Did you ignore the second part of my post, because I did answer your question, and explained why I did not like the word improbable? I think that you may be seeking to put words in my mouth, and then trying to beat up that straw man (and complaining when I don't go along with that). Also, even if you are successful in trying to turn things back on me, and find some sort of hypocrisy, it doesn't make your argument. It wouldn't make your reasoning correct (although it may confront me with a choice). It doesn't change that if you are making a claim about the objective world, that you have a burden of proof towards that claim. Further arguing that it is true (or more probable) until it is proven to be false, is the argument from ignorance. Also the more you speak on the matter, the more I am thinking that by improbable, you are just talking about your own personal incredulity. What is it, that you mean by "improbable"?
