The oxford handbook for Rationality (or via: amazon.co.uk) is good. i read the chapter on Bayesian reasoning and found nothing about what Oxymoron speaks of. I have also read Swinburne's Confirmation Theory (or via: amazon.co.uk)--a good book--and found nothing. Same with other books that i have read on the topic: nothing!

I'd like Oxymoron to source his claims.

Thanks!

Would you also have some more affordable recommendations?

Thanks!

Edit: Oops, seems like one of the links disappeared.

No links should have disappeared - I have only edited them to standard IIDB format. If something is missing let me know.

Here's the link, I could've already included it in my previous post. :banghead:

What are your sources for your claims regarding theism? Well, er, uh, I dunno.

Oxymoron

From the father of modern Bayesianism:

Hi,

Is this your source? if so, please include a page number.

Tell me more about this so called 'real world' as opposed to a 'fictional world'. And, why these would have bearing on the issue. Thanks.


It just seems odd that Swinburne, an eminent philosopher of science at Oxford University, and author of adored Confirmation Theory, would somehow miss this so-called occluding aspect. Moreover, it was Swinburne himself who I was going to refer to for a Bayesian-like account for the resurrection.
