Evidence and probability go hand in hand?
#8
RE: Evidence and probability go hand in hand?
Yeah but the estimation isn't merely intutive, its lack of evidence, estimated improbabiility and the fact that God is far more complex and improbable than the explanation he gives.
Adrian, you say that there is no evidence for string theory, therefore by my mind it would be improbable.
But is there really no evidence for it? Surely it is self-evident that string theory is mathamatically sound and it works. Surely that counts as evidence?
