Re: Faith & the odds of God\'s existence
This is the logical fallacy 'Argumentum ad Numerum'.
This fallacy is closely related to the 'Argumentum ad Populum'. It consists of asserting that the more people who support or believe a proposition, the more likely it is that that proposition is correct. For example:
"At one time, most people in Europe believed that the Earth was the center of the Solar System."
"All I'm saying is that thousands of people believe in pyramid power, so there must be something to it."
