Atheism - ? I agree..

[mfc]

Let's say that hypothetically we are 100% sure there is a god. Now let us assume that this god is the god that Abrahamic religions believe in (so that's a 1/2870 chance according to this link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_gods_..._are_there , and is a very generous estimate since it only starts counting from the point of writing). Now lets assume that the correct religion for that god is Islam (1/2870 * 1/9). Now let's assume that you correct teaching of the Islam is the one you believe in( 1/2870 * 1/9 * 1/8).

The chance of you believing in the right thing is 4.83933411 * 10^-6 . And that's not even taking into account the fact that we aren't 100% certain there is a good, and assumes that right now humans do believe in the right religion if there is one. I also didn't do much research into any of the branches etc, so there are probably way more branches of Islam and more religions etc.

Everytime i see this calculation i just feel like this:

Polytheism:

Greek: Zeus, Hermes, Hades, Hera, Aphrodite, etc...
Roman: Iuppiter, Mors, Terra, etc...
Norse: Odin, Thor, Loki, Njordr, etc...
Hindu: Krishna, Vishnu, Kali, Ishvara, etc...
Chinese Folk (Simple): Shangdi, Mazu, Shou Xing, Tu Di Gong, etc...
Shinto (Japanese): Izanagi-no-Mikoto, Izanami-no-Mikoto, etc...
Celtic: Cernunnos, Damona, Epona, etc...
Egyptian: Ra, Isis, Anubis, Osiris, etc...
Summerian: An, Ki, Enlil, Enki, etc...
Babylonian: Sin, Marduk, Ishtar, Nabu, etc...
Persian: Simurgh, Rostam, Gaokerena, etc...
Aboriginal: Bunyip, Kurreah, Mutjinga, etc...

Now tell me how many believers do they have?(except chinese and hindu ones)

Now let's assume that you correct teaching of the Islam is the one you believe in(...* 1/8).

U cannot add dat 1/8 because they all are same at the core.

I don't know where that 1/9 came from

It will still look silly but maybe your calculation should be like this:

and add more like 6 (if its too neccessary)

=1/10
