Reply #83: You are treating a fallacy as a probability.

A fallacy is invalid. You can't change that by majority vote. You can't use probability to make a fallacy valid. It does not work. It is still a fallacy.

I'm sorry you don't understand that, but regardless of probability, a fallacy is a fallacy.

You can add 2+2 and get 3 a million times, by it is still incorrect. You can do it a billion times over a million years and it is still incorrect.

Like the eclipse example. Prior to the discovery of the solar-centric model of the solar system, none of the observations were correct. There were millions of observations--all wrong. None of those observations individually or as a group changed either the number of possible explanations or the probability that they were correct.

It is my conclusion that you are trying desperately to justify by obfuscation a theory that has no value. A fallacy is a fallacy, not a probability. The reason it is called a fallacy is that it is false--zero probability of validity.

If you want to justify belief in a deity by using a fallacy, that's OK with me, you are not the first. But you have chosen a really bad argument to convince people who understand fallacies. And an even worse argument for people who understand probabilities.
