavor to say that life has a small p-value , therefore could not have possible arisen by chance . I just happen to dispute the low p-value of life arising . Not only do evolutionists usually not accept a low p-value for life forming , we Pastafarians also do not accept it , since we know that there is 100 % chance of the FSM creating life with His Noodly Appendage . Then he starts equating the Bible Code ( which has been debunked , I mean seriously debunked , start here ) . In my mind , if the Isaac Newton of Information Theory says , `` At the same time that research in the Bible Code has taken off , research in a seemingly unrelated field has taken off as well , namely , biological design . These two fields are in fact closely related ... The relevant statistical methodology is identical for both fields , `` and I say that if one of those methodologies has been debunked , then so has the other . I think William Demski and other founding fathers of ID creationism are the movement 's worst enemies . They contradict themselves repeatedly and usually their words can easily be used against them to refute or debunk ID itself , and I do n't mean by quote mining or any other creationist tactic . On one hand there is Michael Behe , who under oath claimed that in order for ID to fit a definition of science , that definition also had to be broad enough to include astrology , and on the other hand there is William Demski , who claims that ID and the Bible Code follow the same statistical methodology and are very closely related . To me , it looks like these guys should be telling fortunes , not lobbying school boards . Well , I do suppose they are mostly sticking to selling books and lecturing for $ 200 an hour , so you 've got to give them credit for keeping up the sham for so long . I 'd really love it if someone got on this board and tried to defend the Bible Code or William Demksi 's apparent endorsement of it ."
