William Lane Craig's abuse of Bayes' Theorem

[Dr Freed]

Hi guys,

I've just uploaded my first youtube video on religion. It's a mathematician's perspective of William Lane Craig's (ab)use of Bayes' Theorem in connection to the resurrection of Jesus.

It's called "Craig's Calamitous Cock-Up". (If you've watched the Craig/Ehrman debate, you'll know what I'm talking about.)

As it's my first step into this area, I'd really appreciate any feedback, and naturally I'm asking you guys before I try and (shock horror) convince a Christian.

And of course, if you feel it's a useful video, please feel free to share it with your friends.

Cheers,
Dr F.

Doc, do you have a transcript I could read please?

Very interesting.

I'm surprised he gets away with it so often.

Doc, do you have a transcript I could read please?

Sure, Xeno. Do you want the words I spoke, or the slides? They overlap, but aren't exactly the same. I could PM you the words if that's what you want, but would need an email address to send the slides (a pdf file).
