wat is probable?

Submitted by lcorhan on Fri, 11/13/2009 - 6:16am.

You're free to write about whatever has struck you.  If you need something to get you started though, what do you think of the idea that everything it is because things are falling apart (becoming more probable) that we and other improbable assemblies (including DNA molecules) can exist?

This question itself makes me start thinking about what exactly is "probable" and "improbable"? If I look at life, I see many many humans. I am surrounded by humans. If there are sooooo many humans, are we really THAT improbable? I think this problem may come back to social definitions.
