"Which is more likely? That Jesus resurrected or that unicorns exist?"

It sounds as though you were implying that the reasonable answer is the ressurection. But given the way DNA works and the fact that we still sometimes find new species in the jungles of Madagascar, any atheist worth his salt would pick the unicorn. I'm not worth my salt but I would love to bet hundreds of thousands on the unicorn if there was any way to come to a conclusion.

[/ QUOTE ]I took jesus' resurection from the way the question was worded. If the question stated "unicorns ever existed or still exist", or that jesus was resurected by the hands of the God of the Bible, I'd take the corns hands down.

I think you are combining unicorns and Pegasus together.

Oops, sorry didn't read that this was already corrected by others.

Unicorns by a long way
p(unicorns) = nearly zero
p(resurrection) = much nearer to zero

I sure hope my four year old daughter doesn't read this. Whatever you do, don't say anything about Pegasus.
