Default Re: Vatican Astronomer Debunks ID

I've been busy trying to figure out SK. But as for your numbers these may help.

DS: "The probability that Jesus was resurrected is one in a quintillion. The probability that Jesus is the messiah or the son of God is one in a septillion. The probability that God listens to prayers and grants wishes from Christians but not dolphins, aliens, or Muslims is one in a novemdecillion."

As far as the number you want to use for probability that there is a god. Well you'd have to take all the separate god's that are thought about and add them together. Add in some unkown gods for good measure. If christianity is the most likely religion, it's doesn't look so good for God. It is nowhere close to 50/50. Add I belive that that is the orignal arguement between person A and person B. Actually I'm sure the original arguement was person A says 100% there is a God. Person B say it is much closer to 100% there isn't a god. After a couple years it appears that one Person A moved down to it being 50/50. Most person A's still say it's 100%.
