Maths & Probabilities

A girl I used to work with had a deal with her boyfriend: On payday, they would go to the casino - but they would only take $20 each and when the $20 was gone, they'd go home. If you must gamble, that seems like a sensible approach.However, one time they had barely walked in the door when he won $400. He put it into his pocket and they continued until both had used up their original $20. He said it was time to go home but she wanted him to continue with the $400 that he had won.Of course, that's how they get you: If you lose, you want to win it back; if you win, you want to win more so you keep playing until you lose your winnings.

That may be the best thing you ever posted.

As I have said before, I try to use the word "likely" when I have no way of calculating the mathematical probability. And words are not as precise as numbers, so I don't think it's wise to put too fine a distinction on qualifiers.I would say that your God is pretty unlikely, especially since you're still in the process of making Him up. "A" god is more likely.
