Not every thing lends itself to math, but the precise exactness of the laws in this case and the facts thereof, do. For that reason, probability is particular is well-suited to our case. This project was done with the help of two prominent members of the Math Department of Dixie State University. The exacting science of probability shows the claim is not merely a "<B>preponderance of evidence</B>" level situation, making it "<B>more likely than not,</B>" or even just a "<B>clear and convincing</B>" case, meaning it is exceptionally compelling. But it is nothing less than the highest confidence level available, which is far "<B>beyond reasonable doubt.</B>" This is because it has achieved mathematical certainty.</div> <bR> <div> <B>          The probability question was: "</B><B><U>What are the chances that all 40+ separate legal and situational facts would combine to bear a perfect witness that our claim is absolutely true, if it wasn't absolutely and totally true?</U></B><B>" That is, when all, not some, but all the evidence points in one direction in a major court hearing and the defense cannot produce any law or any contrary facts, then the conclusion is clear, obvious and unmistakable. Probability provides an even greater assurance or level of certainty.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="debe0fc0.jpg" border=0 width="736" height="252" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B>          Keep in mind that from back-alley dice games to highly sophisticated research in laboratories, </B><B><U>the laws of probability have proven themselves to be just as dependable as the laws of gravity</U></B><B>. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>          </B><B>The result: an impressive 17,000,000 to one likelihood if we ignore 40% of the proof (in other words, this is the most conservative figure, for if we use all the evidence, it is not merely a billion to one, but 1.1 trillion to one) that the claim could be anything but a true and genuine transmission of all rights and privileges.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>          Zero probability means there is no chance of something happening, or in our case, there is no chance or only a one in 17,000,000 that our claim could be wrong. On the other hand, this means there is a 100% </B><B>or 99.999411764703%</B><B> likelihood that our claim is anything, but profoundly and beautifully true. </B><B><U>As stated several times, this kind of certainty is equal to or greater than any other regal claim that ever existed.</U></B><B> The claim could hardly be stronger. </B><B>This means it is as strong and powerful as the claim of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth I of England and her rightful successors.

Otherwise, one will do a great injustice to the verified facts, the historical realities, and the legal truths that saturates this case. But, as a result of such an effort, one would end up knowing a lot about the laws that created the transfer. </div> <bR> <div>           Every new, added and discovered fact of support has acted exponentially to the probability or likelihood that any proposed claim is absolutely true. <B>One chance in 1.1 trillion</B> that this claim is wrong or <B>1.1 trillion to one odds</B> that it is right certainly puts this case in a category of beyond doubt. This enormous figure is conclusive of the fact. One might as well deny that the sun and moon exist as to doubt, or believe that pigs fly that this case is not of the highest confidence level possible in mortal life.</div> <bR> <div>           For example <B>DNA</B> proof is required to be <B>100 billion to one</B> that something is an undeniable fact or absolutely true. (David E. Newton, <I>Forensic Chemistry</I>, 2007, p. 146) By comparison, the certainty of our case adds up to over <B>1.1 trillion to one</B> that honorable laws gave us the principality. This is <B>1,100 times greater</B> or more sure than <B>DNA</B> evidence is required to be. This says a lot about the immense credibility of the case as an established fact.</div> <bR> <div>           The point is, our claim is not built on flimsy evidence, but on solid rock.</div> <bR> <div> <B> <A NAME="evidence_in_a_nutshell"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Evidence in a Nutshell:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>          </B>There are three types of belief: (1) a vague belief, (2) a well-supported belief, and (3) a belief that is beyond reasonable doubt. As will be seen, this case is build on the highest level of evidence possible. It is far above any reasonable doubt. </div> <bR> <div>           The point is, no one can just make a grand royal claim and it somehow someway magically becomes legit. It must be legally valid to be rightful. Legality is what divides the sheep from the goats. It distinguishes the true royals from the fakes, the impostors and the counterfeiters.

Therefore, it can, with confidence, and without error, be used to identify what is valid and true from that which is false.</div> <bR> <div>           In other words, the rule of law can eliminate the confusion and misunderstandings that prevail in the field. </div> <bR> <div>           Natural law is the universal standard of decency and rightfulness. It is inherent in human nature and is discoverable to the rational mind. It is the rational idea of right and wrong and forms the basis of all just societies. Hence, natural law is the only law on earth that transcends differences in culture, time, place and government. That is, these laws are binding on all mankind. As an example, if there is no such thing as right and wrong or no natural law, why not put Dracula in charge of the blood bank? Or, have Hitler in charge of nuclear weapons? Examples of some lessor offenses include: to double-cross or betray another is universally frowned on. Selfishness is rarely admired or glorified. In other words, decency absolutely is fundamental to a truly civil society. As such, there could hardly be a more important law. It has been concluded that "<B>natural Law . . . is the highest law . . . superior to the laws made by nations, states, and municipalities.</B>" (Winona LaDuke, "Voices from White Earth," <I>People, Land and Community</I>, Hildegarde Hannum, ed., 1997, p. 25) Cicero, one of the great experts on natural law, declared, "<B>. . . no legislation can alter the validity of natural laws, which remain binding on all people.</B>" (Warren T. Reich, <I>Encyclopedia of Bioethics</I>, vol. 1, 1982, p. 818) "<B>. . . Nature [is] the source of the highest law and morality . . . is inborn in all men, is older than all the ages, is everywhere the same, cannot be in any wise altered or repealed. It is the basis of all morality.</B>" (James Bryce, <I>Studies in History and Jurisprudence</I>, vol. 2, 1901, p. 137)</div> <bR> <div>           Natural Law existed before the ancient prophets, before Adam, and the Patriarchs, even before the formation of the stars, the galaxy and the earth. It is eternal. "<B>Natural Law is reality . . . not illusion!</B>" (Paraphrased and altered from the article Frederick Graves, Natural Law, Jurisdictionary; 2015: <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B><U>https://www.howtowinincourt.com/frameset.cfm?mTitle=QNaturalLaw</U></B></FONT>)  As the Apostle Paul wrote: "<B>When the Gentiles which have not the Law, do by nature the things contained in the Law . . . show the work of the law [is] written in their hearts, their conscience . . . their [very] thoughts . . . accusing or else excusing one another.</B>" (Romans 2:14-15) It is in the makeup of the universe and the inner nature and workings of man. "<B>Those who deny this [reality] are enemies of truth [and] enemies of truth are enemies of mankind.</B>" (<I>Ibid</I>.) The point is, "<B>no one is immune to the effects of Natural Law.</B>" (<I>Ibid</I>.) It has consequences. "<B>We can no more change [natural law] than we can change the path of [the planet] Jupiter [in its course around the sun]!</B>" (<I>Ibid.</I>) "<B>It doesn't make a bit of difference what we 'think' is fair or unfair. Natural Law is inescapable. Man's laws cannot change it!</B>" (<I>Ibid</I>.) Although we can make life hard and cruel by unjust laws, but we cannot legislate truth into fiction, light into darkness, or gravity into weightlessness. Truth is truth and it will remain that way to endless ages of all eternity. Reality cannot be changed, nor can it be reversed or transformed into something other than what it is. The truth must be discovered and intelligently reckoned with if our relationships with ourselves, others, and society in general is to be benevolent, healthy and worthwhile. To reverence and honor this higher law is the beginning of greatness and a just and worthwhile society.</div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >         Our claim is sustained and upheld by natural law -- the highest law on earth.
