Mathematical Probability

Paraphrased: The following probabilities are taken from Peter Stoner in Science Speaks (Moody Press, 1963) to show that coincidence is ruled out by the {mathematical science of probability.}
Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to eight prophecies: "we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017." That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000! In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that “we take 1017 silver dollars and lay them on the face of
Stoner considers 48 additional fulfilled prophecies and says, “we find the chance that any one man fulfilling all 48 prophecies to be 1 in10157 ”
OR 1 in……
100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, ---PETER W. STONER, M.S. After a thorough review of Professor Stoner’s final conclusion The American Scientific Affiliation stated: “The mathematical analysis included is based upon principles of probability which are thoroughly sound and Professor Stoner has applied these principles in a proper and convincing way.” Regarding Truth: " I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 [ God is Holy,{it is a grounded, cemented, unchangeable} part of His nature. It is not merely one of His attributes but it is His totality in perfection. This is not likely something we will ever fully grasp or undestand; and we are not asked to. What He does command is that we recognize that we are not, holy, we are sinners, and that Yeshua {Jesus} is "the way" to be forgiven.] Still need to know more? Let's go!

Whoever heard of an investment that had only one chance in 1017 chance of failure? The business world has no conception of such an investment. Yet we are offered this investment by God.”
