97 per cent certain !!!!!!!!?????

Christ's resurrection by God proved by maths, logic from HT

"Swinburne, while giving a public lecture at the Australian Catholic University said that probability calculus showed a probability of 97 per cent that Christ was resurrected. He said that the conclusion was arrived at after a series of complex calculations, which began with the probability of God's existence as one in two, that is either God existed or did not, adding that it was also one in two that God became incarnate.
Arguing that the evidence for God's existence was an argument for the resurrection, and any evidence against God's existence was an argument against the resurrection, he said that the chance of Christ's resurrection not being reported by the gospels had the probability of one in 10. These factors, all coming together, if the resurrection was not true, were one in 1000, he said."

too funny. Is that the same church that says you just 'have to have faith', and then tries to go scientific?
