"50-50 chance" needs to go.
I'm listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLtS_fU3u_A&NR=1 and the fundy keeps saying "There's a 50-50 chance" of God being real, either he is or he isn't. That is just wrong, of course, but it got me thinking. From now on I'll be using "The chances range between 0% and 100%, and you'll have to show that it's actually 50% before we proceed".

There's a 50/50 chance that your Xian fundie is homosexual - call him out on that. Either he is or he isn't - therefore 50/50.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Wouldn't he actually be a bisexual?Either he is or he isn't - therefore 50/50.

There's a 50-50 chance of the earth being flat. Either it is or it isn't.

You can prove anything with numbers - half the globe is in recovery mode based on heaping massive debts on their debt mountains. Numbers can and have been used to justify and prove anything. Once you've accepted the base premise of 2+2=5 the remainder of your logical structure is usually very sound.

Re: "50-50 chance" needs to go.
But there must be a 50/50 chance for each god being real, so the probability of one of them being the real one approaches 100%...but which does he choose?

It is clear we have too many gods. Some must be fakes. But can we eliminate all the fakes wihout risking losing the genuine article?Geoff wrote:But there must be a 50/50 chance for each god being real, so the probability of one of them being the real one approaches 100%...but which does he choose?
