Not only are those numbers arbitrary, but if there is a 50% probability that he exists, how in the world can you arrive at a 97% possibility of his resurrection? Is his resurrection somehow not linked with his existence?

More indepth,

quote:1) The probably of God's existence is one in two. That is, God either exists or doesn't.

The probably? Who the hell wrote this?

Bull. The probability of guessing correctly if given two choices is 1 in 2. The probability of one of those choices being the correct answer is based on what those choices are.

The probability of guessing whether this guy is full of BS is 1 in 2. The probability this guy is full of BS is higher than 50%.

Same answer for #2 and #4

quote:3) The evidence for God's existence is an argument for the resurrection.

Bull. But when someone considers #1 and #2 good logic, I guess he would have the arrogance to think proof of God means proof of the christian God.

The article is shit.

There is not 1 in 2 chance of god existing there are 2 possibilities each with unknown probalitities.

It is clearly a bunch of crap I bet you he was some christian buff who doesn't know anything about maths altogether let alone him being a doctor.

He is clearly a Christian. Which is why he's arguing how the Christian version of a supreme being could exist. Not just one in general.

Yes, the article is shit.

Sounds like bullshit created to support a bigger web of bullshit.
