HOW PROBABLE IS THIS? Like most arguments for most things, arguments for the existence of God can be expounded at different levels of sophistication; and arguments in terms of the probability calculus are for a minority. But the belief of so many since the seventeenth century that there is a God has depended on simple sermons which themselves expound somewhat more sophisticated writings such as Paleys Natural Theology or C. S. Lewiss popular apologetics; and their belief in the historicity of the Resurrection has depended on books such as Frank Morrisons Who Moved the Stone? Without them the beliefs of many Christians would be ill justified (in the sense of being improbable given their basic propositions), so ill justified as to make their practice of religion irrational. --Richard Swinburne
