When you remove all other considerations, there are only two possible answers to the question 'Will my arms spontaneously fall off at 11am today?'. That's 50/50, ergo there is a 50% chance of my arms spontaneously falling off at 11am. Someone doesn't understand how odds work. It's not too surprising that it's you.

Shit, I actually have to explain this to you again? Learn to read, lucent.
Not if it can be replicated just as sincerely and with as much supporting evidence as the believer of any religion. Can you please tell me that you understand why? Your personal testimony is useless, because a Muslim/Hindu/Scientologist/whatever could provide the same in support of their religion. Like I said, you can't grasp the simplest idea.
I'm actually really enjoying this thread now, because it has been revealed so clearly how idiotic you are. Great stuff.
