can ya quantify the odds of Gods!!??
There is a planet; (A)
A being from that planet; called (B) What nation (C) on this planet is that being from? note we don't anything about the planet (excepting that below), and nothing of the being (excepting that they reside in nations), nor of the number or nature of the nations on this planet (excepting that there are nations), what is the rationality in a conviction that the nation the being belongs to is called exactly and in this language "CrazyLandUSA"? -------------------------------------- real thread: Is it completely unreasonable to believe in God? That is, sorry mate, NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITH THE TOOTH FAIRY... or is there some possibility that God could exist, in any mathamatics system? that is, can you quantify the odds? |

there must be a way to put it into a formula... I'm only in basic geometry and have only done besides a few algebra classes...

The question baffles me. I don't know why you're asking it.

What if this topic gets sent to ~E~ unless a connection to the Existence of God is made?

And as I have even less tolerance for nonsense that Chris today, off you go to ~E~.

Seeing that I can...
So I'm taking it as a no... You cannot quantify the odds of whether God exists or not? Is it mathamatically possible to outline the odds? That is really what I'm asking, would it be possible to present the question in a way which shows what you would need to know to determine the answer... Obviously it won't be in these formats: X% X:Y or anything, but there must be a forumla which takes into account all the variables which need to be known to determine the chances of a particular deity existing... a mathamatical presentation... |

 is there no mathamatics people present? Is this ~E~ things some kind of Abyss for threads that are presented in a manner not befitting the audience?  Or is it for popular threads? Okay I know its not for popular threads... I think the odds of god existing has something to do with the existence of God... or is it just the screamed and slurred title? |
