Except, as I say, that there is a good chance God hates smart arses which gives an equal argument to the contrary.

I'm not sure I'd agree.

I'd much rather face 75% odds to win 10 million pounds, than 0.001% to win infinite pounds.

I wouldn't put a number on it, I'm not sure that is possible.

With my current level of knowledge all I can say is it is probably not 0 and not 1.
