the slippery "F" word - my solution

Actually, Hume's Problem of Induction says that we can't infer from past experience that the world will act in the same way as it did before.

Still, this doesn't justify believing in blatant nonsense like religion.

ahh, but I circumvent that by also specifying the degree of probability- me saying "all chairs never break when you sit on em" is wrong, but saying "chairs won't break when you sit of em" with 99,9% (approx - one would need to do a LOT of practical tests to determine the true percentage) - so this is still valid
