This is a serious misunderstanding of probability. When someone won the lottery in the past he did not have a 100% chance of winning the lottery even though in hind sight he won.
A person who has a 1 in a million chance to win the lottery CAN still win the lottery. And if he does win the lottery, his chances of winning was STILL one in a million.
Same with life in the universe. Just because it happened does not make the probability of it happening at all 100%. Far from it.
- Gupie 6y agoI was only joking when saying 100%, but it is high. It is like having a bag of 1000 marble and you put your hand in and pull out a green one. You now know that the probability that there are a lot of green marbles in the bag is high.
