EvF you need a hobby my friend lol.First lets define probability,according to encarta=
statistics mathematical likelihood of event: the likelihood that an event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes in the set of outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

In other words a mathematical educated guess based on the theory of statistics.It does not mean that it is 100 percent correct but that it is the most likely answer.Example: It is more probable that man is a product of biological evolution through the process of natural selection than that he was created by an infinite being existing outside of time and space.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
