I try to be tolerant. Probably not his fault he cannot understand it. Nice to see you once in a while DAK. I was trying to think of a level of understanding it takes to understand evolution. The first thing that came to mind was relativity, but almost no one really understands that and then I thought probability is the perfect analogy. Lots of people do not really understand probability. I remember when that sanctimonious right winger Bill Bennett lost 8 million playing $5 slots in vegas.He apparently did not understand he had zero chance of winning. Same with all the table games in Vegas. Over the long run they can calculate to the .0000001 level exactly how much they will make over a year based on probablity equations. I am a pretty good high stakes poker player and I never play any of the table games as my mental image of how much I will lose for certain is clear in my mind.
