The Probability of God

British theoretical physicist Stephen Urwin uses Bayes' Theorem to model belief in the existence of God.

See also the post at First Things.

The quantity D is the ratio of two probabilities; in particular, D equals the probability that the evidence occurs given that God exists divided by the probability that the evidence occurs given that God doesn't exist. Of course, these probabilities are subjective probabilities.
