RE: RGA - Interpreting the statistics
Posted by RGA on April 11, 2011 at 13:47:14:
I am sorry but your link does not make sense. This is not hard. 10 marriages - ten years later 4 out of the ten marriages end in divorce. The statistics are not difficult.
The link you provided "invents" an argument.
"It all began when the Census Bureau noted that during one year, there
were 2.4 million marriages and 1.2 million divorces. Someone did the
math without calculating the 54 million marriages already in existence,
and presto, a ridiculous but quotable statistic was born."
NOWHERE did this occur. These studies and records go back a hundred years and it was not done during ONE year like the above quote claims. Whatever hack wrote this is trying to subvert the truth. Oh wait - it's a Christian publication - real bastions of science, reason, and math they are LOL
