____f____(-c)|0|(+c)____k____
Let k=knowledge or something you know as fact and f=faith or something you believe and c=contingent or subject to chance
k=(+1) f=(-1)
k is absolute (+) while f is contingent (-)
B=Burden of Proof
f(-c)(+B)<k(+c)(-B)
Thusly if your belief is contingent (not absolute) the you (+B) bear the Burden of Proof.
If you do not believe/your belief is absolute then you (-B) do not bear the Burden of Proof.
Math makes everything easier.
Almost none of this makes sense.
What is the expression "f(-c)(+B)"? Are the terms being multiplied together?
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
