Hello Catholiccontriversy and I just need to share this little bit of atheist strawman fail that just proves that the Lord works in mysterious ways, and why it is written "you shall not put the Lord your God to the test" [Matthew 4:7].
So for those of you who may not know, the /b/ board on the website 4chan is...not the nicest place on the internet; it's full of porn, gore, swearing, and is generally very despicable. I don't recommend it at all. On 4chan, users share images (and many times accompanying text) and each image is assigned a post number so the servers can keep track of them, and on /b/ one thing users try to do is make a post where the post number is incorporated into their post. An example of such a post would be "last 2 numbers of the post are number of girls I kissed," and the post ends in 35 (though it's usually more explicit than that). Since all numbers are incremental based on the previous post made to 4chan, and with thousands of images uploaded every minute, users don't know what the number will be.
Well, one 4chan user did this to "prove God does not exist" by saying "if this post ends in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, God does not exist," which means that through this "experiment," "God exists if the post ends in 0." Did I mention /b/ is a rather despicable place? Yeah. Well the great irony is that the post did end in a zero. So I guess God exists.
Well it doesn't stop there. Since users are able to add more images and comments to the original post with the same numbering scheme, the users of 4chan decided to try this "ends in a specific number test" 6 more times on the original post, and each time the result was "God exists." Each time there was a 10% chance of getting the result "God exists," but with basic probability and statistics, if one talks about 2 times in a row, that mean a 1% chance since 10% (0.1) X 10% (0.1) = 1% (0.01). We are no longer talking about 10 different possibilities, we are talking about 10 different possibilities, each with 10 different possibilities within, with only 1 possibility of those 100 being the desired possibility. Since this is done 7 times, there are 10^7 possibilities, or 10,000,000 total possible outcomes with only 1 being "God exists" 7 times in a row, or a 0.00001% chance.
Now please don't misunderstand the point of this post. I am not using this as proof that God exists, nor am I implying that this is a legitimate way to prove the existences of God. I am only sharing this as a fun little example of why "thou shalt not test thy Lord your God" and just to prove that God is everywhere, even the blasphemous 4chan.
Well, this has been Catholiccontriversy, signing off, and may God bless you.
Oh, and if you would like to see the post, here is a screen capture that someone else shared on a different image sharing website.
