Probability - What It Says About Evolution - Kenneth C Herrmann - April 1971

Kenneth C Herrmann

Science vs. Theology? - Probability is that branch of mathematics which deals with "chance" - or, to be a bit more technical, uncertain phenomena. The probability of a given event is a number, between zero and one, which measures how likely it is that the event will occur. If an event is impossible, its probability is zero. If an event is an absolute certainty, its probability is one. A probability of 1/2 means that it is just as likely that the event will happen as it is that the event will not happen. Sometimes this situation is described by terms such as "50% chance," "50-50 chance," or "even money." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
