probable

A four-panel comic. A red-haired man lies in bed at night and asks the ceiling, "God, why is there something and not nothing?" A speech bubble from above answers, "Probability." In the next panels the man sits up and God explains: "There are infinite possible ways to have something and only one way to have nothing." God rephrases it as a math problem: "God, if I pick a random number from an infinite list of numbers, why isn't there a 50-50 chance of getting zero?" The man starts to object, "I mean isn't it? It either happens or it doesn't, so—" and God cuts him off with: "Why did you eat the apple of knowledge, but not the pear of sense?" Votey aftercomic: God's voice over a faint sketch of the man's face adds, "I would also have recommended the zucchini of self-control."
