OC
here you go skipper some poorly done oc because you're a handsome capybara
i am losing my mind
i've heard of the monty hall problem before but couldn't wrap my head around it and just chalked it up to bored mathematicians getting back at all the jocks that bullied them by making up some bullshit but no its fucking real
if you dont want to sit through 5 minutes of NERD SHIT here is the premise:

there are 3 prizes behind 3 doors in a game show. one is a car, the other two are goats. you have a 1/3 chance of guessing the door that hides the car.
after selecting the door you want to open, hoping its a car, the host opens one of the two doors and reveals a goat.
there are now 2 doors, each with a 50% chance of containing a car or a goat. naturally one would expect that their chances of getting a car rose from 33% to 50%, but that is not the case. sticking with the first still only nets a 33% chance while switching to the other door that was not revealed or chosen by the player nets a 66% chance of getting a car.
this is bullshit and i didnt believe it so after not having written any code in over 10 years i relearned the basics of python just to prove some moron in a news papaer wrong
it ran 100 iterations and spit out the result this is bullshit i hate math

debunking the entirety of this post:
Always remember that context is extremely important in understanding the Bible. Those that do not have ears cannot hear.
gen 1 24 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/gen/1/24/s_1024
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
Dogs will bear dogs. Horses will bear horses. Humans will bear humans. A doberman and a sheltie can breed together. An african and an asian can as well.

Jude 1 7 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/jde/1/7/s_1167007
as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
"Strange flesh" refers to homosexuality, not miscegenation.

Dan 2 43 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/dan/2/43/s_852043
“As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
The context: Daniel is a captive of king Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel is gifted by God the power to prophesy and interpret dreams. The king's dream is laid out in Dan 2:1-13. The interpretation is in 2:14-45
In the dream there is a statue with a head made of gold and the chest and arms of silver. Further down the body of the statue the materials to make it become more common until the feet are only an amalgamation of clay and iron. This predicts that future kingdoms will have more ethnicites in them and because of this the people of these kingdoms will have less phillia (as the greek philosopher Aristotle writes) and will be less cohesive. In short this predicts that there will be more miscegenation which will cause strife. It does not say that race mixing is a sin.

Micah 5 7 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mic/5/7/s_898007
This passage is entirely different from what is being referenced. This also mentions Joel 1 which is also referenced is totally irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Num 25 6-15,17 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/num/25/1/s_142001
too long to repost. click the link.
The chapter begins with God turning his anger against Israel because they were buying Moabite whores, marrying Moabite women, and ultimately turning away from the Lord to worship false gods. The Lord ordered that these idolaters be hanged in the sun before the presence of the Lord. A Israelite man and his Median wife were killed for idol worship. Peace came to Israel because they purged the idolatry, not because they killed miscegenators.
The most important verse here is Num 25 5: "So Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”" They were not ordered to kill people who miscegenated. They were ordered to kill idolaters. God ordered the children of Israel not to marry with those outside the race because it would lead to idolatry, not because race mixing its self is a sin.

Various references in the gospels related to Jesus calling the pharisees "sons of the devil", "offspring of vipers", or otherwise attacking them.
Matt 23 33 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/23/1/s_952001

There are many prophesies in the old testament regarding the coming of the Messiah (that is Christ). This includes that the jews would reject Him. Jesus attacked the pharisees because they did the work of satan. They did not worship God, though they pretended to.
These passages do not speak of miscegenation.
Matt 15:24 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/15/24/s_944024
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
As mentioned above, this is a fulfillment of a prophesy. The messiah would come for the jews and they would reject him.

Jer 31 27 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/jer/31/27/s_776027
“Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast.
In the chapters previous to Jer 31 the Israelis were in captivity to another nation. They were restored from this captivity and in Jer 31 the Lord is saying that he will bless His people. "sowing seed of men and seed of beast means that offspring of both men and domesticated animals will be abundant. If this was referring to jews miscegenating then based on the context here God would be praising Israel for taking foreign wives and husbands, which is not the case.

Mal 4 1 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mal/4/1/s_929001
“For behold, the day is coming,
Burning like an oven,
And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble.
And the day which is coming shall burn them up,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“That will leave them neither root nor branch.
This is a prophesy that sinners will be destroyed. This chapter does not reference miscegenation.

Matt 13: the parable of the sower https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/13/1/s_942001
too long to repost. click the link.
This also does not reference miscegenation. This parable is deep enough to be its own multiple part sermon. I encourage you to read it and ask questions in the comments.

Luke 11 50-51 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/luk/11/50/s_984050
“that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, [51]“from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
In Luke 11 33-54 Jesus is dining with pharisees and lawyers and in his conversation he is calling them hypocrites. Specifically in 50-51 He is saying that just as the prophets of old were sometimes martyred, disciples of Christ would be martyred as well.
(I actually spoke to an Elder about this one for an hour. While I am certain of my accuracy in other verses, I am very certain of this one.)

Rev 20 10
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[fn] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
This has nothing to do with race mixing.

Mal 1 2-3
“I have loved you,” says the LORD.
“Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved us?’
Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?”
Says the LORD.
“Yet Jacob I have loved;
[3]But Esau I have hated,
And laid waste his mountains and his heritage
For the jackals of the wilderness.”
This has nothing to do with race mixing. This passage is referring to the fact that despite Esau being the first born son, God chose Jacob to be the lineage of God's people.

Deu 23 3 https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/deu/23/3/s_176001
“An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the LORD; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the LORD forever,
God does not punish men for their fathers' sins. He only prophesies their destruction because they will engage in the same sins as their fathers. This is seen in many parts of the Bible such as God prophesying that David's house will have strife because he had taken another man's wife and then killed that man to hide his sin. This is also seen in the various gospel references above (especially Luke 11) in which Jesus condemns the pharisees as "sons of the devil" because they were guilty of the same sins as their fathers who had killed the prophets. Their forefathers killed prophets, they built tombs for the prophets as an outward gesture of Godliness but they too would kill the final prophet, Jesus.
