Yeah, this Bayes theorem shit is probably interesting to a math geek but it is in essence a comparison of probabilities. That is fine but then Carrier frequently seems totally arbitrary (or worse ) in the assignment of numerical values to those probabilities. Now for the "or worse" part. He almost always tends to over-value religious positions I suppose in the interest of "fairness." It is not necessary. The story is bullshit and he knows it from the beginning and all of this alleged mathematical proof is a distraction from the narrative.
The fact that jesus is nothing special within the literature of the time is sufficient.
