The discussion is about the odds of God existing and my point is that astronomically small odds can be dismissed with certainty. In a court of law a DNA sample is considered a match at the odds that there is a one in a million chance that it came from someone else. Considering I feel the odds of God's existence are less than that, I want to know if he thinks people should still keep an open mind at those kinds of odds.
I am reluctant to interpose, but a trial verdict is arrived at by the evidence presented.
