Okay, what? I don't want to be mean in case English isn't your first language, but I cannot understand you there. We've been talking about how evidence for something increases the probability it's true. Claims are evidence. Therefore claims increase the probability of something being true. But again, this doesn't make them likely at all. I've given you several examples of how this is the case, but I can't help but notice your lack of response to them.
