[net.philosophy] faith and probability

To Bill:

If you were to use faith in a gambling casino, you would lose.
The fact that you can't disprove faith is evident, but faith will
never hold up to demonstration. We do not presume these faiths,
we analyze and determine a probability to the best of our capability.

There are lots of things that are not subject to proof.

1) That any of this actually exists.

Complexity is not a requirement for validity. Probability *IS*.
