Yes, it's highly probable. I didn't claim anywhere that an internally coherent belief is a correct belief.

Am I following along correctly so far?
I'm not just bloviating or some such?
No, this is not the argument. I said that none of the objections to theism are conclusive, i.e. theism was never proven to be logically incoherent. Therefore, one is faced with two choices : exaggerate these objections and take the easy way out of belief OR reconcile these objections with belief. Since some people managed to do the latter, belief is more justified than non-belief.
The Dune books are logically coherent in their own fictional world. They are as factual as the bible/Koran/(insert religious text of choice).
