Let's say:

1. Mary always goes to the market on Wednesday (100%)
2. Mary is at the Market right now (100%)
3. Therefore, it must be Wednesday (at least about 14.3%)

There are seven days of the week, for all we know Mary goes every Wednesday and Sunday, every Wednesday and additional day if needed, or even every day. The odds would be at least 1/7 (we definitely know Wednesday is a day she goes to the market), but the information given doesn't take us to 95%, even with both premises at 100%.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
