Mental.
Big news here on the home front. I have convinced the editor of our local newspaper to let me start writing a regular column that I plan to entitle "Irreligiosity". I had to come out of the closet sooner or later. I guess I can kiss that retainer from the local Presbytery goodbye. Best, TAM.
By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your earlier (2009) debate with Marianne Talbot on this topic.

Mellor distinguishes physical and epistemic probability, but it seems to me that there is another kind of probability: logical probability. So just as you have logical, physical and epistemic possibility and necessity, you have probabilistic varietals of these.
Now, the thrust of Dawkins argument is, as you note, having to do with the complexity, the multiplicity of parts, which a designer would have to consist in. But, given a certain number of parts, there are great many number of ways to permute the structural arrangement of these parts, and the number of such arrangements will increase exponentially relative to the number of parts. By the principle of indifference, we can accord these arrangements an equal probability, and this means that any single arrangement will be unlikely. Assuming that only a few of these are minds capable of the designing required, then we can say that the logical probability of a designer is very low.
Are there any studies done on this?
